1.*Criteria marked with an asterisk (*) are bonus-scoring items. An “A” rating earns one additional point. For multi-asset bonus items, where an assessed institution discloses information for only one asset class due to internal or external policy constraints, the maximum score shall be limited to three points, even if the disclosure fully meets the completeness requirements.
2. Additional deductions: Where an institutional investor is involved in a material incident, such as a breach of stewardship principles or a regulatory sanction, additional points may be deducted following deliberation by the Advisory Committee.
