Data from financial markets is difficult to understand. People are often overwhelmed and ill-equipped to be able to make sense out of the data that might change their financial set up. Investor preferences are changing alongside consumer attitudes to key factors such as social, environmental and governance elements. ESG factors are becoming increasingly relevant not only for financial actors but for citizens of the world who wish to actively participate in change. Solutions in the market currently designed for highly literate users, they require a deep understanding of financial markets plus ESG.
