Investment Objective & Strategy
The Corex Climate Impact portfolio seeks to maximize risk-adjusted returns while creating positive environmental impact. Positive environmental impact is defined by the reduction of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e). The Portfolio achieves this objective by employing principles of Responsible Investing (RI):
- The incorporation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into the selection and management of investments, with a specific focus on the reduction of carbon intensity.
- A dedicated allocation to impact investments such as impact equities and green bonds, which contribute to an overall net negative carbon footprint.
- Partnering with asset managers that demonstrate the highest commitment to Responsible Investing, specially in the areas of ESG Incorporation and Stewardship.
