SPS ESG & Sustainable Asset Strategies for Pension Funds

GMO Climate Change Investing

We believe climate change is among the most important investment issues facing investors today. Exceptional opportunities for long-term investors abound in a world mobilizing to address climate change.

Profitability associated with efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change are largely independent of the global economy. Climate change investors benefit from this unique source of return which complements a traditional portfolio.

Climate change investing remains an inefficient sector that is poorly understood. There are ample opportunities for value added through active management, a global approach, and a value discipline.
