Document summary
The current economic crisis has pushed both the role and influence of hidden risks embedded in investment portfolios to the forefront. This needs to be accompanied by a move towards objective views of long-term risk from environmental, social and governance perspectives. Societe Generale introduces the SRI Navigator a set of quantitative and objective indicators to reliably assess exposure to hidden risk factors. The assessment system includes traditional financial metrics plus geographic exposures of sales, assets and income as key metrics for long-term risk analysis. The Navigator covers all sectors across the globe using the DJ Stoxx 1800 as the benchmark.
