We need to leverage this data to offer more options to investors who wish to shift from exclusionary approaches to positive screening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To that end, benchmark indices provide clear, transparent, standardized approaches to capture the risks and opportunities represented in these data sets or to positively screen for certain themes or characteristics<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as transition, climate, and biodiversity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Integrating climate considerations into sustainable investing has been a challenge due to the absence of credible benchmarks and reliable, comparable climate-related data. Would you agree? Where are we now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People want a better understanding of the implications of incorporating sustainable considerations in their portfolios or benchmarks, from both a financial and impact point of view. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve seen a proliferation of data in the market that allows for the representation of different sustainable approaches within benchmarks or portfolios. But we need to be confident that the data we use in our indices is of the highest quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data developed by Bloomberg\u2014which we\u2019ve increasingly been using in indices\u2014is highly transparent and undoubtedly clear. If someone wants to drill down and really understand what\u2019s behind the numbers, they can find exactly where the number came from. I think that&#8217;s an important thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a benchmark index provider, what we&#8217;re looking to do is take these many different data sets that are being developed for the market and create a clear rules-based standard process to integrate them so that, as investors, you can \u2018kick the tires,\u2019 so to speak. You can say, all right, how does this affect performance? How does this affect risk characteristics? It can be a starting point to think about a sustainable investment approach.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-card  quote\" id=\"card_2\" data-card_type=\"no_image\">\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"bbg-card__innerwrapper\">\n    <div class=\"bbg-card__content\">\n      \n      \n      \n              <div class=\"bbg-card__wysiwyg bb-wysiwyg\"><div class=\"noBackground\"\n><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"quotebody\">\n<p class=\"large\">&#8220;U<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ltimately, sustainable investing is about incorporating new data and new information.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cite\">\n<p>\n          <strong>Chris Hackel, Head of Sustainable Indices at Bloomberg<\/strong><br \/>\n          <span class=\"attribution\"><\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><b>What\u2019s the current appetite like for fixed income?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fixed income has traditionally been a laggard in sustainable investing. Usually, a theme plays out on the equity side first, and then people start looking at it in fixed income. A lot of that is because fixed income indices are immensely complex; you have many different types of issuing entities, different maturities, etc. at play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But fixed income is where we&#8217;re seeing some of the strongest interest from clients right now, especially with asset owners. There&#8217;s already a lot that&#8217;s been done on the equity side, and people want to round out the multi-asset perspective. So, fixed income is a big growth area for sustainable investing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What advice would you give to those attempting to integrate biodiversity, ESG scores, and climate considerations into decision-making?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Climate change, energy transition, and other factors are creating new opportunities and risks for investors. For example, the global shift from fossil fuels to renewable and clean energy sources is creating an opportunity to invest in companies that are providing solutions for the low-carbon economy or effectively managing the transition away from high-emissions products and services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But ultimately, sustainable investing is about incorporating new data and new information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to understand better the risk-to-performance implications of integrating these themes, indices are the right starting point. If you&#8217;re reading about something and wonder how it may affect performance and equities and fixed income, etc. then indices are a great place to look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Where does Canada currently stand in terms of climate transition benchmarks, and how has it impacted sustainable investment?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">European countries have been the leaders in terms of sustainable investment, while most other countries around the world are in earlier stages. European countries banded together to say, \u2018We want to make the economy more resilient, more sustainable long-term and want to address things like climate change through the financial sector,\u2019 and so regulation has been put in place to really drive that forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, what we\u2019ve been seeing globally are more regulatory initiatives that are bringing transparency to the objectives of sustainable funds and indices. This transparency should help investors better evaluate these approaches against their own financial and, possibly, non-financial investment objectives. That\u2019s what will drive sustainable investing forward in Canada and elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div
