World ESG Reduced Carbon Select 20 35 Capped Indexes Intro

Over the last several years, investors around the world have chosen to incorporate their ESG preferences, goals or regulatory requirements into their investment strategy. ESG integration began with core equity regional portfolio building blocks, then extended to fixed income. It too has evolved to encompass the entire asset allocation process, including sector portfolios and indexed funds.

The MSCI World ESG Reduced Carbon Select 20 35 Capped Indexes are designed to support investors that seek to increase exposure to positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and aim to reduce the carbon-equivalent exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG), as well as to lower their exposure to potential emissions risk of fossil fuel reserves relative to the respective sector parent indexes.

Changing Sectors, Changing Correlations
