How to reference financial data

Using the Harvard Style a reference for financial data taken from an electronic resource should follow the format of:

Author (Year of publication or the current year for data that is frequently updated) Descriptive title of the data [online]. Available from: URL or name of database [Accessed: date the data was accessed]

Reference list example: Thomson Reuters (2010) FTSE100 daily price index 2005-2010. Available from: Datastream. [Accessed: 18/11/2010]

In-text example: (Thomson Reuters 2010)
