What data is available?

Manifest analyses global quoted companies for a wide range of corporate governance data points. With over 700 governance-related data items per company, the list is too extensive to show here. In addition to board biographies, we analyse committee structures, length of service, total remuneration, new and existing option schemes, proxy poll voting levels and much more besides. Data can be presented by, for example, Economic Group, Sector, Market Cap., Turnover. We offer a variety of delivery formats including the usual spreadsheet or WP document formats.

Manifest’s data is extremely high quality and goes through rigorous data checking processes. Our team of well-trained UK-based data analysts talk directly to primary information sources to iron out any issues before publication. Much of our data is updated on a daily basis and is derived from primary sources by our expert team.
