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.
