Industry criteria options

  • Business Summary Keywords: keyword search in companies’ business description (in English only, supports or/and operators and quotation marks for string search).
  • Sector: filter by sector/industry using Infront Analytics classification.
  • NAICS Sector: filter by sector/industry using NAICS classification.
  • FactSet Sector: filter by sector/industry using factSet classification.
  • SIC Sector: filter by sector/industry using SIC classification.
  • Include secondary sectors: option to be checked when using NAICS or SIC to include companies for which the specified sector/industry is not the primary activity of business.


How criteria are applied?

Make sure to click the green check box to validate your Business Summary Keywords criteria. Other selected industry criteria are immediately applied in the Screen Results panel.

The number of company matches is instantly shown for each filter. If no industry criteria are defined, the search is run on the entire universe of active companies.
