Provider of financial markets data and infrastructure Refinitiv announced today that FinAPU, a German language-based platform offering risk management solutions to banks, insurance companies, corporations and investment funds, is adopting its Environment Social and Governance (ESG) data.

ESG has become a significant benchmark in the global financial industry. The Refinitiv ESG data tools and insight will provide FinAPU the ability to seamlessly integrate ESG data with their risk assessment workflows allowing clients to calculate portfolio lists.

“Our partnership with Refinitiv will provide clients with the ability to act quickly and perform risk assessments covering countries, companies and banks. Clients will be able to carry out portfolio risk analytics involving companies and countries. Reliable ESG data can help guide the allocation of trillions of dollars of investment capital which is now a critical requirement for effective sustainable investment.”

Antonio De Gregorio, Managing Director, Central and Eastern Europe, Refinitiv, explains:

“We are witnessing the advent of ESG-related regulation at EU level, a world-first and surely not the last effort to integrate responsible practices into hard letter regulation. Factors driving the adoption of ESG data tools include the enthusiasm of millennials, greater regulation and stronger links to alpha generation. Our goal at Refinitiv is to make ESG data readily consumable and help pinpoint the investment community to make better and more impactful investment decisions at scale”

FIA urges CFTC to regulate use cases rather than AI itself

“We urge the CFTC to refrain from crafting new regulations that generally regulate AI because this approach presents certain well-known pitfalls. By approaching the issue from the perspective of AI as a technology, rather than the use case for the technology, corresponding regulations would likely necessitate a definition of AI. We anticipate that any attempt to properly define AI would be very challenging and require considerable resources.”
