Bus/Financial - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: additive
For example, identifying fundamental trends from management comments on company earnings calls was most additive.

Aus einem Jahresbericht. Es geht darum, was positiv und negativ für die Performance war, mit dem "additive" kann ich hier leider nicht viel anfangen.

Der ganze Abschnitt lautet:
The bright spot of the stock selection model was quality insights, with both generic as well as next generation insights making a positive contribution.◊ ◊For example, identifying fundamental trends from management comments on company earnings calls was most additive.◊ ◊Finally, our ESG signals made a small positive contribution.◊ ◊More precisely, insights focused on previous controversies helped motivate an underweight position in Nordic banks (e.g. xxx Bank) which fell heavily due to the money laundering scandal involving Russian businessmen.

fügte [sehr viel] Mehrwert hinzu


Explanation:
Den angefragten Begriff *additive* würde ich etwas freier übersetzen und Richtung Kommunikation/Analyse gehen.

Die Kommentare fügten sehr viel *Mehrwert* hinzu, der über die reinen Bilanzkennzahlen oder das Zahlenwerk hinausgeht. Die reine bilanz- und Kennzahlenanalyse würde ich hier unter dem Begriff *generic* einordnen, die Kommentare (beispielsweise zu Strategie und/oder Marktanteil) zum Thema Mehrwert.
