Physical Climate Resilience
Climate equity indices designed to integrate long-term physical climate risk while maintaining tight control of benchmark deviation and financial risk.
The SciX Physical Climate Resilience Index Series translates physical climate risk into an investable framework for core equity portfolios.
Key Value Drivers of SciX Climate Indices………………………………………………………………………………
Integrate physical climate risks that can affect assets, infrastructure, production, supply chains, and long-term economic outcomes.
Apply an original top-down approach designed specifically to translate physical climate risk into broad equity index construction.
Bring physical climate resilience into diversified core equity allocations rather than treating it solely as a standalone climate analysis.
\Start from a Core Index with an explicit objective for reducing long-term physical climate risk relative to a standard benchmark.
Control benchmark deviation, sector exposures, diversification, and other financial risks so the climate objective remains investable.
Refine the Core Index around investor objectives and constraints, supported by live analytics, backtesting, and simulation.
Challenges SciX Climate Indices Are Built to Address……………………………………………………..
Physical Climate Risk Extends Beyond Insurance
..
..
Extreme heat, weather disruption, infrastructure stress, and supply-chain vulnerability can affect companies and long-term portfolio outcomes. For investors, physical climate risk therefore needs to be considered as an economic and financial factor, not only as an insurance problem.....
Detailed Risk Data Can Be Difficult to Scale
..
..
Investors differ in their climate objectives, exclusion policies, investment horizons, and tolerance for benchmark deviation. A single standardized climate index cannot easily reflect this diversity while remaining methodologically robust.
....
....
Resilience Must Remain Investable
….
….
Improving a portfolio’s climate-risk profile can create unintended sector exposures, concentrations, or benchmark deviations if portfolio construction is not carefully controlled. Physical climate resilience therefore needs to be integrated alongside financial risk management.....
Physical Climate Resilience Core Index
A Robust Starting Point for Core Equity Allocations
Target Physical Climate Risk Reduction With Controlled Tracking Error
In its Core version, the SciX Physical Climate Resilience Index Series targets a 15% reduction in long-term physical climate risk for one percentage point of tracking error relative to the benchmark. The objective is to deliver meaningful improvement in physical climate resilience while remaining close enough to a traditional benchmark to serve as a practical core equity solution or a starting point for further customization.

From Physical Climate Risk to Investable Index………………………………………………………………
Define the Investment Framework
Establish the reference benchmark together with the investor’s physical climate-resilience objective, exclusions, and relevant portfolio constraints.
Start From the Core Methodology
Apply SciX’s top-down physical climate-risk framework within a Core Index designed to improve resilience while tightly controlling deviation from the benchmark.
Customize and Evaluate
Refine the index where required and use live analytics, backtesting, and simulation to assess climate metrics, financial risks, tracking error, and portfolio constraints before implementation.
Connecting Climate Science to Investment Decisions
Physical Climate Risk and Financial Materiality
Physical Climate Resilience Methodology
From Climate Risk to Portfolio Resilience…………………………………………………………………….
From Physical Risk to Financial Materiality
Physical climate change can damage assets, disrupt production chains, affect infrastructure, reduce productivity, and change the relative attractiveness of countries, sectors, and companies. SciX approaches these effects through the lens of long-term financial materiality, translating climate-risk information into an investment framework suitable for equity index construction.

A Top-Down Framework for Broad Equity Portfolios
Physical climate-risk solutions are often built around granular, bottom-up assessments that are consistent with an insurance-style approach but can be difficult to scale for diversified investment purposes. SciX bridges this gap with an original top-down framework designed for index construction and integration into core equity portfolios.

Risk-Controlled Index Construction
Climate objectives are implemented alongside SciX’s financial risk-management framework. Its risk model, robust optimization process, live analytics, backtesting, and simulation help control benchmark deviation, sector exposures, diversification, turnover, and investor-specific constraints while making the consequences of index-design choices transparent..
