We’re excited to announce that our new Commentary feature is now fully integrated into the Vantage dashboard for Extel's Japan data. For the first time, clients can explore investor feedback directly alongside their results, with comments that are structured, searchable, and sentiment‑tagged, using AI‑driven processing.

 
So what is Commentary?

•    Positive, neutral, and constructive comments about your company
•    Positive and neutral comments about peers
•    AI‑processed sentiment tagging for cleaner, clearer insight
•    Full filtering by company, sector, ranking type, individual, year, and sentiment
•    Directly embedded into Vantage — no more separate files.

Commentary helps you understand the “why” behind your scores and gives you richer context on what investors value across your sector. Volumes may vary from company to company, and some organisations may receive only a small number of comments. Even so, these insights often provide valuable signals about what investors notice most — and how they talk about companies across your sector. Whether you receive many comments or just a few, Commentary helps add meaningful context to your scores and rankings.

After refining the product in Japan, we will be rolling out Commentary in other regions soon.
