TITLON – Financial data for Norwegian academic institutions

The database contains data back to 1980. In addition to equities and funds, there is data on indices, bonds and derivatives. The database contains both unadjusted and fully adjusted prices and factors. 

The data base also contains high quality accounting data. The accounting data is matched with both company and security identification codes, and so can easily be matched with any other security in the database. In addition, based on the accounting data, fama french factors and momentum is available. The accounting data includes foreding companies listed on Oslo Stock Exchange.

Access to TITLON requires that your institution is a member. You will find the list of members at the bottom of this page.

Note that for the moment, the data under the Oslo Stock Exhange tab ends when Euronext took over. Newer data from Oslo can be fetched under the Euronext/Oslo tabs. 

We are still in the process of integrating Euronext into our systems, so accouting data and factors for Oslo Stock Exhange ends in 2020. We will however update this information as soon as possible. The data under the Oslo Stock Exhange tab will then be appended with Euronext data and updated accounting data and factors.

Support

This is a “dugnadsprosjekt”, so we have very limited resources to support. You will find the technical reference from Oslo Stock Exchange here. Then you can use sound jugdement to decide what the data represents.

You can send a mail to titlon@uit.no with heading SUPPORT, and a responsible will eventually perhaps look at it. However, it is quicker and better that you spend a few minutes contemplating on a solution, and preferably you will find the answer yourself.
