Recent Changes to Navigator
The Datastream Navigator has recently been enhanced to make it easier
for you to select the series you require from the millions of time series
available on Datastream. These changes include enhancements to:
• The datatype search interface – this now uses the powerful text search, explorer and filtering
facilities currently used for the series search – in order to facilitate the selection of the most
appropriate datatypes for your analysis.
• The preview pane, which displays charts and metadata for the series to help differentiate between
the series. This now displays:
• Links to pages on the source’s websites that cover their press releases for Economics series
• Dates the values for a series will next be updated for Economics series
• Lipper codes for Mutual Funds
• Thomson ONE codes for alternative Equity quotes
• The list creation and editing facilities in the My Selections interface to support:
• Series not currently held in the Datastream central servers or Navigator (but available in other
Thomson Reuters databases)
• Thomson ONE codes for alternative equity quotes
• Series/datatype/expression combinations – BARC(DY), 009E(BARC), etc
• Other facilities added in this version include:

• Display of the number of series in each explorer node, and the option to select and view multiple
explorers results pages
• Addition of shortcut keys to move quickly around the explorer hierarchies
• The indentations to the descriptions in the explorers are now exported with the series to Excel,
with a column for the indentation level
• Return of the RIC code for the instrument selected when using the latest version Datastream for
Office (2.1 Build 150)
• More ‘recent searches’ for returning to previous searches and explorer selections
This version also operates with Internet Explorer 11.
Enhanced facilities for searching for datatypes

Datatypes for the selected data category can now be quickly searched using the same powerful text
search engine behind the series searching facilities. Typing in text including wild cards – * ? or similar
terms such as EPS for Earnings Per Share will return a set of ordered results, which can then be
filtered based on whether static or time series datatypes are required, and the source.

7 INFOSTREAM • Q1 2014 • © Thomson Reuters 2014 P RODU C T E N HAN C E MENT

In addition, you can use the explorer hierarchies to narrow down the results using the explorer trees
available for the different data categories such as for the estimates provided by I/B/E/S.
Selecting the row in the results will display notes on the datatype, and the explorer tree(s) which
the selected datatype appears in to help you locate similar datatypes (click the link to display the
explorer hierarchy required).


Enhancements to the preview pane

For Economics series, links to the pages on the source websites with the details of the press releases,
have been added for key series in the notes section, along with the dates of the next releases.

The Lipper codes for Mutual Funds and Thomson ONE codes for alternative Equity quotes
(see enhanced list facilities screen below) are also displayed in the preview pane.
Enhanced list facilities

The list creation and editing facilities in Navigator have been extended to enable different quotes for
the same security to be added to My Selections and to create a list using these codes.

Alternatively, if you know the symbol for the quote, this can be typed in directly (even if not displayed
in Navigator) – so the list can be used in other Thomson Reuters interfaces.
Or you can add series with datatypes such as BARC(DY), FTSE100(RI), etc where you need a single
list with series with different datatypes, or Datastream expression codes such as 009E(BARC).
Note: With these extensions to the list building and editing facilities in My Selections, Datastream for
Office users visiting the List Editor from the Excel ribbon, will instead be directed to the My Selection
list facilities in Navigator that now have similar functionality.
Other enhancements in this new release

A range of further enhancements are included within this release, including the following.
The display of the number of series in each explorer node, to help you identify the node most likely
to contain series you need in your analysis, and the option if there are several smaller nodes to
display the series in these together – the text searching, and filters are then available to use with the
combined results set.

An extended set of shortcut keys is now available to move quickly around the explorers. Press:
• E on the keyboard when the focus is on the Navigator page to display the explorer hierarchies
• The arrow keys to move up/down and across the explorer hierarchies
• The first character of the country (for lists of countries that are sorted alphabetically) to move to the
first country in the list, with subsequent presses moving through those countries starting with that
character
• <Enter> to then select the required explorer node
These are in addition to the standard browser keys – Alt left and right arrow keys – to move to
previous page and then forward again to the current page.
When an explorer tree with indentations is exported to Excel, the descriptions are indented to reflect
these indentations in the table, and a column with the indentation levels is included to show the
layout of the series from the source.

The RIC code is now selectable in the preview pane to return this to the latest version of
Datastream for Office,
and more ‘Recent Searches’ for returning to previous searches and explorer selections are held.

Microsoft Withdrawal of Support
for Windows XP and Office 2003 on
8 April 2014
Implications for Datastream
Microsoft has announced that it is withdrawing support for the
Windows XP operating system and Office 2003 suite on 8 April 2014 –
for full details of this announcement please refer to this notice on the
Microsoft website.
As a result of this change, it is likely that any customers still using this software will soon move to a
more recent Windows operating system. Thomson Reuters would like to warn customers that older
Datastream interfaces are not compatible with 64bit environments – so the choice of operating
system may have implications.
Specifically, the DS Windows interface, which was an early precursor of the Datastream Desktop
(Advance) and Datastream Professional products, is a 16bit application and is not compatible with
64bit operating systems. DS Windows has not been removed from support by Thomson Reuters and
there are still existing users of this product.
Thomson Reuters has been actively communicating this announcement to customers over recent
months, but any customers who currently use DS Windows or are unsure whether they are impacted,
are strongly urged to contact their local Thomson Reuters representative or Help Desk, to obtain
further information and advice.

Economics Round-up
The latest release of Navigator includes Next Dates of Release for over
300,000 national source series! Taken from calendars published by the
sources or estimated from past experience, the dates provide the tool for

released on a given day. This is phase one of a two-part release. The second
phase will provide the reference period, ie observation, that is being issued
on the release date. Please see the article on page 7 for more information.
Much progress was made on the projects for expanding coverage of emerging markets of Africa
and CIS. More than 17,500 new series were added, providing more extensive economic profiles
for analysis. Macroeconomic forecasts for the world and regions from Consensus Economics are

Other Additions
Proprietary new indicators released recently include the following:
Economic Policy Uncertainty Indices: This data is compiled by Scott Baker, Nicholas Bloom
and Steven J Davis at www.policyuncertainty.com. They use a variety of sources and newspapers,
and “construct an index from three types of underlying components. One component quantifies
newspaper coverage of policy-related economic uncertainty. A second component reflects the
number of federal tax code provisions set to expire in future years. The third component uses
disagreement among economic forecasters as a proxy for uncertainty.” The 25 series include overall
and per category uncertainty indices for Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, the UK
and the USA. The indices are monthly and generally start in 1985. For the USA there are also two
daily releases. Content Update #6573.
PMIs: The latest Purchasing Managers Indices (PMI) to be introduced by Markit Economics are
the HSBC South African and Blominvest Lebanese PMIs for whole economies. The indicators are
compiled from surveys of about 400 private-sector firms in the manufacturing, mining, services,
construction and retail sectors. The standard PMI methodology is employed, and in line with the
other Markit PMI surveys, there are sub-indices for backlogs of work, employment, input prices, new
export orders, new orders, output, output prices, purchase prices, quantity of purchases, staff costs,
suppliers’ delivery times and stocks of purchases. Content Updates #6708 and #6709.
UK Growth Indicator: The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) recently launched a composite
economic indicator which aggregates output for manufacturing, distribution trades; consumer,
business and professional services sectors. The CBI Growth Indicator is an important barometer

Regional and Global Aggregate
Series Added to Consensus Economics
Historical Database
By Philip Hubbard and Richard Potts, Consensus Economics
Thomson Reuters Datastream and Consensus Economics have jointly

launched a new, Historical Consensus Economics Regional and Global
Aggregate data service on the Datastream platform. The data will be
integrated within the Datastream-Consensus Economics service and
provide users with the ability to utilise Datastream’s full range of analytics
and reporting functionality. Datastream customers wishing to subscribe
to the enhanced Consensus Economics database should contact their
local Thomson Reuters representative or Consensus Economics directly
(contact details below).
Consensus Economics Inc., founded in 1989, is one of the world’s leading international
economic survey organisations. Each month Consensus Economics polls more than
700 economists around the world to obtain their economic forecasts and views for the
principal macroeconomic variables, for more than 90 countries. They then calculate the
‘consensus forecast’, which is defined as the mean average of the forecasts of individual
country panellists, who are generally expert in individual country sectors. A more detailed
explanation of the survey methodology, together with examples is shown at
http://www.consensuseconomics.com/what_are_consensus_forecasts.htm
In addition to the individual country forecasts, Consensus Economics also compiles Regional
and Global Aggregate Forecasts for the following regions: North America, Western Europe,
EU 27, Euro Area, Asia Pacific, Asia excluding Japan, Eastern Europe, Latin America, Other
Countries NIE and World. Using up-to-date market exchange rate weights, the individual
country forecasts are aggregated to calculate the regional current and following year forecasts
for GDP, Inflation and the Current Account (US$ billion). The historical data series of these
consensus forecasts, dating back to September 1998, is now available as part of the PREMIUM
service for subscribers, and it may be found in the CEMAIN data module.

Datastream’s Consensus Economics database is unique because of the inclusion of an
extensive historical datasets of forecasts – some going back to 1989 – allowing users to
examine changes in the economic outlook during critical historical periods across different
regions and countries (see below for a comparison of trends in 2012 GDP forecasts).

Click here to view and edit this chart in Datastream Charting

The data also allows a user to compare how forecasts for a particular region have changed
over a given period (see the North American GDP graph below).

Consensus Forecasts can provide the busy executive with high-quality useful data, adding
credibility to investment decisions.
Update times
The data is updated shortly after the monthly Consensus Economics publications are released,
towards the middle of each month. As with the regular monthly publications, Eastern Europe
and Latin American forecast data is updated a week later.
Further information
For a complete list of series, please see Content Update #6782. Further information

Global Update
Thomson Reuters Private Equity Indices

Thomson Reuters recently announced the launch of two new indices focused on the US
private equity buyout industry. The Thomson Reuters Private Equity Buyout Research Index
and the Thomson Reuters Private Equity Buyout Index will utilise Thomson Reuters’ extensive
knowledge and proprietary data to keep market participants informed about trends in the private
equity universe.
The Thomson Reuters Private Equity Buyout Research Index is a comprehensive and highly
representative indicator of the US private equity industry, while the Thomson Reuters Private
Equity Buyout Index is a ground-breaking investable index replicating the performance of the
Thomson Reuters Private Equity Buyout Research Index using liquid, publicly available assets. The
Thomson Reuters Private Equity Buyout Index allows liquid access to the gross performance of the
private equity industry through index-linked investment products.
“We are pleased to introduce two unparalleled indices for private equity market participants,”
said Stephan Flagel, Head of Indices at Thomson Reuters. “These indices are a prime example of
Thomson Reuters’ commitment to providing market-leading benchmarks and investable indices
in order to represent and provide access to illiquid asset classes such as private equity returns.”

Japan – Topix Euro Hedged Total Return Index

The Topix Euro Hedged Total Return Index is now available on Datastream. The Currency Hedged
Indices are calculated by hedging beginning-of-period balances using rolling one-month forward
contracts. The hedge ratio is the proportion of the portfolio’s currency exposure that is hedged.
Currency Hedged Indices use a hedge ratio of 100%, thus removing the currency risk of the index
portfolio. Note that since only beginning-of-period balances are hedged, the index does not
assume a perfect hedging of currency movements.

Equity Index Constituent Lists Updates – Mandatory Changes
Malaysia – FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Constituent List

With effect from 7 July 2014, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI constituent list (LFBMKLCI) and data
linked to that list excluding security names will become permissionable on Thomson Reuters
Datastream desktop and datafeed products. From 7 July 2014, customers wishing to continue to
access constituent data such as shares, weights and free float will be required to have a direct
end-user agreement with FTSE and the associated data will be available only within the existing
FTSE Bursa Malaysia constituent module which was introduced in July 2011. This module contains
datatypes such as constituent weights, number of shares and classification data. The security
names for the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI constituent list will remain unrestricted and no
licence will be required to access them.
More information can be found on the Extranet.
Switzerland – SIX Swiss Stock Exchange

With effect from 7 July 2014, the SIX Swiss Stock Exchange will introduce end-user licensing
for the Swiss equity index constituent data. All constituent data (apart from constituent security
names) will become restricted and provided in a new pass-through module and clients will be
required to enter into a licence agreement with SIX to receive this data.
This change is a result of the SIX Swiss Stock Exchange no longer licensing constituent-level data
excluding security names for wholesale distribution through vendors to its clients.
More details are available on the Extranet.

the Extranet.
ISOMIC changes
Changes have been made to the ISOMIC datatype to align the definition of the datatype in line
with the corresponding value published by ISO. At present the ISOMIC datatype is a mixture of the
Operating MIC, which was introduced by ISO in 2013, and the Market MIC.

NYSE Amex AX XNYS XASE XASE XNYS
After the changes were made, the ISOMIC reflects only the Operating MIC. This means ISOMIC is
the same for a number of Datastream exchanges. For the Market MIC, clients are advised to utilise
SEGM where available.

ASSET4 Content Optimisation Update
Aligning to corporate materiality
Almost 12 years after the inception of the ASSET4 ESG database, this latest
optimisation is central to our strategy to better meet the changing needs
of our customers for relevant and material ESG data across more markets.
Through extensive analysis of the existing framework, looking at customer
usage stats, data availability and our own in-house research, we believe
that this new framework will bring about significant benefits.
This enhanced framework consists of more than 300 data points that best align to current
sustainability reporting trends and global reporting guidelines. It offers a stronger focus
on objective and comparable quantitative and process-driven data. The greatest area of
simplification has been on the driver dimension, due to feedback we have gathered from our
customers over the years and its limited benefit in understanding company ESG performance.
For the full list of strategic and optimised data points, please see the ASSET4 Strategic
Framework file on the Extranet here. The file contains two worksheets: ‘A4 Strategic’ which
includes all data points that we will continue to collect on starting with FY2014 data onwards, and
‘A4 Optimised’ which we will stop collecting post-FY2013 updates.
Benefits
Company coverage
Our customers have asked for greater coverage in small-mid capitalised companies and emerging
markets. A leaner framework enables us to be more flexible and significantly increase our
coverage. With the optimised framework we expect to double the number of companies we cover
by 2015.
Timeliness
By focusing on the most relevant and reported ESG metrics, we will have significantly improved
timeliness targets. The turnaround time required for processing companies with CSR (Corporate
Social Responsibility) reports will be halved to two to four weeks post-publication.
Data availability
Having data points with very little reported data makes it hard to compare companies. We
selected the most relevant ESG data points where reported data was sufficient, leading to greater
overall data availability.

Quality
The quality of the data is paramount to us, and we will continuously focus on delivering best-in-
class data to our customers. We believe that the new framework can only further benefit our aim
of providing the most accurate and objective ESG data.
Schedule
The new framework will be implemented in the second half of 2014 and changes will gradually
start taking effect throughout the end of this year and into 2015 (applicable only for the FY2014
updates and onwards). All fiscal year 2013 updates will continue to be updated according to the
original framework. An estimated timeline is provided below.
ESTIMATED TIMELINE
April 2014 Initial communication
Q2 2014 Adaptation of ASSET4 sample sheets
Optimised content framework implemented and applied to company

Q3 2014
FY2014 updates onwards
Summary
We are excited about this latest development. The focus, expanded coverage, improved timeliness
of updates, quality and availability – these are all essential ingredients that will drive transparency
and objectivity, so that customers have the confidence to make critical decisions in a complex
world. As we look to the future, we will continue to search and unlock further value from our ESG
content. By working together we aim to provide innovative solutions that will distil oceans of data
into simple answers.

Changes to European Banking Federation Series – Euribor, Euribor
USD, EONIA, EONIA Swap and Eurepo
Thomson Reuters Datastream has been given notice by the European
Banking Federation (EBF) that from 3 March 2014 all its financial
benchmark rates (Euribor, Euribor USD, EONIA, EONIA Swap and
Eurepo) will be subject to a ‘fee for access’.
Important Note: EBF rates that are delayed by over 24 hours will be available to Datastream
customers free of charge.
Datastream will be making the following changes to the EBF series:
• Existing EBF series will be ‘delayed’ by over 24 hours, ensuring all customers have continued access
to the same data series on the same mnemonics, without incurring additional fees. The names will
be amended to indicate the word ‘delayed’ for clarity.
• New ‘duplicate’ EBF series will be created in Datastream with ‘non-delayed’ data. These series will
have new mnemonics and the same depth of historical data. These series will be available to clients
who have been granted access from EBF.
Getting access to fee-liable data

Thomson Reuters has been advised that the EBF subscription model has been tiered to take into
account the relative sizes of global and regional banks as well as smaller corporate users.
Clients are to use the following link to get access to the current data. They need to enter their
Subscriber number and Datastream user ID to ensure access is granted.
