Asset managers should be one of the principal beneficiaries of SRI-CONNECT’s Factor Four objective of enabling them to achieve twice as much SRI activity in half the time. In particular, they are likely to use the following to:
Market Buzz & Research
- Receive news, research and reports from companies, SRI research providers and others – also notifications of discussions, events and blogs – all filtered to their own specific interests
- Search the SRI-CONNECT database for research and reports
- Channel their own news, research, ideas and questions to SRI industry participants with mutual interests
Directory, network & discussion
- Find and filter profiles to identify relevant research providers, contacts at companies, analysts at research providers and experts at other organisations
- Present themselves and their investment relevant activities clearly to the SRI marketplace
- Discuss issues of mutual interest with investors, analysts and companies
Build and manage their own SRI network via the groups, events and messaging functions
