In this supplement, we analyse ESG risks and their consequences for investors, assess the investment impact of climate risk on global infrastructure, and share our latest research findings on infrastructure investment portfolio construction and risk management.
P&I Supplement: Research for Institutional Money Management
We examine ESG risks and their implications for the investment community, the investment impact of climate risk on global infrastructure, and present our latest research insights into infrastructure investment portfolio construction and risk management.
Using Taxonomies to Qualify the Sustainability of Infrastructure Investments
This paper addresses the problem of mapping the infrastructure asset class to the activities of the EU Taxonomy. This mapping process not only tackles a crucial hurdle but also contributes to a deeper understanding of how green taxonomies can be effectively applied to the infrastructure asset class.
Computing Extreme Climate Value for Infrastructure Investments: Asset Pricing Applied to NGFS Phase 4 and Oxford Economics Scenarios
This paper describes the novel method that we have developed to measure climate risks. While we here apply this method to infrastructure assets, it paves the way to using similar approaches to enlarge the scope of its application.
Physical Climate Risk Survey: those in the infrastructure investment industry are concerned and lack data
Investors are concerned about physical climate risk and believe that they have almost no idea how it will affect unlisted infrastructure assets; that’s the clear message they delivered when we surveyed them on their views regarding the risks to the asset class.
Highway to Hell: Climate change will cost hundreds of billions to investors in infrastructure
This paper presents an assessment of transition and physical risks in the privately invested infrastructure sector. Leveraging the NGFS scenarios, we quantified the costs associated with delayed or uncoordinated transition and evaluated the potential portfolio value loss resulting from physical risks in the absence of climate action.
