Optimize fund sourcing and fundraising with enhanced ESG disclosures

The alternative asset industry’s #1 source of ESG governance disclosure data is undergoing a significant expansion. Drawing from leading private market ESG disclosure frameworks, including PRI and ILPA DDQs, our latest update makes it easier than ever before to understand investor and fund manager sustainability practices.

We're thrilled to announce the addition of more than 40 new management indicators of ESG disclosures to give you a total of 76 indicators for fund managers and 53 for investors.

Updates to GP-level data

  • Fund manager profiles (37 -> 76 indicators) – we’re expanding fund manager ESG profiles to include KPIs that help you seamlessly conduct manager sourcing and due diligence across key areas. These include GHG emissions, internal operations (policies and training), investment strategy (due diligence and stewardship), and diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI).

  • Fund profiles – connect the GP management indicators to their underlying funds to understand how ESG is embedded into their investment policies and practices (excluding any pertaining to real estate and infrastructure).

Updates to LP-level data:

  • Investor profiles (12 ->57 indicators) – bolster your fundraising with even more information about the sustainability commitments and preferences of LPs. We’re expanding investor ESG management indicators to help fund managers pitch by providing detailed disclosure info on GHG emissions, internal operations (policies and training), investment strategy (due diligence and stewardship), and diversity, equity, & inclusion (DEI).
