INVESTMENT BOND
PORTFOLIO MONITORING
Better review of sustainability-labelled bonds, with ongoing monitoring and visibility of sustainability claims
Manulife Investment Management
ESGpedia Portfolio Monitoring module enables global wealth and asset management segment of Manulife Financial Corporation, Manulife Investment Management, to monitor the underlying quality of sustainable investments on an ongoing basis.
The asset management industry faces a lack of forward-looking disclosure, real-time data, and common taxonomy in sustainability-labeled bonds including but not limited to Green, Social, Sustainability, and Sustainability-linked bond. Data is fragmented and processes of sustainability assessments, monitoring, and servicing, are highly manual and labour-intensive, hindering effective sustainable investments decisions.
ESGpedia serves as a central ESG registry for the financial industry. Manulife Investment Management leverages ESG data and digital tools on ESGpedia for ongoing monitoring of investments in sustainability labelled bonds, through visibility of the underlying certifications on the asset and/ or portfolio level by the issuers. Customers are also able to access ongoing data from authorised counterparts via data consent management on ESGpedia, thus effectively enabling an enhanced digitalised workflow for the sustainability-labelled bonds investment monitoring process.
