Corporate and Sovereign bonds
NEW
YORK, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P
Global Market Intelligence has announced the expansion of its Bond
Reference Data by including 20 additional sustainable descriptive
data fields to complement its existing terms and conditions data.
The new dataset offers an extensive range of key metrics and
information to help investors, banks and corporates better
identify, invest, and assess exposure to bonds earmarked for
sustainable initiatives.
The expanded offering from S&P Global Market Intelligence
covers over 11,000 global Government, Supranational, Agency and
Corporate (GSAC) bonds in over 60 currencies. Providing greater
transparency, the dataset includes details such as key performance
indicators (KPI), sustainability performance targets (SPT), use of
proceeds and sustainable development goals (SDG) alignment. Labels
providing granularity into the type of bond such as environmental,
social or governance along with second party opinion, provide
additional information for effective portfolio creation.
Krishna Shetty, Executive
Director, S&P Global Market Intelligence, said, "We are
seeing significant interest from global clients looking to invest
in sustainability related projects like renewable energy, energy
transition, affordable housing, and healthcare. This new dataset
will provide increased transparency, clarity, and allow clients to
make more informed decisions, meet regulatory requirements and
monitor exposure in this increasingly growing market."
With the addition of sustainability fields, users will be able
to perform instrument screening, portfolio construction, as well as
comply with reporting and labeling for regulations, such as UK
Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) and EU Sustainable
Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), all while mobilizing capital
towards social and sustainability investment.
The expanded Bond Reference Data offering will also complement
existing corporate and sovereign bond pricing service and can be
combined with S&P Global S1's company level ESG scores. S&P
Global Market Intelligence's Bond Reference Data powers intraday
and end of day pricing on 2.9 million active global securities
across GSAC, municipal, and securitized products, with customizable
delivery mechanisms.
