Morningstar Embeds Sustainalystics’ Country Risk Data in its MSR

Financial research provider Morningstar has incorporated Sustainalytics’ country risk ratings to its own Morningstar Sustainability Rating (MSR) product. The data field will be added to the MSR, which offers intelligence on 85,000 fund worldwide. The service is accessible to investors on Morningstar’s website, Morningstar Direct and Morningstar Advisor Workstation. The Canadian company said the new embedded content would be especially useful for assessing the ESG risks of corporate and sovereign fixed-income instruments.
