Innovest's Intangible Value Assessment (IVA) ratings provide investment managers and asset owners with a valuable tool to help them evaluate hidden risks and opportunities posed by the sustainability practices of their portfolio companies. IVA provides actionable investment insights into the hidden risks and value drivers related to extra-financial sustainability factors.Combining qualitative sustainability research with best-in-class fundamental and quantitative research, IVA provides rigorous in-depth analysis and assessment of companies’ managerial and financial capacity to manage environmentally and socially driven investment risk. This approach resulted in Innovest, now part of RiskMetrics Group, being rated #1 global provider of “extra-financial” research 2 years in a row by the Thomson Extel survey of institutional investors. With coverage for over 2000 companies worldwide, the IVA model combines more than 120 performance factors, including innovation capacity, product liability, governance, human capital, emerging market and environmental opportunities and risks. These are categorized under four major areas of focus.
