Would it be helpful to create a new Universe called “Compustat,” listing symbols under computstat coverage, to null out the effect of the differences in the Factset and Compustat universes? (Assuming, as has been mentioned, that Compustat is mostly a subset of Factset). Might be able to minimize at least one variable in the transition to the new data…
The differences between Compustat’s and FactSet’s universe are mostly ADRs and pink sheets. If you use the No OTC Exchange universe as your base, there won’t be that much difference.
The composition of the All Stocks universe relies on Compustat data. From those All Stocks, FactSet and Compustat have different companies in their All Fundamentals universes. There will be some companies in Compustat’s All Fundamentals, especially in the past, that are not in FactSet’s, so it’s not quite true to say that Compustat is a subset of FactSet.
I hope this helps!
I dumped the current factset and compustat “All Fundamentals - USA” universes, and created a list of the factset additions called “FactsetExtraStocks,” and created a public universe called “NoFactSetExtraStocks,” if anyone is interested in playing with that. I found it useful to restore a bit of performance to one of my ports…
Hi sglinski, can not access this NoFactSetExtraStocks, would be interested! TY! Best Regards Andreas
Hi,
I created the universe NoFactSetExtraStocks with public permission, did you try using this universe in your port?
(It uses an inlist of the extra tickers). Anyway I will try to post the inlist below:
Note that this is a list of current differences…

As Yuval mentioned, this is only relevant if you need to include OTC stocks in your models. Otherwise, simply having a “!Universe(OTC)” criterion in your system will exclude 1739 of these 1787 stocks.
thank you very much.
I get it know, I exclude OTCs.
once again thank you, !Universe(OTC) on the buy rule added about 2% performance to my model, even I have choosen the no OTC Universe before adding !Universe(OTC). Not sure why this happens, any ideas?
A single stock, WLBC, has been incorrectly included in both the OTC and NOOTC universe between 2010-10-30 and 2011-03-26, during which time its primary exchange was Nasdaq Stock Market. The performance difference must be caused exclusively by excluding WLBC for those 22 weeks. Other than that, the universes are mutually exclusive. I will remove these incorrect entries from the OTC universe.
