Enable deeper analytical insights using our enhanced global classification schema that is applied to entities who issue debt as well as equity. Sector granularity is critical to ensure decisions are informed by the core business of the issuing company, which can differ from that of the parent.
When applied to investment and risk-management use cases, robust sector classification allows for more precise peer comparison on a like-for-like basis. Index and sustainable finance benchmarking are likewise enhanced by high quality sector data.
