Live fundamental data and watchlists across South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, mainland China, and U.S.-listed Chinese ADRs — at 1-2% of Bloomberg Terminal cost.
Asian equity coverage at most Western funds is uneven. Bloomberg covers everything but charges $24,000+/year per seat. Wind Information dominates onshore China at $5,000+/year with a Chinese-language UI most Western analysts can’t operate. The result: Asia-fund analysts pay enterprise prices for tools that bundle 50 features they don’t use, while a research associate building a watchlist needs structured per-stock pulls that bill by the record.
This page tracks live picks from the NexGenData Asian-market actors — each priced per stock pulled, with no monthly seat fees. The data spans fundamentals, foreign-ownership rooms, share-class structures, and sector taxonomies that pure price-quote scrapers miss.

Frequently asked questions
Which markets does this cover?
The watchlist aggregates picks from 6 major Asian exchanges: South Korea (KOSPI/KOSDAQ), Taiwan (TWSE), Hong Kong (HKEX/Hang Seng), Japan (TSE Nikkei), mainland China (Shanghai STAR Market, Shenzhen ChiNext, Beijing Stock Exchange via Eastmoney), and U.S.-listed Chinese ADRs. Coverage of ~3,500+ liquid Asian equities total.
How is this different from Bloomberg Terminal?
Bloomberg Terminal is $24,000+/year per seat and gives you streaming everything. NexGenData’s per-market actors are pay-per-result at $0.05-$0.25 per stock pulled — typically 1/100th of Bloomberg’s cost for batch analysis. You don’t get real-time streaming; you get on-demand structured pulls. Right tool for screen-and-batch workflows, wrong tool for tick-data trading.
What’s Wind Information and why is it relevant?
Wind (万得) is the dominant Chinese institutional data provider, used by virtually every onshore China fund. It’s $5,000+/year per seat with Chinese-language UI. Western analysts covering China rarely have access. Eastmoney + Shanghai/Shenzhen/Beijing actors give Western buyers equivalent fundamental data at a fraction of the cost, in English.
Are the prices real-time?
Prices update on each actor run, typically with 1-3 minute delay versus exchange book. For real-time market-data feeds you need a direct exchange connection (Reuters, Refinitiv, or local exchange APIs). For fundamental analysis, screening, and overnight model refreshes, the delay is irrelevant.
Can I pull all 3,500 stocks in one run?
Yes — each actor supports a ‘full universe’ mode that paginates through every listed name on the exchange. A full KOSPI + KOSDAQ pull is ~2,300 stocks at $0.02-0.05 each, so $50-115 per refresh. Most institutional buyers run this weekly. Per-stock pricing makes targeted pulls (single watchlist of 30-50 names) much cheaper than Bloomberg/Refinitiv enterprise tiers.
Does it include foreign ownership data?
Korea (KOSPI) and Vietnam (HOSE) actors include foreign-ownership-room data, which is critical for institutional buyers managing FII-limit-aware mandates. Japan TSE includes the foreign-shareholder ratio. The mainland China actors do not (data is restricted onshore).
What about real-time alerts?
Actors run on demand or on schedule. Pair with a webhook destination (Slack, Discord, custom endpoint) for alert-style workflows: ‘Notify me when any KOSPI stock with foreign-ownership-room < 5% changes by ±3% intraday.' Configurable via the Apify webhook integration.
