Real Estate Exposure, Reimagined for Climate Risk
Insurance-grade climate and extreme-weather analytics. From individual properties to entire portfolios.
Redefining REIT Investing for a Changing Climate
Our approach builds on traditional REIT exposure by incorporating climate and extreme-weather resilience into the index methodology. The underlying index evaluates REIT-owned properties using insurance-grade models and data to assess risks from floods, hurricanes, wildfires, hail, wind, heat stress, water stress, sea-level rise, and other climate-related perils.
Unlike ESG, sustainability, or supply-chain-focused products, this approach does not use emissions metrics, qualitative scores, or exclusionary screens—it uses the same property-level and portfolio-level analytics and calibrated historical losses that insurers rely on to price premiums, construct insurance portfolios and evaluate risk.
Why Climate Risk Matters for Real Estate Investing
The CLIMX Index
The Climate Global - Climate-Resilient REIT Index identifies and tracks U.S. publicly listed REITs that demonstrate greater resilience to climate-related physical risks and extreme weather events.
