About this event

A large proportion of climate equity indices have underperformed cap-weighted benchmarks over the past three years. What conclusions might investors draw from results and to what extent should these influence portfolio strategy? 

Join us for a focused 15-minute webinar where we will explore findings addressed in a new Market Review: Climate Equity Performance Needs Close Attention.

Key Insights for Investors:

• Relative three-year performance for U.S. and European equity indices that are designed for ‘climate investing’ and/or the reduction of portfolio carbon emissions.
• The importance of idiosyncratic risk to return outcomes, contributing more than exposure to any fundamental factor or sector, although certain factors (such as Size) have been relevant.
• Understanding Scientific Portfolio’s ‘Climate Transition’ risk factor as an additional lens for analyzing a portfolio’s climate risk exposure.
