RSRCHXchange Launches ESG Research Stream
The dedicated section on ESG disclosures will include research conducted by independent research specialists and ESG research from banks and brokers.
Financial research platform provider RSRCHXchange has launched a research section on its RSRCH unbundled research platform dedicated to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. The platform allows users to view sample research and pitch documents from different research providers—ranging from specialist researchers to banks—and to review and purchase reports linked to ESG insights.
RSRCHXchange co-founder and co-CEO Vicky Sanders says socially conscious investing is driving an increase in demand from asset managers for ESG research and data, but that firms are struggling to find relevant data.
“There’s a huge appetite for this research, but there’s a big gaping hole in the middle of those that want it and those who produce it,” she says. “Due to that high client demand, we spoke to some of the independent firms who do ESG and sustainable research, and onboarded them onto the platform and created a dedicated space within our platform specifically for this research.”
RSRCHXchange indexes PDFs of research and reviews content to ensure that the RSRCH search engine can identify all ESG reports for platform users.Sanders says ESG research distribution is the hardest to tag because often the metadata is hidden in niche categories that can amount to more than 200 fields.
