Can I have More Data please? :)

As of Jan 2006, Dow and FTSE are using ICB codes for sectors.

They are better descriptions than the SIC (field 42 of Fundamental message).

When will this be adopted in DTN fundamental data?

Thank you

The data team is researching this with the appropriate departments. When I hear back I will let you know.

The preliminary answer I am getting is that we are not at this time planning on making this change. I am awaiting word back on Tuesday when some of the data team return from vacation for official verification.

But, at this point, all information I have found does not appear to be pointing towards ICB. I will let you know what I find out Tuesday.
