Frédéric Ducoulombier, ESG Director at Scientific Beta, will be co-hosting a Responsible Investor webinar on 17 June, 2019 at 14:00 BST on the theme "Reconciling Low Carbon and Multifactor Investment" with Tony Hay, Publisher at Responsible Investor. 

Low-carbon and multifactor investing have registered rapid growth in recent years but their combination in a single strategy represents a challenge as popular factors tilt portfolios towards carbon-related assets and carbon-intensive activities.

In this webinar, Scientific Beta will discuss a portfolio construction that is consistent with the support of the transition to a low carbon economy, materially reduces exposure to transition risks and protects scientifically validated sources of financial performance:

• ESG incorporation philosophy protecting against greenwashing and datamining.
• Decarbonisation approaches incentivising the transition and reducing asset stranding and carbon intensity risks.
• Construction steps delivering Low Carbon multi-smart factor indices with high resilience to transition risks and outperformance relative to market indices.
