For US market, a good source of equity data is from CRSP of University of Chicago.  The data is historical only and well cleaned. It costs about 20-30k per year.
For global equity data, bloomberg and reuters are two good sources.

I'm looking for a reliable vendor of equity data, one that also
provides information regarding corporate actions (dividends, splits,
ex-dates, etc). Anyone know of any good sources? R. Vince
