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.
