Handbook for Climate-Related Investment across Asset Classes provides a guide for mission investors
David Wood, Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
The Boston College Institute for Responsible Investment has just published a Handbook for Climate-Related Investment across Asset Classes, a survey of portfolio-wide strategies for investors to manage the risks and opportunities related to climate change. It covers eight asset classes – cash, fixed-income, public equity, private equity, real estate, hedge funds, commodities, and infrastructure – and is meant to help investors:
• Devise a portfolio-wide strategy to climate-related investing;
• Identify the asset class specific considerations for climate-related investing; and
• Highlight existing and potential investment opportunities across asset
classes.
We hope that it is of use to mission investors as they consider how climate change can impact their endowments, and vice versa. The handbook is a followup to the Handbook on Responsible Investment Across Asset Classes published in late 2007.
