Anyone involved in the management of pension schemes is usually well-versed in the traditional metrics used to understand the performance and risks of an investment. These include investment returns, volatility, alpha and beta, correlations, perhaps a ratio or two for the particularly keen.

However, these traditional metrics fail to adequately support decision-makers when considering the climate-related risks and opportunities their portfolios face, and it can often seem like accessing robust climate metrics is an unrealistic ambition. The good news is that there is an ever-increasing array of climate-related data and metrics to which we can now turn.

This paper looks at some of these metrics, examines why they matter, highlights some of their limitations, and asks how we might benefit from using them.

Read our paper to find out:

• What these new climate-related metrics are
• Why they should be used
• What their limitations might be
• How, via a detailed case study, an investment manager can use and disclose climate-related metrics
