Sub-Sovereign Risk Ratings

Given the potential and high liquidity of the US municipal market, investors recognize the essential role that sub-sovereign entities can play in achieving sustainable growth. As consideration of ESG factors by Muni investors has grown in recent years, there has been more demand for reliable and comprehensive ESG assessments of US municipal market issuers.

Our transparent methodology and ESG and wealth data provide investors with a comprehensive view of a municipality’s ESG-related risks. The ratings are a strong fit for assessing US general obligation bonds but can be leveraged for any geographic construct, from broad regional to local levels.

The rating measures sub-sovereign wealth comprised of natural, produced, human, and institutional capital, and the degree to which that wealth is at risk due to socio economic, environmental, and governance (ESG) factors.
