Brief description of the data offering
In almost every global market, securities regulators and industry codes of best practice identify ESG and stewardship as a fiduciary responsibility. Key regulatory initiatives are driving these stewardship responsibilities, requiring greater transparency and higher levels of public reporting. Gaining an understanding of how your fund is impacted by these developments is an important first step to meeting your fiduciary objectives.
Minerva’s ESG rating measures the alignment of investment portfolios against global corporate governance and sustainability best practices. The rating works not only at the fund level, but also cascades down to individual holdings, including sovereign bonds.
Minerva’s philosophy is to understand the ESG approach by issuers, with emphasis on their disclosure of Sustainability, Governance, Remuneration, and, as a result, provide a Sustainable Fund Rating.
Using verifiable public documents only, Minerva’s expert analysts scrutinise public disclosures against more than 1,100 indicators every year, ahead of each AGM. This approach enables Minerva to provide the timeliest data possible.
Each Fund is attributed an overall score ranging from A to F (where A stands for best-in-class), representing the cumulative assessment of the governance performance of its holdings.
Where and how do you source your data?
Minerva uses publicly disclosed information provided by the companies as part of their regulatory obligations, e.g., Listing Rules. These sources include:
- Annual reports and accounts
- Proxy statements
- Company websites
- Regulatory news announcements
- Sustainability/integrated reports
