From Article 9 to the EU Taxonomy, from the UK’s Transition Plan Taskforce to BaFin, the pressure is rising for finance and investment to gain a full understanding of their portfolio’s climate impact. With our new additions to XDC Portfolio Explorer we’ve just made that a lot easier. Here’s an overview of the changes we’ve made:
Introducing Sovereign Bonds
XDC Portfolio Explorer: Sovereign Bonds Module
You can now access the °C values for government bonds of over 165 countries through XDC Portfolio Explorer. This optional module allows you to measure and manage the temperature alignment of your multi-asset portfolio covering listed equity, corporate bonds, as well as sovereign bonds through one simple platform.
NGFS, IEA or OECM – you choose
The global goal is clear: to limit global warming to 1.5°C or at least well below 2°C. But there are different roadmaps or ‘mitigation scenarios’ to get us there. From now on, you can specify which of these benchmarks you want to measure your portfolio against. Choose between 2°C, 1.75°C or 1.5°C scenarios from the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) or the One Earth Climate Model (OECM).
Select your SSP
The forward-looking projections made in our XDC calculations are based on assumptions about emissions and economic growth derived from the so-called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). These are widely recognized narratives about different futures, ranging from ‘Sustainability’ (SSP1) or ‘Fossil-fueled Development’ (SSP5) to ‘Middle of the Road / Current Trends Continue’ (SSP2). XDC Portfolio Explorer now lets you choose which of the five narratives should be used to calculate the Baseline XDCs in your portfolio.
