For Investors

Compare financed activities across issuers

Act IDs give your portfolio management, ESG, and data teams a shared reference for the activities financed across your labelled bond holdings — making comparison, tagging, and reporting cleaner and more consistent.

Why investors use Act IDs

Across a portfolio of green, social, and sustainability bonds, the same underlying activity is described differently by every issuer. Your team ends up doing repetitive mapping work — reading frameworks, SPO opinions, and allocation reports and translating them into your internal classification.

When issuers, banks, and SPO providers reference Act IDs in their documentation, that mapping work shrinks significantly. The Act ID is already the shared reference you need.

Portfolio tagging

Tag your holdings by Act ID to build a portfolio view organised by financed activity — regardless of how each issuer describes it in their own framework. Compare allocations to offshore wind across five issuers without manual interpretation.

Comparability across issuers

When a new transaction uses an Act ID you already hold, you can immediately compare terms, allocations, and SPO coverage — because the activity reference is the same.

Internal reporting

Use Act IDs as the activity dimension in your internal ESG and allocation reporting. Standard identifiers make it easier to build consistent reports across your team, systems, and mandates.

Data vendor alignment

As data vendors integrate Act IDs, the activity classification in your data feeds will align with your own internal tagging — reducing reconciliation and improving data quality.

Example: Portfolio view by Act ID
Act ID Activity Holdings Allocation
ACT-A-7K4M2Q Offshore wind 4 bonds €240m
ACT-A-3N8P5R Solar PV 6 bonds €310m
ACT-A-9X2L6W Electric rail 2 bonds €90m

Activity comparison across 4 issuers using different descriptions — unified by a single Act ID.

Example: Internal system record
{
  "isin": "XS1234567890",
  "issuer": "Example Corp",
  "act_id": "ACT-A-7K4M2Q",
  "activity": "Offshore wind electricity generation",
  "allocation_eur": 120000000
}
