Sustainable Investing

Sustainability in the fund industry

As demand for sustainability grows, we recognize the importance of transparent, accurate, and comparable Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) data and analytics for the asset management industry.

Regulation can be a powerful force in driving sustainable outcomes, and Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) along with EU Taxonomy is intended to offer investors clear comparisons around sustainable investments and encourage sustainable investing.

Enhanced disclosure obligations required by SFDR will help support the transition to a sustainable economy while also increasing transparency. 

Construct your portfolio using our Responsible Investing Attributes which classifies funds that include sustainable investing, socially responsible investing (SRI) and impact investing in the screening process. 

Explore the investment funds with strong ESG practises and integrate ESG factors into portfolio analysis, equity research, screening, or quantitative analysis.

Unlock value by building sustainability into your investment strategy and integrating ESG criteria into your investment decisions. 

Fact Sheet
