EU Paris Aligned Benchmark Overlay Indexes
Get indexes based on a methodology designed to meet the minimum standards of the EU Paris Aligned Benchmark (PAB) — standards the EU says an index must meet to align with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C.
A PAB overlay index that excludes certain categories of fossil-fuel intensive companies, for example, would make further adjustments to reduce the index-level carbon intensity to meet PAB criteria.
Use Climate Paris Aligned Indexes as:
- A basis for index-based strategies such as mutual funds, ETFs, derivatives and structured products
