News Dataset - Searching for Press Releases in Newswires

Avantis aggregates 40+ news sources, including major press release services and investment site articles, delivering real-time news as it is published.  This dataset contains press releases and articles from within the last 90 days only.  For more historical press release searching, see STRATEGY: Searching Historical SEDAR and SEC Press Releases (Combined)

Key Features of Avantis News:

  • Many press releases appear on newswires days or weeks before they are filed on SEDAR or SEC.

  • Some press releases are never filed on SEDAR or SEC because they are not considered material.

  • Both categories of press releases remain searchable in Avantis' News section for 90 days.

    • During this period, most will be filed on SEDAR or SEC.

    • After 90 days, press releases not filed on SEDAR or EDGAR are removed from the News section.

How to Search News Releases in Avantis
