Indices

The downloading of the price index of e.g. the S&P 500, AEX or FTSE 100 through Datastream consists of two steps:

  • With the Datastream Navigator you search for the DS Mnemonics of the requested  indices. Copy those identifiers in a column in Excel. Datastream Navigator is accessible at the campus and at home.
  • On the Datateam pc's in the University Library you can download the price indices with Excel add-in of Datastream.
