Looking for Growth with a Conscience?

Reduce climate risk exposure, and capture the growth opportunities arising from the low carbon transition, through four core equity portfolios aligned to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Alignment with the EU Climate Benchmark

Leading indices adhering to the Paris Aligned Benchmark – an EU endorsed framework designed to offer improved standardisation, transparency and reporting benefits.1

Core Sustainable Equity Exposure

Country and industry constraints keep the funds well diversified and closely comparable to their investment universe, enabling investors to easily align their portfolios with decarbonisation goals in one simple trade.

‘Forward Looking’ Investment Approach

Leverages the latest scientific data sets to provide a more insightful and robust assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, both today and in the future.

A New Class of Benchmark Tackling Climate Change

Until now low carbon benchmarks have principally focused on reducing or excluding fossil fuels, with risk assessments based on historical CO2 emissions. The philosophy of the EU Climate Benchmarks is different and aims to not only assess a company based on its carbon footprint (‘backward-looking’ approach) but, through scenario analysis based on innovative new environmental and scientific data sets, also identify potential growth opportunities (‘forward-looking’ approach).

Based on a robust framework of risk and opportunity oriented minimum standards, the EU Climate Benchmarks provide a simple and effective tool to align with the decarbonisation goals of the Paris Accord.

Risk-Oriented Standards

Help reduce exposure to climate-related financial risks including stranded asset, transition & physical risks 

Opportunity-Oriented Standards

Help direct capital to those companies leading the transition to a low carbon economy
