Where and how do you source your data?

MainStreet Partners collects relevant information for each GSS Bond by reference to documents or reports published by the issuer, public information provided by third parties (Second Party Opinions), public data or data obtained by engaging with the issuer directly. Most data are sourced directly from GSS Bonds issuers public resources, namely: Frameworks, Allocation Reports and Impact Reports. These are usually pdf documents. The information is then analysed against an internal methodology to ensure consistency within the dataset and is updated monthly. 

 

Systems are equipped with automated data input validation mechanisms that examine incoming data for adherence to predefined standards. These validation checks include format validation, range checks, and data type verification, ensuring that only accurate and valid data is accepted.
