Hi,
I got the data of all loans in the EU in 2020 from Excel Screener, but I need to match with RIC to find the firms' financial data and also match with my current list of firms to know if they also issue a loan this year.
Here is what I got at the moment:
- My SDC Loan file, I have SDC Deal Number, PermID, SEDOL, 6 digit CUSIP, Issuer/Borrower Company ID, TICKER. It contains around 3700 loans.
Only 6 digit CUSIP, Issuer/Borrower Company ID, SDC Deal Number have full value and the rest are missing a lot of value.
- My EU Firm List, I have PERMID, ISIN, SEDOL, CUSIPExtended, RIC - Full value. This contains around 9000 firms. I download using Eikon Data API
- I use PermID, SEDOL, 6-digit-CUSIP to match from the SDC Loan database to my firm list, but I'm not sure how many firms I could match since none is a full list.
Form using PERMID, I can match 480, CUSIPExtend (I use first 6 value) 474, 'SEDOL' 512
I combine all and got 964.
I hope I could receive some advice on this.
