Projects we launched in 2022

We noticed this big catch-22 scenario where funds are required to report on SFDR data before companies are required to disclose the key PAIs.That's why we built our free SFDR library to get ahead of these requirements, pulling in top company data across the S&P500 and STOXX 600 indices, all in one place so everyone can gain valuable insights from this data and get ahead of the new reporting requirements.
