We are pleased to invite you to attend Scientific Climate Indices’ Building Efficient Climate Resilient Indices webinar on 27th August. In this 45-minute session, we will present a climate resilient index that offers investors around 15% relative reduction in climate physical risk in exchange for only 1% annual tracking error on average against a standard market cap-weighted benchmark. More generally, we will explore how equity indices can be used to reduce exposure to physical climate risks while controlling traditional risk measures.

3 PM CEST/ 2 PM BST/ 9 AM EDT
45 Minutes
Key questions include
How can we assess exposure to physical climate risks – both acute and chronic – in public equities? Are practitioners underestimating potential losses?
What are the pros and cons of ‘top-down’ versus ‘bottom-up’ approaches to assessing and mitigating physical climate risks? What are the implications for data requirements, transparency, cost and more?
How can investors avoid ‘unintended consequences’– unwanted portfolio exposures and investment/risk outcomes – while efficiently mitigating physical climate risk?
What would a ‘resilient market cap-weighted index’ look like? How much reduction in physical risk does 1% of tracking error provide to investors? Can the index be customized to specific objectives and constraints?
