Presentation of the Partnership
EDHEC-Risk Institute (now EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute) and Pensions & Investments have established a partnership to produce a special quarterly editorial supplement to provide Pensions & Investments readers with industry-relevant research of the highest academic standards.
Pensions & Investments (P&I), the leading bi-weekly international money management newspaper for pension, portfolio and investment management executives, based in New York and Chicago, produce regular supplements containing research contributions from EDHEC-Risk Climate Impact Institute.
Over fifteen supplements have been published following the inaugural issue in November 2013.
The April 2024 edition of the Research for Institutional Money Management supplement to P&I is an EDHEC Climate Finance Special. In this issue, we present groundbreaking research extending climate scenario analysis. The current framework, designed to inform public policy, cannot properly serve the needs of investors: alternative scenarios are presented without probabilities and fail to convey the uncertainty in climate outcomes. Our lead article demonstrates how to create probability distributions of climate outcomes, helping investors appreciate the degree of uncertainty they face and determine which potential realizations should command greater attention. Building on these advances, two related articles highlight underappreciated risks that investors need to be aware of. In the wake of the SEC's decision to mandate climate disclosures, another two articles examine the relevance, limitations, and risks associated with disclosures of internal carbon prices and value chain emissions. A final contribution, supported by Amundi, explores how weather events influence mutual fund managers' investment decisions.
The April 2023 edition of the Research for Institutional Money Management supplement to P&I is an EDHEC Climate and Finance Special. It covers several research issues that have relevance for the investment industry today. We first describe how the oft-criticised models linking the economy and the planet's climate can be upgraded to include the latest advances of science. We introduce a factor that captures both the sectoral and intra-sectoral dimensions of transition risks. We analyze the outperformance of low-carbon energy infrastructure investments over the past decade and find that it is largely explained by excess demand. We use advanced econometric methods to explore the relationship between stock returns and proxies for environmental footprint and use a variety of language models to construct climate news indices. Finally, we introduce and discuss the characteristics of long-term climate scenarios, such as those developed by the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and look at their operationalization for climate-financial risk assessment, their current limitations and their potential for further development.
