Msci Esg Rating
From natural resource scarcity to changing governance standards, from global workforce management to the evolving regulatory landscape, ESG factors can impact the long-term risk and return profile of investment portfolios. MSCI ESG Ratings help investors to understand ESG-driven risk and opportunities and integrate these factors into the portfolio construction and management process.
Our global team of 140 experienced research analysts assesses thousands of data points across 34 ESG issues, focusing on the intersection between a company’s core business and the industry issues that can create significant financial risks and opportunities for the company. Companies are rated on a AAA-CCC scale relative to the standards and performance of their industry peers.
Msci Esg Governance Metrics
As long-term institutional investors, asset owners often look to managers to more fully assess governance-related risks. With the August 2014 acquisition of leading corporate governance research and analysis provider GMI Ratings, governance expertise is now integrated within MSCI’s global ESG team. Our analysts provide critical insight into timely corporate events, including analysis of potential governance concerns associated with high profile IPOs like Facebook and Alibaba.
MSCI’s unique corporate governance research process examines company events and corporate behavior as well as governance structure, providing data and analysis through MSCI ESG GovernanceMetrics, specifically:
- 96 governance metrics organized into four pillars (Board, Pay, Ownership and Control, Accounting)
- Coverage of 6,000+ global companies
- Comprehensive data on 65,000 corporate directors and officers
- 13+ years of shareholder proposals and meeting results data
Corporate governance can help identify risk associated with lax oversight, excessive pay, corporate misconduct and accounting irregularities. Through a combination of data, analysis, ratings and other tools, GovernanceMetrics is designed to enable institutional investors to both conduct bottom-up research on individual securities and to assess governance risk across an entire portfolio.
Msci Esg Screening & Carbon Tools
Many asset owners and managers are subject to guidelines that restrict investments or place thresholds on companies involved in certain lines of business, including federal and state sanctions on companies with operations in countries such as Sudan and Iran. Our screening research enables institutional investors to satisfy client investment guidelines, implement client mandates, and manage potential ESG portfolio risks.
We also offer a comprehensive suite of tools and solutions designed to help institutional investors understand portfolio exposure to carbon asset risk and implement fossil fuel exclusion, low carbon or thematic investment strategies.
