Combining MSCI’s climate data and analytical
risk and portfolio management capabilities, Climate Lab supports
investors with enterprise-scale monitoring and management of
net-zero commitments
MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI), a leading provider of investment
decision support tools and services, today announced the launch of
MSCI Climate Lab, a new application for enterprise-level monitoring
and management of climate and financial risks for investors.
Combining MSCI’s strengths in climate modeling, financial risk
management and portfolio analytics, the application provides
investors with the data and tools they need to track and assess
companies’ progress towards net-zero commitments and align their
portfolios with climate targets for a net-zero future.
MSCI Climate Lab arrives at a critical time as large
institutional investors increasingly look to align capital with
net-zero targets and steer the world onto a path towards a
sustainable future. With Climate Lab, MSCI introduces a solution
built for institutional investors managing a large-scale transition
of portfolios to meet net-zero goals and to manage the underlying
complex and vast amounts of data supporting the analysis of those
portfolios. Climate Lab combines MSCI’s climate data and financial
modeling capabilities across multiple asset classes on one
easy-to-use platform to assess trends, identify leaders and
laggards, and run scenario analysis from the enterprise to the
issuer level. In particular, MSCI Climate Lab will enable
aggregation at the portfolio level of the recently released company
Implied Temperature Rise solution. Investors will be able to
monitor the forward-looking metric across all the funds they
manage.
“The decisions of the financial industry will influence the
economic transition towards the net-zero revolution and will
permanently change how we allocate capital and manage investment
strategies. However, net-zero strategies and commitments will bring
a new set of challenges, not just in the shifting allocation of
capital, but in garnering insight on portfolios from the data
needed to support the investment process and in the business-wide
transition to net-zero,” said Remy Briand, Global Head of ESG
and Climate, MSCI. “With Climate Lab, investors finally have
the tools to transition their existing investment strategies to
net-zero. For chief executives and business leaders, the solution
brings a new level of transparency and coordination that ensures
crucial climate progress is being made across every level of the
organization. This is a vital step in making the net-zero
revolution a reality.”
MSCI Climate Lab enables investors to:
- Access market-leading climate data across multiple asset
classes, including data on carbon emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3),
temperature alignment, company net-zero targets, and scenario
analysis;
- Access datasets and analysis from MSCI’s robust climate
solutions toolkit, including the recently launched Implied
Temperature Rise and Target Scorecard;
- Identify and understand climate risk exposures and trends at
the enterprise level across all your funds and portfolios;
- Assess and manage portfolio alignment with the Paris
Agreement;
- Forecast enterprise climate emissions based upon issuer targets
and explore forward-looking hypothetical scenarios; and
- Compare companies’ carbon budget to their projected carbon
emissions and identify issuers that they may want to engage with on
their climate and emissions strategies.
“Many of the world’s largest institutions are repositioning
their portfolios to meet climate targets, and up until now the
technology has not been in place to allow for a swift, scalable and
effective understanding and management of climate exposure across
all funds and portfolios. At MSCI, we are focused on turning large
datasets into actionable insights that our clients can apply across
their portfolios. On average, we process 70 million positions and
one trillion asset valuations daily,” said Jorge Mina, Head of
Analytics, MSCI. “Climate Lab brings together the climate,
analytical and technological capabilities of MSCI for clients to
immediately start monitoring and managing their own net-zero
transitions.”
The launch of Climate Lab underscores MSCI’s continued
commitment to develop new investing solutions to accelerate capital
markets’ role in fighting the climate crisis. The solution was in
part developed in collaboration with Microsoft, as one piece of a
broader strategic partnership between the businesses.
