Climetrics - The Climate Rating for Funds
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.

What is the methodology behind Climetrics?
Climetrics measures the climate risks and opportunities of a fund against all other funds in its sample. The scoring system is based on three quantitative layers of analysis: each fund's portfolio holdings, its investment policy, and the asset manager's governance. This results in an overall climate score for each fund, which is compared to all funds in the coverage and then assigned a final 1-5 leaf rating, with five being the best.
A top Climetrics rating (4 or 5-leaf rating) indicates that, on average, the companies in a fund‘s portfolio are more carbon efficient, better at publicly disclosing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities, and more likely to use key technologies supporting the energy transition.
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 from additional data sources, such as from the Science-Based Targets initiative and RE100.
