何謂 iScore?/ Methodology behind the iScore
The Aggregate Confusion Hypothesis* by the MIT research team suggests that the rating divergence comes from 3 aspects: Scope, Rater, and Weighting differences. We argue that ESG analysts employed by different ESG data providers are subjected to regional and corporate culture influence in rating companies, leaving to the divergence.
依據麻省理工學院研究團隊綜合評估企業在範圍、評分者和權重差異三方面的差異進行分析。但由於不同ESG數據供應商僱用的ESG分析師在評級公司中受到區域和企業文化的影響,因此存在分歧。
For each stock, we compute a divergence factor based on performance based ESG scores of each firm from various providers of different regions to capture the divergence effect. With a proprietary Peer-Based ESG (PBESG) analysis framework, we compute the iScore for each firm by scaling the ESG rating by the divergence factor generated.
因此,對於每支股票,我們根據來自不同地區不同供應商的每家公司基於績效的ESG分數計算一個背離因數,以捕捉背離效應。借助專有的、基於同行的ESG(PBESG) 分析框架,我們通過生成的分歧因數縮放ESG評級來計算每家公司的iScore。

Capturing the Media Coverage Sentiment
Based on media coverage of ESG/sustainability topics, the commercial data providers employ Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to capture the positive and negative sentiment of the articles based on a prescribed list of ESG key words. We then construct a net score which reflects how professionals perceive the ESG information from the media coverage in a given time period.
