纽约--(美国商业资讯)--世界领先的投资决策支持工具提供商MSCI Inc. (NYSE:MSCI)今日宣布，全球知名的专业投资金融数据和分析软件提供商FactSet Research Systems(NYSE: FDS | NASDAQ: FDS)已将MSCI ESG Research数据和评级系统与FactSet平台整合并对外交付使用。
FactSet用户首次可以在其分析中通过FactSet资产组合分析、普遍筛查、数据下载以及微软 Office整合来充分利用MSCI ESG Research的数据。用户可以藉此在投资过程中全程整合ESG因素，包括资产组合构建和优化、回溯测试以及业绩和风险归因。
FactSet所整合的MSCI ESG Research分析和评级系统包含三个不同的工具：
1. MSCI ESG 无形价值评估(IVA)涉及公司环境和社会风险因素的评级和分析，这些分析将揭示传统分析无法捕获的与ESG相关的投资风险或机遇。
2. MSCI ESG冲击监测用于分析和监测"ESG争议"以及对包括联合国全球契约(UN Global Compact)在内的国际公约的违反。
3. MSCI ESG 商业关联筛选研究允许投资者筛选出在苏丹和伊朗等国从事香烟、武器销售等业务或从事违反宗教禁令业务的公司。
FactSet产品开发副总裁Patrick Locke表示，"为符合责任投资原则(PRI)中的ESG要求，资产经理和机构投资者需要将ESG信息与其投资进程进行整合，而且这一需求正逐渐加大。我们很高兴能为用户提供MSCI的一整套ESG研究、分析和评级工具。"
指数和MSCI ESG Research负责人Remy Briand补充说，"机构投资者对在投资过程中有效整合ESG的需求正不断增加，而MSCI ESG Research的目标是帮助资产管理人满足他们的这些需求。我们的服务涵盖面广，覆盖全球市场，与此同时，我们还提供跨资产类别的深度研究。在我们的分析和评级工具与FactSet整合之后，全球资产管理人和资产所有人就可以更好地理解各资产类别组合中与ESG相关的投资风险和机遇。"
