About SciX Climate Indices
Climate equity indices grounded in science, disciplined customization, and tight control of benchmark deviation and financial risk
SciX translates climate science, climate-risk data, and quantitative risk management into investable equity indices for institutional investors.
Key Value Drivers of SciX Climate Indices…………………………………………………………………………….
Each index is designed around a specific climate objective, with transparent assumptions and a clear account of what it does — and does not — seek to achieve.
Start from robust Core indices designed to deliver meaningful climate improvement while remaining very close to traditional benchmarks.
Refine climate objectives, exclusions, and portfolio constraints within a controlled and transparent index methodology.
Manage benchmark deviation, diversification, sector exposures, turnover, and other constraints so climate objectives remain compatible with investable portfolios.
Assess climate metrics, risk exposures, tracking error, and portfolio constraints as index design choices change.
Test index designs through backtests and simulated outcomes to understand relative and absolute financial consequences before implementation.
Challenges SciX Climate Indices Are Built to Address…………………………………………………….
Climate Is Not a Single Objective
..
..
Climate investing is often treated as a single sustainability objective. In practice, resilience, mitigation, adaptation, and other climate objectives address different problems and require different data, assumptions, and portfolio-construction choices.
....

One Size Does Not Fit
All
..
All
..
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.
....
....
Climate Objectives Must Remain Investable..
..
..
A relevant climate signal can be undermined by excessive concentration, unintended sector biases, or large deviations from the investor’s reference benchmark. Climate ambition must therefore be combined with disciplined financial risk management.

Initial Index Offering
Two Initial Climate Index Ranges: Physical Climate Resilience and Climate Mitigation
SciX is launching its climate index platform with two initial ranges. The Physical Climate Resilience Index Series integrates physical climate risks into core equity allocations through an investment-focused framework. The Climate Mitigation Index Series addresses decarbonization and climate solutions through a pragmatic approach designed around institutional portfolio constraints.
Together, these initial ranges illustrate the broader SciX approach: clearly defined climate objectives translated into scientifically grounded, financially disciplined, and investable index methodologies.

From Objective to Index……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Define the Climate Objective
Identify the climate objective the index should address together with the investor’s benchmark, exclusions, financial constraints, and implementation requirements.
Start From a Core Index
Begin with a robust Core Index designed to implement the selected climate objective while maintaining tight control of benchmark deviation and portfolio risk.
Customize and Evaluate
Refine the methodology where needed and use live analytics, backtesting, and simulation to assess the climate and financial consequences of design choices before implementation.
From Climate Research to Investable Indices
The EDHEC Climate Ecosystem
SciX Climate Index Methodology
From Principles to Practice: How SciX Climate Indices Work…………………………………………..
Scientific Rigor, Practical Robustness
Climate investing involves long horizons, imperfect data, and significant uncertainty. SciX uses the best available research while focusing on data and models that can be translated robustly into index construction. The objective is not false precision, but methodologies whose assumptions, limitations, and financial consequences can be understood and explained.
Core Indices and Disciplined Customization
SciX starts from robust Core indices designed around clearly defined climate objectives and to remain very close to traditional benchmarks. Investors can then refine objectives and constraints through a controlled customization framework. Investors define what they want to achieve; SciX determines how to translate those priorities into a transparent and investable index methodology.
Financial Risk Management and Live Analytics
SciX combines an original financial risk model, robust optimization, live analytics, backtesting, and simulation to make climate index construction compatible with institutional portfolio constraints. Investors can compare designs with benchmarks, assess risk and climate consequences, test alternatives, and understand trade-offs before implementation.
