Scientific Beta

Institutional Asset Manager: "Scientific Beta has launched a unique series of Climate Impact Consistent Indices (CICI) that make investment decisions and engagement practices consistent in order to maximise their impact. The CICI offering is the only pure climate index offering on the market. Unlike traditional climate indices and benchmarks, which combine financial and climate criteria, either in the form of tilts applied to reference cap weights, or of carbon intensity score optimisation under tracking error constraints, the CIC indices make the weights of stocks depend solely on their climate performance."

This strong methodological choice provides the CIC index with all of its consistency by avoiding financial considerations contradicting climate considerations. (...)"
