Institutional Investors Find Alpha in Climate Risk Matrices: Global Survey Finds

Author: Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation

Industry Group: Asset Managers

Research / Insights - 2020

The need to factor climate risk into portfolio management is clear – the outstanding challenge is “how?” Unfortunately, there is no standardized guidance regarding means to include physical climate risk into institutional portfolio management.

In response, this paper presents Climate Risk Matrices as a practical tool for institutional investors to integrate physical climate risk into portfolio management. In brief, a Climate Risk Matrix identifies the top 1-2 means by which extreme weather events (e.g., flood, fire, extremeheat, etc.) may negatively impact a specific industry sector, while identifying actions that a company within that sector could be expected to take to mitigate these risks.
