Climate Mitigation
Climate equity indices designed to align portfolio decarbonisation with the real economy while maintaining energy consistency and disciplined control of benchmark deviation and financial risk.
The SciX Climate Mitigation Index Series translates real-economy decarbonization into an investable framework for core equity portfolios
Key Value Drivers of SciX Climate Indices………………………………………………………………………………
Assess company decarbonisation relative to observed regional and sectoral emissions trends.
Concentrate the alignment framework where emissions differences are most economically relevant.
Maintain a portfolio-level balance between electricity production and consumption that is at least as favourable as the reference benchmark.
Integrate climate mitigation into broad institutional equity allocations rather than treating it solely as a thematic exposure.
Control tracking error, diversification, liquidity and unintended country or sector exposures.
Adapt the Core Index to investor objectives and constraints, supported by live analytics, backtesting and simulation.
Challenges SciX Mitigation Indices Are Built to Address………………………………………………….
Portfolio Targets Can Become Disconnected from the Real Economy...
Many climate strategies are built around forward-looking decarbonization pathways that can differ from the trajectory of the real economy. Objectives that are disconnected from sector and regional trends can be difficult to sustain and may create unintended consequences.
Carbon Intensity Alone Can Give an Incomplete Picture..
...
...
Sectors have very different structural emissions profiles and play different economic roles. Climate mitigation therefore requires comparing companies with relevant sector and regional references rather than simply favouring the companies or sectors with the lowest absolute emissions.....
Decarbonization Must Remain Economically Consistent…..
Reducing portfolio emissions should not inadvertently reduce exposure to electricity production while increasing exposure to sectors with high electricity demand. A climate-mitigation strategy needs to consider the functioning of the wider energy system as well as reported emissions.
Climate Mitigation Core Index
A Robust Starting Point for Core Equity Allocations
Align Portfolio Decarbonization with the Real Economy
The SciX Climate Mitigation Index Series is underpinned by an emissions alignment framework that compares company emissions trajectories with the decarbonization of the relevant sector and region. Portfolio construction ensures strong control of tracking error, diversification, liquidity and unintended sector or country deviations, while an energy-consistency constraint manages the balance between electricity production and consumption.

Developing Investable Indices
Define the Investment Framework
Establish the reference benchmark together with the investor’s climate-mitigation objective, exclusions and relevant portfolio constraints.
Start From the Core Methodology
Assess companies in high-impact sectors against the observed decarbonization trajectory of their relevant sector and region, while applying appropriate constraints
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.

From Real-Economy Decarbonization to Alignment……………………………………………………………
Alignment with the Real Economy.
SciX uses current regional and sectoral decarbonization trends as the reference for company alignment rather than assuming that equity portfolios can follow a pathway materially disconnected from the broader economy. The objective is to favour companies whose emissions trajectory is consistent with the pace of decarbonization in the economic activities to which they belong..
Focus on High-Impact Sectors
..
..
The alignment framework focuses on high-impact sectors, where greenhouse-gas emissions are most economically relevant. Companies outside these sectors are not forced through the same emissions-alignment framework, allowing portfolio construction to be driven primarily by financial risk-management considerations where climate differentiation is less material...
Energy-Consistent Portfolio Construction.
The transition to a lower-carbon economy requires sufficient energy production as well as lower emissions. SciX therefore complements emissions alignment with a portfolio-level energy-consistency constraint designed to avoid unintended biases between electricity-producing sectors and sectors with high electricity demand.
