Helping your funds meet sustainability compliance and governance

We help you stay in front of sustainability regulation by giving you access to data so you can test your fund's adherence tp ESG and climate standards at a portfolio, sector and security level.

We do this by providing data to help you assess new funds against a range of sustainability criteria that include ESG and climate risks. This insight can also be used to help you validate if changes to fund objectives or guidelines that relate to sustainability are feeing through into the composition of a fund.

It means you can robustly test assumptions on product design before implementing any final changes or adjustments to you rprospectus for sustainability compliance.

Through our depositary team, we can run your fund's portfolio data through a range of different modules to help you stay in front of governance relating to sustainable investment.
