Climate Alpha: Outperformance from Our Thematic Allocation

In a geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape increasingly marked by energy shocks and other resource bottlenecks, our Climate Alpha portfolio is holding up better than broad benchmarks. From January 1 to April 30, [1] the portfolio is up 10.9% while the VOO ETF (S&P 500) [2] is only up 5.73% and the ACWIETF [3] is up 6.97%.

Climate Alpha is a concentrated, high-conviction strategy that focuses on a narrow set of long-term climate themes: sustainable infrastructure and water, as well as broader adaptation and mitigation solutions.[4] Its returns have historically outperformed our broader unified managed account(UMA) models, with performance competitive versus U.S. and global equity benchmarks, on both a gross and net basis.
