While doing some company research recently, I realized that Lexis-Nexis Academic, a database available through the Newman Library, offers the most recent GMI ratings on companies, including environmental, social, governance, litigation, and accounting-related risk indicators.
Two ways to locate the ratings are: Select GMI Ratings in the Source Directory on Lexis-Nexis Academic (listed in the databases on the Newman Library homepage) and then search by the company names or ticker symbols that you need. The ratings report will be listed for each company. The second way, is to search by ticker or company name in the “Get Company Info” box. In the left column of results, click Analyst Reports. The GMI Rating, if there is one, will be listed. Click on the link for the full report. Lexis-Nexis offers an explanation of the ratings, including the date, which is the date that rating was published.
One may access Lexis-Nexis Academic off campus and on as a Baruch student, faculty or staff. Other CUNY libraries have access to Lexis-Nexis Academic.
The Newman Library also has GMI ratings, available for a number of years and indicators, through the WRDS databases. However, the coverage we have available through WRDS does not include the environmental, social, litigation and accounting-related risk factors. Some accounting and governance information is available through WRDS. Access to WRDS through the Newman Library is limited to current Baruch students, faculty and staff.
