New databases: KLD and Lipper TASS

KLD contains annual (from 1991) snap-shots of the environmental, social, and governance performance of about 3100 American companies rated by KLD Research & Analytics, Inc. Indicators are for example human rights, diversity and corporate governance.

KLD is available via Wharton Research Data Service (WRDS); it can be searched by using tickers and 8-digit Cusip.

Lipper TASS offers hedgefund data. Basically these are two access files, one with live hedgefunds (live) and one with dead hedgefunds (graveyard). These files are only accessible at the EUR campusnetwork with your ERNA username and password.
