We are constantly doing research on companies that come to our attention – -scouring lists, IPO filings, M&A activity are all part of the ever-changing landscape. In order to achieve & maintain a set of 5,000 companies, as mergers happen, we need to find new candidate companies. It is never a static process.

During Q4, we added 66 companies with USA, Canada, Taiwan and UK among the leading countries. Financial Services, Technology and Retailers/Wholesalers were the leading industries for this new group.
