FE fundinfo has partnered with Matter to help improve industry access to sustainability fund-level data.
The new partnership integrates FE fundinfo’s full portfolio holdings database with Matter’s sustainability data, both of which will be delivered through FE fundinfo’s Data Feed Portal and will ensure that users of the portal can unlock and access ESG and sustainability fund-level metrics provided by Matter.
Matter’s data points align with regulatory definitions and provide a broad overview of sustainability and impact metrics. This includes data on funds’ emissions and climate commitments, SFDR and EU Taxonomy insights as well as Sustainability Development Goals.
The duo said the partnership “aims to empower distributors, platforms and investors” with first-hand insights into the sustainability data dimensions of their investment portfolios and will “transform” the existing landscape for ESG reporting fund-level data.
FE fundinfo added that fund-level data can also be used for additional triangulation of other ESG data providers and for client-facing reporting solutions to highlight fund level exposure to main market driving criteria.
Gianina Thalmann, ESG strategic sales manager at FE fundinfo, said: “By combining our fund database with Matter’s rich sustainability data, we are providing our clients with a powerful tool to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable finance. This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that drive a positive impact.”
Thalmann said Matter’s data-centric approach “ensures that users can freely choose and combine data fields from a broad range of indicators, promoting flexibility and customisation to meet the needs of each client.”
Niels Fibaek-Jensen, CEO of Matter, added: “This partnership is 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 sustainability finance. It follows naturally from our goal of ensuring that sustainability information is being made available wherever investors make financial decisions.”
