Business Wire
MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MSCI), a leading provider of investment decision
support tools worldwide, announced today that FactSet Research
Systems, (NYSE: FDS | NASDAQ: FDS), a world-recognized provider of
financial data and analytical software for investment
professionals, has integrated and made available MSCI ESG Research
data and ratings on the FactSet platform.
For the first time, FactSet clients can now fully leverage MSCI
ESG Research data in their analysis through FactSet Portfolio
Analysis, Universal Screening, Data Downloading, and MS Office
integration. This gives users the ability to include ESG factors
throughout their investment process including portfolio
construction and optimization, back-testing, and performance and
risk attribution.
MSCI ESG Research analysis and ratings in FactSet includes
three separate approaches:
1. MSCI ESG Intangible Value Assessment (IVA)
includes ratings and analysis of a company's management of
environmental and social risk factors that can reveal ESG-driven
investment risks or opportunities that may not be captured by
conventional analysis.
2. MSCI ESG Impact Monitor analyzes and monitors
‘ESG controversies’ and violations of global norms such as the UN
Global Compact.
3. MSCI ESG Business Involvement Screening
Research allows investors to screen out companies involved in
countries such as Sudan and Iran, with activities such as tobacco
or weapons, or that violate religious mandates.
Patrick Locke, Vice President, FactSet Product Development said,
“There is growing demand from asset managers and institutional
investors to integrate ESG information into the investment process
to meet ESG requirements set by the Principles of Responsible
Investment (PRI). We are pleased to offer MSCI’s suite of ESG
research, analysis and ratings tools to our users.”
Remy Briand, Head of Index and MSCI ESG Research added, “The
goal of MSCI ESG Research is to assist asset managers in meeting
the growing institutional need for effective ESG integration in the
investment process. We provide broad and global coverage as well as
in-depth research across asset classes. Following the integration
of our analysis and ratings into FactSet global asset managers and
asset owners can now better understand the ESG-driven investment
risks and opportunities across broad and multi-asset class
portfolios.”
