San Carlos, CA — March 12, 2026 — Climate Global and Exchange Traded Concepts today announced the Climate Global – Climate-Resilient REIT Index ETF (Ticker: CLIM), an exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to U.S. equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) while systematically incorporating insurance-grade climate and extreme-weather risk analytics into portfolio construction. CLIM is the first REIT benchmark to directly integrate Moody's physical risk models — based on the same analytical infrastructure global insurers and reinsurers use to price policies and manage capital — into U.S. public equity REIT investing.

"Climate and extreme-weather events are increasing in frequency and severity, impacting industries beyond insurance," said Michael Steel, Head of Insurance Solutions at Moody's. "Moody's is proud to support the use of the insurance industry's leading catastrophe models in new applications, such as ETF and Index of REITs weighted by our climate and extreme-weather risk analytics."

"Real estate is inherently a physical, geographically fixed asset class," said Moe Khosravy, Partner at Climate Global. "The risks are location-specific and driven in part by both long-term climate trends and acute extreme weather events. For decades, the insurance industry has invested substantial sums in catastrophe modeling to quantify potential economic loss across a broad set of perils including flood, hurricane, wildfire, hail, wind, tornado, heat stress, water stress, sea level rise and more. These models are calibrated to historical claims data and built to estimate loss under forward-looking hazard simulations. CLIM brings that standard of rigor into public markets."

"Insurers have some of the most economic skin in the game when it comes to climate and extreme weather risk," said Travis Deyle, Partner at Climate Global. "These models are used in a complex and multifaceted environment that helps decide how they commit capital, price policies, determine coverage and pay claims. CLIM applies that loss-calibrated, economically grounded framework to U.S. equity REITs — embedding property-level and portfolio-level risk measurement within a transparent, rules-based structure."
