Institutional Shareholder Services, a provider of corporate governance solutions to the global financial community, announced this week that it has acquired Incentive Lab, a data and analytics firm. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Established in 2009, Incentive Lab offers detailed and comparable data on incentive awards; full details on performance metrics, goals, and structures; and a host of other data, including vesting schedules and performance periods. Based on this detailed data, Incentive Lab has developed approaches to value and benchmark performance-based compensation, assess the rigor of performance targets, and understand how changes in plan design affect likely award outcomes.

ISS will integrate the firm’s solutions into its research, data, and analytical tools used by investors and corporations.
