Key takeaways:
- Our proprietary Climate Transition Assessment (CTA) assesses and scores issuers through a detailed ‘4-As’ method (Ambitions, Actions, Accountability, Achievements) to help identify material climate risks and opportunities.
- Incorporating CTA scores into investment analysis enables investors to more effectively identify companies that are on a credible path towards decarbonisation. This approach helps to mitigate risks associated with weakly positioned issuers and supports the pursuit of positive financial outcomes. By integrating these risks and opportunities into portfolio construction, investors can better position their strategies to contribute to global decarbonisation goals while managing long-term climate-related risks.
- Leveraging analyses from our CTA enables us to further evaluate companies actual decarbonisation efforts within out Transition Readiness Framework (TRF), focusing on substantive measures rather than just declared intentions.
At Janus Henderson Investors , our primary focus is on growing and managing our clients” capital while fulfilling our fiduciary responsibilities, which includes an assessment of companies’ climate transition relate risks and opportunities. To support our clients’ decarbonisation objectives, we have developed our propriety CTA and TRF which can be used to offer enhanced solutions tailored to these goals.
In summary: using the CTA as the centrepiece, the TRF is closely aligned with the Net Zero Investment Framework and is specifically designed to support investor committed to aligning their strategies and portfolios with the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.
