MSCI ESG Governance Score
For Stocks:
The Overall ESG Governance Score represents either the Intangible Value Assessment (IVA) Governance Pillar Score or Government Rating Governance Pillar Score of the issuer. The score indicates how well an issuer manages its governance issues. Score ranges from lowest 0 - 10 highest.
For ETFs/Mutual Funds:
A fund’s Governance Score (lowest 0 - 10 highest) measures holdings’ management of and exposure to key governance risks and opportunities.
For Model Portfolios:
A model portfolio's Governance Score (lowest 0 - 10 highest) measures its holdings’ management of and exposure to key Governance risks and opportunities. This is calculated by finding the weighted mean of the holdings' Governance Score with the weights that have available data coverage. There's a 65% data coverage threshold requirement for the data point's calculation.
(Holding1 score * Holding1 weight) + ... + (HoldingN score * HoldingN weight) / (Holding1 weight + ... + HoldingN weight) = Portfolio Score
