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.
| 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 |
