Brief description of the data offering
HIP Impact Ratings score and rank investments using material metrics from operational outcomes, products and services, and management practices.
HIP Impact Ratings score and rank investments using material metrics from operational outcomes, products and services, and management practices.
Specifically, HIP organises data and constructs and analyses 330+ metrics across issuers of stocks and bonds to assess the impact and risk for any investment. All ratings are on a 0-100 scale where 0 is net-negative impact (more extractive) and 100 is net-positive (more generative).
An analysis of the data which HIP gathers and licenses in combination against the HIP Pillars and their components allows HIP Investor to provide analytic products on several levels of granularity: metrics, pillars, and an overall ESG score.
Higher HIP ratings not only provide information on who is providing more positive impact, but they also tend to correlate with higher returns and lower risk. Lower ratings tend to generate lower returns, more volatility, and less impact.
HIP provides issuers with Impact Reports and ESG Ratings.
- Executive Summary style reports can be 1-2 pages.
- In-depth, comprehensive reports of approximately 16 pages can be useful for investors' due diligence, annual reporting, and new security issuances.
Where and how do you source your data?
The data used to generate HIP Ratings is collected through publicly available resources, as well as through non-public subscription databases. To be considered for inclusion in a sector's scorecard, a data source must meet the following three requirements:
- Values must be a quantitative metric of an issuer's impact on people, planet, or trust.
- There must be a direct relationship between the data point and the future risk potential of a bond issuer at any point across the full duration of the bond.
- Data set must deliver significant coverage across the peer universe, providing a performance range and appropriate context for data verification and comparison.
In sourcing data, HIP strives to acquire the most quantitative, comparable, and comprehensive metrics according to these criteria that apply to each given sector.
HIP sources data from dozens of sources, including:
- Issuers and obligors of muni bonds
- Government databases
- Non-profit datasets
- For-profit databases
- Academic research
HIP sources, cleans, quality-checks, and tests the distributions of the results. As HIP produces, publishes, and licenses Ratings, our analysts are very attentive to quality, accuracy, and analytical rigor.
