JADE is a database containing information on over 400,000 Japanese companies. The CD-ROM contains information on 110,000 companies, the internet version 400,000.
A company report typically includes: contact information, activity details, credit score, detailed balance sheet and profit and loss account (with notes), ratios, weekly and monthly pricing series, details of the chief executive, trading banks and the number of shareholders or investors. In addition to the existing ratios you can also create your own that you can display in the reports and also use in your searches and analyses.
Each company is part of a default peer group based on its activity codes; integral graphs illustrate its position in this peer group.
The software lets you search for companies that comply with your own criteria. You can combine as many conditions as you like and you can use full Boolean logic (and, or, not). When you have identified a group of companies you can compare them against each other and create both graphs and tables. You can also analyse the results of your search in a simple matrix plotting the companies by the criteria of your choice. For example, you can view a group of companies by region and activity and plot the results graphically. Information can be downloaded into most packages.
Further features include: an Addin function that facilitates the analysis of "live" data from JADE within Excel/Access and BvD’s matching software, which allows you to compare your own database records with those that also occur in JADE and update or enhance your data accordingly.
As the software on JADE is so flexible you can use it for many different research projects including: detailed financial analysis and credit risk assessment, corporate finance, venture capital and M&A research, sales and marketing including feasibility assessment and generating data for campaigns plus academic study and teaching.
