If a security is not available in the Canopy Database, the security can be imported through Engine. Please note there is a charge of USD 10 per security if the Public Security component is not currently included in your Canopy subscription.

To import a new security:

  1. Click on ‘Security Data Import’ on the left-hand menu

  2. Select the type of security to be imported (we are using a bond import as an example here)

  3. Input the ISIN

  4. Click on Get Bloomberg Info. Wait for the security to be downloaded. This may take a few minutes.
