紐約--(美國商業資訊)--世界領先的投資決策輔助工具提供商MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MSCI)今日宣佈，全球知名的專業投資金融資料和分析軟體提供商FactSet Research Systems(NYSE: FDS | NASDAQ: FDS)，已將MSCI ESG Research資料和評級系統與FactSet平臺整合並提供使用。
FactSet用戶首次可以在其分析中透過FactSet資產組合分析、普遍篩查、資料下載以及微軟 Office的整合，來充分利用MSCI ESG Research的資料。用戶可以藉此在投資過程中全程整合ESG因素，包括資產組合的建立和最佳化、回溯測試以及業績和風險屬性。
FactSet所整合的MSCI ESG Research分析和評級系統包含三個不同的工具：
1. MSCI ESG 無形價值評估(IVA)涉及公司環境和社會風險因素的評級和分析，這些分析將揭示傳統分析無法掌握而與ESG相關的投資風險或機會。
2. MSCI ESG衝擊監測用於分析和監測「ESG爭議」及違反國際公約之舉，包括聯合國全球契約(UN Global Compact)在內。
3. MSCI ESG 商業關聯篩選研究允許投資人篩選出在蘇丹和伊朗等國從事香煙、武器銷售等業務或從事違反宗教禁令業務的公司。
FactSet產品開發副總裁Patrick Locke表示，「為符合責任投資原則(PRI)中的ESG要求，資產經理人和機構投資人需要將ESG資訊與其投資進程進行整合，而且這一需求正逐漸增加。我們很高興能為用戶提供MSCI的一整套ESG研究、分析和評級工具。」
指數和MSCI ESG Research負責人Remy Briand補充說，「機構投資人對在投資過程中有效整合ESG的需求正不斷增加，而MSCI ESG Research的目標是幫助資產經理人滿足他們的這些需求。我們的服務廣泛，涵蓋全球市場，與此同時，我們還提供跨資產類別的深入研究。在我們的分析和評級工具與FactSet整合之後，全球資產經理人和資產所有人就能對各資產類別組合中與ESG相關的投資風險和機會有更佳的理解。」
