BNY Mellon and Aon to Explore Digital Assets, Data, and Analytics

In a joint announcement, BNY Mellon and Aon stated their intention to delve into opportunities related to digital assets, data, and analytics. As part of this new partnership, the two firms committed to collaborating closely with clients to assist in crafting more effective investment strategies through the provision of richer datasets, advanced analytical tools, and practical insights into environmental, social, and governance (ESG) portfolio risks.

This collaboration is expected to enhance Aon’s portfolio management and research processes, particularly by improving net-zero reporting transparency.

Furthermore, BNY Mellon and Aon are investigating ways to make Aon’s proprietary ESG fund ratings accessible to asset owners, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of how asset managers integrate sustainability factors into their investment, operational, and organizational practices.
