Ivka Kalus, CIO of Promethos Capital, having spent more than two decades managing global and international portfolios, believes that climate change poses significant risk, but also opportunity, for companies across all global regions and sectors. The Global Climate Resilience strategy is a diversified, concentrated portfolio investing in companies around the world that proactively manage the impact of climate change on their business and those that are focused on moderating or reversing the pace and severity of climate change impact.
Ivka said, “We have examined the market implications of climate change across all sectors and see significant potential for companies’ stock values to benefit from applying climate resilient strategies. Capital is a powerful tool to drive meaningful change, and our role is to help our clients channel that capital to achieve their financial and values-based goals. Applying our time tested quantamental investment process and proprietary climate materiality evaluation by sector, Promethos identifies market leaders across regions and sectors.”
John Linnehan, President, said, “Companies across all industries need to manage the implications of climate change. Investment managers must be vigilant on evaluating the implications of client change on portfolios and as a core business risk. We believe our investors will benefit from investing in climate-resilient companies who are well-placed to make a meaningful positive impact on the environment.” Many portfolios want to do no harm and the Climate Resilience offering provides a core, broadly diversified investment strategy that achieves those objectives for investors’ portfolios.
John added that, “Ivka is a pioneer in designing and managing high integrity, intentional investment strategies. The Climate Resilience strategy is a unique approach to realize investor returns while addressing a critical social and business issue.”
