Northern Trust & Equity Data Science Create ESG Tool
Northern Trust and Equity Data Science have launched what they describe as a workflow solution for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data intended to “allow investors to more quickly access and share ESG information,” officials say.
The solution is described as an “ESG digitized data aggregation tool” that makes use of data science “to help increase transparency while enhancing efficiency and collaboration amongst investment teams,” officials say. “The ESG workflow solution can integrate ESG data and analysis directly into the investment process, incorporating feeds from multiple data providers and types.”
The new offering will target firms as they manage without “clear, industry-accepted standards for ESG data,” officials say.
“We know that implementing ESG is a top concern for our clients, so EDS and Northern Trust have come together to launch our new ESG workflow solution to provide our clients with a single source for their data,” says Paul Fahey, head of investment data science at Northern Trust, in a prepared statement. “This enables more efficiency and transparency for investment teams and helps clients streamline their data and reporting processes,” Fahey says.
The ESG workflow solution includes:
- Automated capture of ESG data from market and specialist vendors, including unstructured data sets that identify potential ESG issues;
- Seamless integration of vended data elements such as notes and commentary within the system for access to all ESG-related data in a single view;
- Tools to digitize analysts’ processes around gathering, reviewing, and annotating ESG scoring and events, and decision points throughout the investment process.
- Analytics and dashboards that allow analysts and portfolio managers to “interrogate, visualize, compare, and decompose ESG scores from major vendors” for each company’s “true ESG profile.”

“The product’s risk scoring system will help users instantly assess real-time margin and liquidity, creating a new way for futures and options on futures traders to generate alpha under the most volatile market conditions,” officials say.
“The offering currently covers margin on existing positions and provides a full range of analytics behind those positions, including the ability to anticipate end-of-day margin. In the first half of next year, TT will add functionality for margin on open orders, giving the brokerage community serving firms and individual traders new tools to manage risk at the time of the trade,” officials say.
