Custom Sustainable Indices

Our expertise in sustainable and factor investing empowers us to deliver custom sustainable index solutions that meet your financial objectives. For example, our SDG Low-Carbon and Climate indices serve as a sustainable alternative to passive investing, while our multi-factor indices strive to outperform the market in a sustainable way. Our offerings enable our clients to align with positive impact, lower carbon footprints and mitigate climate transition risk.
