Abstract

Sustainability has been making an impact across many industries, and within Financial Services, it has changed the methods and motives in which investors grow their wealth. The data and analytics surrounding sustainable development goals have been key to providing the right information to determine the effects, whether they be risks or opportunities, of an investment, and whether it aligns to an investor’s sustainability objective. As the scope of information available and the methodologies for assessing, qualifying and using this data continues to evolve, the pre- and post-trade world is working towards integrating this notion into their business strategies and aligning to new adviser and investor values. Using examples in Fixed Income from Beyond Ratings delivered via The Yield Book, London Stock Exchange Group, this paper will discuss some of the sustainable data available within financial services, how effective qualitative and quantitative data elements are in this analysis, and how the pre- and post-trade communities have been adopting these data elements into their processes.
