Investors are increasingly concerned about the link between climate change and their investments.
By publishing free-to-search ratings, the Climetrics rating 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.
The Climetrics rating provides the transparency needed to move capital towards funds which better support the low carbon transition. This can motivate companies to improve how they manage material climate issues.
Ultimately, this may result in fewer climate-related risks and more opportunities for investors.

What is the methodology behind the Climetrics rating?
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, the Climetrics rating 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 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. Top-rated funds better support the low-carbon transition.
This 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.
The Climetrics rating 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.
