Investors today are beginning to enhance their fixed income investments by integrating extra-financial information in order to improve performance and manage risk in these volatile times. To accomplish this a whole array of entities need to be considered: countries, local authorities, private and state-owned companies and supranationals. Information like this is playing an ever more important role in the creation of sovereign bond indices and products.

To provide an example of the data, we created a graph showing the top 10 countries in terms of Strategic Governance performance, which can be viewed here.

At this moment we cover over 250 entities (including 67 countries, 31 local authorities, 91 companies, 35 state-owned companies and 30 supranational entities). For a complete list, please contact at info@asset4.com.
