The following is a detailed breakdown of what is available for each data set.

EDGAR

EDGAR is the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval System established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide real-time electronic access to thousands of SEC documents, including 10-Ks, 10-Qs, and proxy materials. In all, there are over 200 types of SEC filings on FactSet’s EDGAR system.

Scope and Coverage

SEDAR

The System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) is Canada’s financial filing system for public companies and mutual funds and is managed by CDS Inc., a subsidiary of the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited. SEDAR provides many of the same documents that must legally be filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators, as well as many documents that may be filed with Canadian exchanges (market centers). Additionally, some third parties who are involved in public company transactions such as takeover bids or proxy contests may also be required to file.

Filing with SEDAR began in January 1997, and is now mandatory for most reporting issuers in Canada. SEDAR information is broadcast in real-time by CDS Inc. via SCRIBE (System for Canadian Real-time Information Broadcast Electronically).
