The patent pending ESG scoring and proprietary ranking, provide metrics that can be utilized by various industries with differing objectives:
Municipal Bond Holders, Municipal Bond Issuers, as well as Traders of Municipal Securities – the Municipal Bond market is an expansive market of almost $4 trillion in issuance but suffers from a dearth of timely and insightful research. The ranking data of ACRe is a valuable tool for both issuer (by highlighting their ranking), as well as asset owner, in order to review a unique risk profile of assets held, or municipal bonds on a short list.
ESG Metrics - as the largest provider of Alt Data for the Municipal Marketplace, ACRe's dataset provides countless unique measurements for ESG risks. Example datasets are Crime, Cost of Crime, Safe Dinking Water Violations, Cyberattack/ ransomware incidents, Flood risk, NFIP claims, demographic data, and many more.

Commercial Real Estate – assisting investors and developers with where to best allocate funds on a geographic basis throughout the United States.
Index Benchmark firms – providing a unique and insightful data set that can be utilized to build custom fixed income benchmarks that would exceed the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) guidelines.

Content for websites – using ACRe Data, creating lists of the top places to live in America will no longer be limited to the top ten (which is subjectively set). Now city, county, school district, and opportunity zone rankings can be provided using specific criteria applied to the entire nation, or targeted to state or even region (i.e., the Northeast).
