Bloomberg PORT: Advanced Portfolio & Risk Analytics for Global Investors



07/02/2024


Bloomberg has introduced new tools designed to help investors evaluate, manage, and report on the sustainability characteristics of their investment portfolios. These tools are integrated within Bloomberg's widely-used portfolio and risk analytics platform, PORT, accessible to all Terminal users, and the enhanced PORT Enterprise for comprehensive enterprise reporting solutions. 

As sustainable investment strategies diversify and regulatory frameworks evolve, investors require advanced portfolio management tools that incorporate sustainability metrics to make informed decisions, fulfill investment mandates, and comply with regulatory reporting standards. 

To meet these demands, PORT and PORT Enterprise now feature Bloomberg’s high-quality and transparent ESG datasets, including essential ESG indicators mandated by the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), greenhouse gas emissions data for over 130,000 global companies, and Bloomberg’s proprietary ESG scores for evaluating company performance and disclosures. A new dedicated ESG screen in PORT allows users to easily compare portfolios, funds, and indices using detailed sustainability data for each holding. This enables users to identify holdings that do not align with their ESG objectives and to perform trend analysis. 

PORT Enterprise’s reporting capabilities have been expanded to include the newly standardized SFDR report per ESMA’s template, alongside fully customizable sustainability reports. These enhancements assist clients in disclosing their sustainability metrics and complying with EU regulatory requirements. 

Soojin Lee, Head of ESG Integration and Analytics at Bloomberg, stated, “Investors need increasingly sophisticated solutions to identify sustainability-related risks and opportunities and meet their objectives and obligations. Bloomberg’s expanded PORT offering allows clients to manage and perform detailed sustainability analyses on their portfolios seamlessly. To ensure data consistency throughout the investment management process, clients can access standardized reporting templates or create customized reports using our PORT Enterprise functionality.”

Bloomberg’s sustainable finance solutions encompass ESG data and analytics, indices, scores, regulatory solutions, sustainable debt, and climate risk. Terminal users also have access to ESG research from Bloomberg Intelligence and BloombergNEF. ESG data is readily accessible on the Bloomberg Terminal via {ESGD <GO>} or through enterprise solutions via Data License at data.Bloomberg.com for use in proprietary or third-party applications in any cloud environment. With Data License Plus (DL+) ESG Manager, Bloomberg connects clients' ESG data workflows to its extensive datasets and vendor partner data, maximizing value with ease.
