Our funds are designed to offer exposure to long-term growth potential from the transition towards sustainable business models, without compromising on diversification and risk objectives.
We vet every index and strategy for sector, country and style exposures to ensure our solutions are truly aligned with specific investment objectives.
We offer solutions for your clients looking to invest in securities positioned for growth based on a range of climate-related risk and opportunity metrics, while achieving broad exposure to equity markets.
SPDR Carbon Aware ETFs
Using carbon emissions data from S&P Global Trucost, these ETFs aim to overweight or underweight companies with lower or higher levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per unit of revenue. Each ETF also excludes companies that fail to pass minimum thresholds for ESG scores and those deriving material revenue from certain objectionable practices, industries or product lines.
State Street Climate ESG International Equity Fund
Using a range of climate metrics – from Carbon Risk Ratings to green revenues and implied temperature rise, the Fund deploys a climate-aware investment strategy while targeting diversified exposure to large and mid-cap global equities.
The Fund also seeks exposure to companies achieving a high sustainability rating based on our proprietary R-Factor scoring methodology. It excludes companies with material involvement in certain business activities, those with severe ESG controversies and those considered to be in violation of UN Global Compact principles.
We do not screen out companies with less significant violations of the United Nations Global Compact or those with less impactful ESG controversies.
For your clients looking to increase the sustainability profile of their portfolio, we offer two ETFs targeting exposure to assets with improved sustainability characteristics compared with peers and/or the broader industry.
