I have been using Bhodi for the past 3-6 months, can't remember exactly
when I started. I was paying almost $40 per month for data, and I paid
only just over $400 for Bhodi (I think I got it during a special offer).
So if I get 12 months data I am in front. The service is good, with the
early data available at about 5:30pm AEST. When I have needed help
especially with setting up the download software their response was
quick and helpful. It suits me is all I can say. The data itself seems
ok with no more and no less errors than any other data supplier I have
used. They do update for splits etc I think, although I have had to do
this myself sometimes.
The 5 digit indices are named like 72550, with an accumulating index
file named 72550A. I believe these are related to the GICS groupings.
The 'A' is a cumulative value of the index as if you had invested in it
at the beginning I think. I don't actually use them for anything, they
just get downloaded with the indices.
