What's included

From a single holding to a whole book of business.

SYNE's ESG Intelligence combines portfolio aggregation, exposure analysis, thematic screening and regulatory reporting into one continuously updated platform - built for teams who manage exposure across many holdings, not just one rated entity.

Portfolio Aggregation

Roll every holding's ESG, Sustainability, Carbon and Supplier Rating up into one weighted portfolio-level view.

Exposure & Look-Through Analysis

See through fund-of-fund and multi-asset structures to the underlying rated exposure at every level.

Thematic & Sector Screening

Screen and tilt portfolios by theme - climate, human rights, biodiversity - or by sector and geography.

Controversy & Alert Monitoring

Real-time alerts when a holding's rating changes, or a controversy is flagged against it.

Benchmark & Peer Comparison

Compare portfolio positioning directly against the SYNE Index, a chosen sector, or a custom peer set.

Client & Regulatory Reporting

Generate SFDR, TCFD and CSRD-aligned portfolio reports directly from the underlying rating data.

How portfolios are analysed

Four stages, from raw ratings to a client-ready report.

Every portfolio moves through the same four stages - Aggregate, Analyse Exposure, Screen & Alert, and Report - turning individually rated holdings into a single, continuously updated portfolio view.

A

Aggregation

Rolling individually rated holdings up into one weighted portfolio score.

  • Multi-Product Rating Roll-Up
  • Weighted Portfolio Scoring
  • Historical Score Trending
  • Cross-Product Normalisation (via the SYNE Index)
E

Exposure

Understanding where a portfolio's rated exposure actually sits.

  • Look-Through to Underlying Holdings
  • Fund-of-Fund & Multi-Asset Mapping
  • Sector & Geography Exposure
  • Concentration Risk Flagging
S

Screening & Alerts

Applying thematic and exclusionary criteria, and flagging changes as they happen.

  • Thematic Screening (Climate, Human Rights, Biodiversity)
  • Exclusionary Screening
  • Best-in-Class Tilting
  • Custom Taxonomy Mapping
R

Reporting

Turning the analysis into outputs that satisfy clients and regulators alike.

  • SFDR Article 8/9 Reporting
  • TCFD & CSRD-Aligned Outputs
  • Client & LP Reporting Packs
  • Regulatory Filing Support
End to end

From individual ratings to a continuously updated dashboard.

ESG Intelligence is delivered as a live platform, not a static report - the portfolio view updates as soon as an underlying rating changes.

Who uses ESG Intelligence

Built for anyone accountable for a book, not a single position.

A single rating tells you about one holding. ESG Intelligence tells you what your entire book actually looks like once every holding is added up.

Asset Managers & Fund Managers

Monitor fund-level ESG exposure and screen against thematic mandates in real time.

Asset Owners & Pension Funds

Oversee external managers' ESG exposure against a consistent, independent benchmark.

Wealth Managers & Advisors

Show clients a clear, aggregated ESG picture across a multi-holding investment portfolio.

Insurers & Investment Portfolios

Track ESG and controversy exposure across the investment side of the balance sheet.

Private Equity Firms

Monitor ESG performance and controversy exposure consistently across every portfolio company.

Consultants & Fiduciaries

Evidence fiduciary due diligence with a documented, continuously updated portfolio ESG record.

Why ESG Intelligence matters

A portfolio's ESG risk isn't the average of its ratings - it's the shape of its exposure.

A strong average score can still hide a handful of severely lagging holdings, a concentrated sector exposure, or a controversy building in a fund-of-fund structure three layers down. None of that is visible from individual ratings reviewed one at a time - it only shows up once the whole portfolio is aggregated and monitored continuously.

Blind spots

Why an average score hides risk

A strong weighted average can mask a small number of severely lagging holdings that a position-by-position review would catch immediately.

Fiduciary duty

What it means for asset owners

Continuous monitoring, not a quarterly snapshot, is what fiduciary due diligence increasingly expects from anyone overseeing external managers.

Regulatory reporting

What it means for SFDR & CSRD

Portfolio-level disclosure regimes require aggregated, auditable figures - not a manual roll-up of individual PDF reports.

The signal

What the intelligence actually tells you

The shape of a portfolio's ESG exposure - concentration, trend and controversy risk - not just its average grade.

Methodology

What separates SYNE ESG Intelligence from a spreadsheet roll-up.

Four principles run through every portfolio view, from a single fund to a multi-billion-dollar mandate.

Foundation

Built on independent ratings

Every score aggregated is an already-published, independently verified SYNE Rating - never a separate, opaque scoring layer.

Currency

Continuously refreshed

Portfolio views update as soon as an underlying rating changes - not on a fixed quarterly reporting cycle.

Independence

Regulatory-grade independence

Operating under the same independence standards as every SYNE Rating, with methodology published.

Consistency

Benchmarked on the SYNE Index

Portfolio positioning is compared against the same quadrant logic used across every SYNE Rating and dataset.

Intelligence vs. a rating

ESG Intelligence is a portfolio view, not a new rating.

A SYNE Rating judges one entity. ESG Intelligence aggregates many of those judgements into a single, continuously updated view of a portfolio.

The distinction

Aggregation, not a separate score

ESG Intelligence doesn't independently re-rate a holding - it aggregates, weights and monitors ratings that already exist.

Update cadence

Continuous, not periodic

The portfolio view updates the moment an underlying rating changes, rather than waiting for the next scheduled review.

Delivery

Dashboard, API, or export

Accessible as a live dashboard, an API feed for internal systems, or a scheduled export for reporting workflows.

Integration

Draws on every SYNE Rating

Pulls directly from ESG, Sustainability, Carbon and Supplier Ratings, and from ESG Data where a holding isn't yet rated.

Customisation

Built around your taxonomy

Thematic screens, exclusion lists and peer sets are configured to match your existing investment policy and mandates.

Recognition

Built for SFDR, TCFD & CSRD

Report structures map directly to the disclosure categories these frameworks require at the portfolio level.
