Building Efficient Climate Resilient Indices

About this event

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.

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?
