Investors are increasingly concerned about the link between climate change and their investments.
By publishing free-to-search ratings, Climetrics enables all investors to make well informed decisions; finding funds that invest in companies better at managing material issues related to climate change, water security and deforestation.
Climetrics provides the transparency needed to move capital towards more climate-resilient funds. This can motivate companies around the world to improve how they manage material environmental risks and opportunities.
Ultimately, this may result in fewer climate-related risks and more opportunities for investors as the economy transitions to a low carbon, sustainable model.

The scoring system is based on three quantitative layers of analysis. These are each fund's portfolio holdings, its investment policy, and the asset manager’s governance of climate issues. This results in an overall score for each fund, which is compared to all scored funds and then assigned a final 1-5 leaf rating.
At the portfolio holdings level, Climetrics uses a bespoke methodology to score companies’ performance. This is done across three interrelated themes: reducing GHG emissions, managing water resources and tackling deforestation.
A top Climetrics rating indicates that, on average, the companies in a fund‘s portfolio are better at disclosing and managing material climate, water and deforestation issues, compared to those in lower rated funds.
The Climetrics methodology is strongly aligned with the TCFD recommendations. It integrates TCFD-aligned CDP scores for companies in its evaluation of portfolio holdings, and tracks asset managers’ TCFD-based reporting through the PRI reporting framework.
Asset managers do not need to apply to receive a rating. Climetrics independently rates any available fund in the available universe, providing that at least 60% of the portfolio’s assets under management have Climetrics company level scores.
Climetrics uses market-leading company data from CDP and ISS-ESG. It also draws fromadditional data sources, such as from the Science-Based Targets initiative and RE100.
