Scientific Beta

Institutional Asset Manager: "The “green” premium, which has not yet been scientifically and empirically demonstrated, will be able to play out as a long-term complement to performance, but Scientific Beta's green and smart beta indices already produce performance by relying on the consensual state-of-the-art in academia in the area of factor investing and portfolio diversification."

ERI Scientific Beta has launched a new series of low carbon smart beta indices designed to allow institutional investors to reduce the carbon footprint of their equity investments by more than 80 per cent, while outperforming traditional market indices. The indices aim to create more than 50 per cent additional value in the medium term. For the green indices produced by ERI Scientific Beta, the idea is to offer access to short and medium-term outperformance by using consensual results from financial research. The “green” premium, which has not yet been scientifically and empirically demonstrated, will be able to play out as a long-term complement to performance, but Scientific Beta's green and smart beta indices already produce performance by relying on the consensual state-of-the-art in academia in the area of factor investing and portfolio diversification.
