FinancialQUEST 2.0 is the NEEDS ad-hoc instant access data download service for clients who need to access accurate, up-to-date financial information with ease. FinancialQUEST 2.0 offers unparalleled access to Japanese Corporate Financial, Equities market and Macroeconomic data through direct access to the NEEDS Databanks, as well as improved usability, a range of different search options, and quick download & integration with MS Excel.

FinancialQUEST 2.0 is very popular with fund managers because of its range of detailed data, its flexibility, its ease of use, the speed of update, and its length of data history.
The ‘Easy Search’ option allows you to quickly find the data that you need. Nikkei has improved the usability of FinancialQUEST 2.0; databases are structured into Corporate Information, Stock & Debenture, Commodities and Economics to provide easy navigation and to ensure that you find the data you need as quickly as possible. The text search function enables you to select the companies and data attributes that you are looking for. Searching for a whole list of companies is easier too, you can highlight multiple companies or entire industrial sectors with search conditions and data screening. The detailed search function allows you to control and filter exact criteria, turning FinancialQUEST into one of the most powerful data search applications available and enabling you to combine data from separate NEEDS databases, for instance corporate fundamentals analysis with quantitative equity analysis. Search conditions can now be saved enabling you to repeat the same search task without re-selecting the search conditions. In the detailed search option, you also have the ability to choose the layout of the data you receive, enabling you to align the data download to your existing spreadsheets, saving you valuable time. The MS Excel export option enables you to easily integrate the data into your existing spreadsheets; further increasing efficiency. FinancialQUEST 2.0 software runs inside Internet Explorer using the latest .NET technology. No installation or specialised IT infrastructure is required and the software runs well on corporate LAN environments. Because FinancialQUEST is web based, it can be accessed from anywhere in the world, allowing access to the data you need while on the move.
