Our global coverage is offered through research databases and our PortfolioEdge services. In addition to Jantzi Research's core research products, it also builds custom ESG criteria to client specifications in a way that ensures a balance between environmental or social themes and the investment manager’s ability to manage a diversified portfolio.
