Hi Anshul, CUSIP's are owned by S&P so they aren't really public. Anyhow, you wont want to use those to backtest as they are driven by the underlying company's name (imagine what happens to a CUSIP when there is any M&A activity). MSCI Barra & S&P's Compustat's Point-In-Time ID's are built for this type of backtesting. If you have access to BBID's that would be a decent alternative but looking for an open source identifier system is going to be tough. Good luck sir. ~James On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 7:45 AM, Anshul Pandey <anshul.bits at gmail.com> wrote:
Hi All,
I am moving some of my backtesting logics to CUSIP from tickers.
How do I download the CUSIP number of US stocks?
I know S&P has a paid subscription, but I read that CUSIP is publicly
available at a few resources.
Any suggestions are highly welcome.
Thanks
Anshul
