Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service providers to:

  • Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  • Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.

  • Comply with a legal obligation.
  • Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a twelve (12)-month period. The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.  Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt.  If we require more time, up to ninety (90) days, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.  If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account.  If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.  Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12)-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.  The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

California’s “Shine the Light” law (California Civil Code Section 1798.83) permits our customers that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us as described at Contact Us.

DEREK JETER

DEREK JETER

Board Member 

 

By the time he stepped away from baseball in 2014 after a historic 20-year career, Derek Jeter had established himself as one of the most respected men to ever have played the game. In recognition of his on-field accomplishments and impact on the game, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in the Class of 2020.

With a reputation as an unmatched leader both on and off the field, Jeter has established a second career leading a variety of successful business ventures and entrepreneurial investments, while still maintaining his ties with baseball. From 2017-2022, he served as part-owner and CEO of MLB’s Miami Marlins, overseeing the day-to-day for both the business and baseball operations for the team. He was the first African-American to serve in this role for any Major League team in the history of the sport and prioritized diversity in his front office and coaching hires.

Jeter is also the founder of The Players’ Tribune, a subsidiary of Minute Media for which he also is a member of the Board. TPT is an innovative multimedia company where world-class athletes share their honest and unique perspectives, bringing fans closer to the games they love. In November 2013, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced the Jeter Publishing imprint, which has produced a number of New York Times best sellers including the first children’s book released, The Contract, and a full-color photo book called Jeter Unfiltered, which provided fans an in-depth look at his life through never-before-published images taken over the course of his final season.

Jeter continues to be the driving force behind the Turn 2 Foundation, which he established in 1996 to give back to the communities with which he has a close connection, including West Michigan, Tampa and New York City. He satisfies his passion for inspiring young people through initiatives -- like the Jeter’s Leaders program -- that promote academic excellence, leadership development, positive behavior, healthy choices and social change. To date, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $30 million in grants to create and support signature programs that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and “Turn 2” healthy lifestyles.

A five-time World Series champion and member of baseball’s exclusive 3,000-hit club, Jeter earned numerous accolades throughout his career in recognition of both his on-field skill and his commitment to the community, including: World Series MVP (2000); 14 MLB All-Star selections; 5 Gold Glove Awards; 5 Silver Slugger Awards; AL Rookie of the Year (1996); Roberto Clemente Award (2009); and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Award (2009). In 2017, the Yankees retired his No. 2 jersey and unveiled a plaque in the famed Monument Park in recognition of his historic career with the organization.

Conclusion is based on a hypothetical ESG Improvers market cap weighted portfolio, which seeks to isolate pure ESG Improvement while controlling for sector and factor biases. The hypothetical back-tested performance shown here was not calculated in the same manner as the Bloomberg Rockefeller ESG improvers IndexTM Family because, among other things, no quality and low volatility factors were applied, and no negative screens were included in the analysis. The back-tested hypothetical performance information shown is not that of a Bloomberg Rockefeller ESG Improvers Index. Transaction costs are not considered in this analysis; reflects the reinvestment of all distributions. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Actual performance will differ. Please refer to the disclosures and methodology at the end of this presentation and our whitepaper, ESG Improvers: An Alpha Enhancing Factor, for additional information regarding the universe, methodology and inherent limitations. For more information on the methodology reference: ESG Improvers: An Alpha Enhancing Factor (ESG-improvers-Whitepaper.pdf (rockco.com))

REIS Methodology for Quintile Analysis

Our ESG process centers around RAM’s proprietary materiality map, which was developed in collaboration with our equity and ESG analysts and based on guidance from SASB. We then conducted an extensive data mapping project to determine which metrics best quantify each material ESG issue. After integrating data from various data providers, we utilized academic imputation best practices to approximate missing values. This is especially important given that ESG data is not always available and is not reported in a consistent manner. Approximately 30-50% of the data used in calculating Rockefeller ESG Improvers Score™ (REIS) was derived in this manner. If ESG data were available for all issuers over all periods covered by this presentation, the hypothetical back-tested performance shown would likely have been different. To consider how material ESG issues can have varying impacts on financial performance, our issue weights are adjusted depending on the historical relationship between financial performance and material ESG metrics. We developed a quantitative process to determine material issue weights referred to as Rockefeller ESG Relevance Rankings™. When analyzing ESG improvement, we aim to capture the portion of observed change in a firm’s ESG scores unexplained by traditional financial metrics and firm characteristics. To that end, we run cross-sectional regressions between firms’ rolling 12-month change in ESG score and changes in key financial variables and firm characteristics. The Rockefeller ESG Improvers Score™ (REIS) is the vector of rgression residuals.

Limitations

ESG data is subjective and non-standardized, has a limited history, coverage gaps, challenges with timeliness and inherent biases. The analysis does not incorporate transaction costs.

Universe

The universe consists of developed market stocks. Over the time series of analysis, changes in coverage patterns may occur based on changes in data availability. For example, we see ESG data coverage improve gradually after 2016, particularly for mid and small-cap companies.

Backtested Performance

Each quarter, we form top and bottom quintile portfolios based on REIS values. Rebalancing of the portfolios based on REIS occurs quarterly. Within each quarter, portfolio constituent weights are adjusted monthly based on relative market cap. Portfolio monthly performance is backtested against Bloomberg Developed Markets Total Return Index over the time period of analysis.

Rebalancing

The backtested results were rebalanced quarterly based on REIS and monthly based on market capitalization.
