Where does the raw data come from?

Answer

The Scientific Infra & Private Assets Data Team collects information on a series of infrastructure companies that are sampled from the identified investible universe and actively monitored. A minimum amount of data must be available for a company to be included in the list and processed by the data analysts.

Company and instrument-level data, as well as transaction price data, can come from several sources:

• The audited accounts of infrastructure companies that qualify under the TICCS® taxonomy.

• Financials, forecasts and transaction prices contributed by infrastructure investors. 

• Events, news, and other relevant data published in the specialised and mainstream press, annual reports, press releases, etc.

Market data comes from the following commercial providers

• Interest rates: Datastream®

• Foreign exchange rates: Fixer.io

• Primary credit spreads (private project and corporate debt): Thomson Reuters®
