Technology
Mission Markets™ maintains a secure, password protected discovery platform accessible only to accredited investors, their advisors and pre-screened and approved issuers. Mission Markets™ does not operate a “trading platform,” but, rather, operates an online investment offering and data platform where all actual transactions are facilitated through our FINRA licensed registered representatives.
Mission Markets™ uses technology to enable investors to more effectively view private offering documents and issuers to cost effectively post their investment offering data to their own private offering data page.
Mission Markets™ does not use automation to drive impact and sustainability markets transactions. The Mission Markets™ platform is used to support our suite of traditional sales and marketing services enabling qualified and approved clients to more effectively source impact and sustainability investment offering data helping them with the investment due diligence process.
Technology Features Include:
- Features to identify opportuntiies for collaboration and partnering based on “problem” (i.e.,water shortage, energy deprivation, illiteracy, etc.) and theme (i.e., renewable energy, agriculture, e-learning, etc.)
- Ability to filter and search by sector and subsector, financial instrument, geographic location
- All approved investment offering documents and marketing documents posted in portable document format
- Management video presentations; pre-recorded presentations provided by the management team of an issuing opportunity
- 3rd party sustainability and impact metrics providing a review of the impact and sustainability characteristics of a given opportunity; these include GIIRS, Trucost, B-Corp
- Required use of the Impact Reporting and Investment Standards (IRIS), a common language for describing the social and environmental performance of an organization
The key to Mission Markets’ value as an organization solely focused within our targeted sectors is our ability to aggregate, develop and organize data and information so that we can prospectively produce proprietary and third-party research and content.
News & Data Aggregation
By supporting a community of investors, issuers and service providers, we are in the unique position to collect news and data related to securities and environmental credits transactions, issuer and project metrics, and user-generated content.
ESG Research & Ratings
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research and content are becoming increasingly important for investment decisions and valuations. At Mission Markets™, we compile ESG Research & Ratings in order to create products and indicators for our customers.
Impact Analysis Metrics
Mission Markets™ has created a proprietary metric, Measuring Impact 4 (Mi4), to allow investors to customize metrics toward their specific impact interest. Mi4 version 1.0 poses key financial, environmental, social and governance (FESG) questions and calculates an impact and sustainability rating (not an investment rating) for opportunities on our platform. Each Mi4 rating is customized to reflect individual investor member’s sustainability return needs.
