Investment fund data and technology firm FE fundinfo has partnered with sustainability and impact data provider Matter to improve industry access to sustainability fund-level data.
Clients will be able to integrate Matter’s sustainability and impact data with FE fundinfo’s financial data, delivered through FE fundinfo’s Data Feed Portal.
Matter provides a broad overview of sustainability and impact metrics, such as data on fund emissions and climate commitments, insights into SFDR and EU Taxonomy, and alignment with sustainable development goals.
Combined with FE fundinfo’s financial data, distributors, platforms and investors will be able to access greater transparency and insights into the sustainability data dimensions of their investment portfolios. The initiative will also improve fund-level data reporting for distributors and platforms, the firms say.
Users will benefit from a diverse range of indicators, which aim to enable better decision making. Fund-level data can be used for triangulation of other ESG data providers and client-facing reporting solutions, the companies explain, outlining fund-level exposure to main market-riving criteria.
Gianina Thalmann, ESG strategic sales manager at FE fundinfo, says: “We are providing our clients with a powerful tool to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable finance.
“Matter's data-centric approach — incorporated into FE fundinfo’s already robust systems — ensures that users can freely choose and combine data fields from a broad range of indicators, promoting flexibility and customisation to meet the unique needs of each client.”
Niels Fibæk-Jensen, CEO and co-founder of Matter, comments: “This partnership is a testament to the shared commitment of FE fundinfo and Matter to enhance transparency, accountability, and adherence to reporting standards and regulations in the realm of sustainable finance.
“It follows naturally from our goal of ensuring that sustainability information is being made available wherever investors make financial decisions. We are empowering investors to not only understand the real-world impact of their portfolios but also to contribute to a sustainable and responsible future."
