KLD Introduces New Training Options

@KLD Now Distributed Via The Bloomberg Terminal

         The Bloomberg Terminal now carries @KLD in addition to KLD news, updates and company reports.

         @KLD is a semimonthly publication, which highlights breaking corporate stories that KLD’s research staff have recently added to SOCRATES, KLD’s online research database. Since its launch in 2001, @KLD has included over 3,500 entries, selected from more than 122,000 updates to Socrates.

How to Read @KLD

         @KLD may appear to be a comprehensive list of all the content that has changed within Socrates in the past two weeks. However, readers should keep in mind that @KLD is merely the tip of the iceberg. It does not include:

• All ratings changes, only those that are related to a discrete news item
• Updates to existing stories that do not substantially change the focus
• Text edits, rewrites or additions which come during a company’s annual KLD review

         For more information about @KLD, please email Sam Warren.

How to access @KLD in Bloomberg:

         One can access @KLD through two main channels:

• Type NH KLD to find a listing of all of KLD’s recent articles.
• If you are researching a specific company, type BRC once you have accessed the company. This will take you to a list of recent research headlines throughout the network. If the company appeared in the most recent @KLD, the headline will appear on this list.

         For more information about how to access @KLD in Bloomberg, please email Chrystina Gastelum.

KLD Introduces New Training Options

         KLD is pleased to offer enhanced training options to its research clients.

         SOCRATES and PASS clients will have the option to request individualized training for themselves or their company or to join internet “classes” that focus on specific functions, such as querying or using the Portfolio Screening tool. During the classes, clients may call in and get step-by-step instructions over the Internet.

        While KLD has always offered training as requested by new and existing clients, KLD client services department wanted to make sure clients know they have access to resources to help them learn efficient ways to conduct their research using our products.

          Clients interested in scheduling a training session with a member of KLD’s client services staff should send an email to clientservices@kld.com. KLD will also post notices on its website to let clients know when specialized training sessions on covering specific functionality will be held.
