Expands fixed income ESG coverage to 3+ million
instruments
Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE), a leading global
provider of data, technology and market infrastructure, today
announced that it launched Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) data coverage on more than 1.5 million mortgage-backed
securities, increasing its total fixed income coverage to over 3
million instruments. ICE’s mortgage-backed securities data set
accounts for approximately 95% of all outstanding securitized real
estate loan volume in the U.S.
ICE’s ESG Data solution includes granular, geospatially linked
data for residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), agency
pools, credit risk transfer pools and commercial mortgage-backed
securities (CMBS). The solution provides CUSIP-linked climate and
socioeconomic data for single-family, multi-family and commercial
mortgage-related securities. It builds connections among disparate
data sets to probabilistically link records across the U.S.
residential and commercial real estate market, allowing investors
to compare assets across portfolios and to choose securities that
match their investment strategies.
“Investors and market participants have struggled to effectively
incorporate ESG considerations for residential and commercial
mortgage-backed securities,” said Elizabeth King, President of ESG
and Chief Regulatory Officer at ICE. “ICE’s solution provides
high-quality and granular data that covers various fixed income
sub-asset classes. This data allows investors and other market
participants to consider the full environmental and social picture
when considering a new security or analyzing their current
portfolio.”
In November 2021, ICE announced that its ESG data offering had
expanded to include 2 million fixed income securities. With the
addition of the ESG data for mortgage-backed securities, this
number now exceeds 3.5 million securities and will continue to
grow. The data set allows market participants to enhance their
global equity and fixed income analysis by incorporating
ESG-related metrics into their research and due diligence process.
Customers have already begun incorporating ICE’s mortgage-backed
security ESG metrics into their investment decisions and risk
management process.
ICE’s ESG Data is sourced directly from corporate disclosures
and other third-party sources. It is available in a user friendly,
customizable dashboard, as well as via market standard feeds, and
provides detailed access into the controversy metrics and ESG
attributes about specific companies, securities and issuers. To
