The project was a clear success in terms of its original scope, as CadDo is now a single and verifiable source of truth for ESG data, informing the investment decision-making process and providing fund managers and investors alike with complete transparency. At the same time, the successful deployment of CadDo’s cloud-based metadata modelling has enabled:
- More frequent and granular evaluation of fund make-up, highlighting ESG outliers and red flags
- Clearer communications between Actiam and its clients about fund and portfolio performance, through online performance dashboards
- Fresh opportunities for Actiam as an industry leader in the realm of responsible investing, supporting other fund and asset managers looking for help with their own ESG strategies
