Whilst country-Specific carbon indices are often too narrow for index-linked products, they are invaluable as carbon performance benchmarks for climate change mitigation and planning.
The iEdge-OCBC index, along with the broad-based iEdge Singapore Low Carbon Index (SGLCN INDEX), consistently outperformed (backcast) comparable indices, often with lower volatility.

<p>For our next Webinar, Analyst <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/profiles/kyle-rudden" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="accounts:4495" rel="noopener">Kyle Rudden</a> continues his series on ESG, in collaboration with <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/singapore-exchange-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1047" rel="noopener">SGX (SGX SP)</a>. Typically, ESG conversations are "long-only equity". Historically, that was the only context for ESG. But ESG is making its way into other asset classes and non-traditional (for ESG) situations. Sovereign ESG is a hot topic lately (Russia/Ukraine). So, too, is ESG and private equity, venture capital, and M&amp;A. And short-selling… that looming (supposedly) "Big Short" as hedge funds short-sell their way to carbon-neutral portfolios (a debated strategy). This Webinar, part 6 in the series, will cover ESG from alt-angles. </p>
<h3>The webinar will be hosted on Wednesday, 30 March 2022, 17:00 SGT/HKT.</h3>

<p>Kyle Rudden is an ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analyst with an alpha-centric approach to ESG research. After all, ESG investing is, first and foremost, investing. "Alpha-centric" does not mean apathetic, however. Quite the contrary. Kyle believes global sustainability – i.e., environmental stewardship, social equality, and economic prosperity – is imperative, and private-sector capital is its cornerstone. Private-sector capital still has fiduciary responsibilities. Profitability is necessary for sustained impact. The Triple Bottom Line. People, Planet, AND Profit.</p>
