Where and how do you source your data?

The data used to generate HIP Ratings is collected through publicly available resources, as well as through non-public subscription databases. To be considered for inclusion in a sector's scorecard, a data source must meet the following three requirements:

  1. Values must be a quantitative metric of an issuer's impact on people, planet or trust.
    There must be a direct relationship between the data point and the future risk potential of a bond issuer at any point across the full duration of the bond.
  2. Data set must deliver significant coverage across the peer universe, providing a performance range and appropriate context for data verification and comparison.
  3. In sourcing data, HIP strives to acquire the most quantitative, comparable, and comprehensive metrics according to these criteria that apply to each given sector.

HIP sources data from dozens of sources, including:

  • Issuers and obligors of muni bonds
  • Government databases
  • Non-profit datasets
  • For-profit databases
  • Academic research

HIP sources, cleans, quality-checks, and tests the distributions of the results. As HIP produces, published, and licenses Ratings, our analysts are very attentive to quality, accuracy, and analytical rigor.
