'Carbon' has become an investment issue. The scientific consensus is that the world needs to transition to a low-carbon emitting economy. This presentation explains how Dr Cox investment team constructed a market beta global listed equity fund aligned to the 2ºC global warming scenario. The fund currently has £2 billion invested.
The presentation will describe how the fund assigns investment weight according to our estimates for how well the companies we invest in are aligned with the Paris 2ºC global warming goal.
Finally, the presentation includes performance numbers plus results of an event study Dr Cox conducted to understand more about the performance attribution due to the fund’s ‘low carbon’ bias.
