ncarol.com/10154056

NEW YORK - ncarol.com -- To provide a greater breadth of insight into the role of technology in the future of finance and ESG, Window – a leading provider of ESG data and risk assessment tools – has acquired Fintech Drift, a publisher that helps finance professionals understand how technology is reshaping financial markets.

The partnership between Window and Fintech Drift allows Window to provide bleeding-edge content on how the acceleration of machine learning, the adoption of financial technology, and the transition to stakeholder capitalism are reshaping the public markets and alternative assets landscapes.

The acquisition further solidifies Window's position as a leader among ESG data providers. ESG assets under management are projected to exceed $50 trillion globally by 2025, and ESG AUM in the U.S. has grown more than 40% in the past two years. Being situated at the intersection of ESG and alternative data puts Window in an attractive position for future growth.

As investors increasingly insist on accountability regarding the social impact of the funds and companies they invest in, institutions, fund managers, and portfolio companies will require sophisticated data, technology, decision-making, and reporting tools to communicate with stakeholders.
