Innovations in ESG Investing: World's first ETF focusing on carbon AVOIDANCE, a much better impact than carbon reducers

Meet Gabriela Herculano who created a new ETF (CLMA) that focuses on companies that directly enable CARBON AVOIDANCE in order to reach climate change goals, unlike other ESG or climate change products that might focus on companies reducing their own carbon footprint or lack quantification of potential carbon avoidance.

It is therefore the world’s first climate change UCITS ETF that shifts the focus from companies’ emission reduction actions, to companies offering products and services that directly enable CO2e avoidance solutions and shines a spotlight on climate change innovators.

CLMA tracks the iClima Global Decarbonisation Enablers Index which is designed to measure the performance of securities from five sub-sectors including green energy, green transportation, water and waste improvements, decarbonisation enabling solutions and sustainable products.

In this session we also examine:

- What's the universe of "carbon avoiders" (number of companies and sub-sectors) the ETF covers?
- How are the positions weighted?
- What has been the performance?
- How is the data sourced to identify the "carbon avoiders"?
