Europe's new benchmark index for sustainability and corporate water stewardship
Wilmington, Jan 29, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Thomas Schumann Capital® (TSC), is pleased to announce the launch of the Thomas Schumann Water Risk Index Euro 50, the first index that captures and prices water management risk in securities.
We believe this groundbreaking index will be Europe's new benchmark for sustainability. Here's why:
- The Thomas Schumann Water Risk Index EURO 50 has outperformed the EURO STOXX 50 by a stunning 54% or 15 percentage points since 2010 -- all while being in the same volatility bracket.
- Nearly a third of the world is subject to water stress, a crisis that only promises to get worse with intensifying climate change. Changes in access to water will have transformational effects on businesses, creating winners and losers -- and creating significant new investment opportunities.
- Thomas Schumann Water Risk Index EURO 50 index empowers and educates investors, giving them an informational edge that will achieve long-term alpha while supporting companies that have good ESG practices.
- TSC has assembled a powerful collaboration between solutions providers who, together, stand to disrupt traditional investment practices and set a new industry standard for financial outperformance and sustainability:
- TSC worked with Equarius Risk Analytics to leverage its waterBeta® technology, which calculates asset-level water risk using AI/ML models that link financial and facility-level data to enable investments for corporate climate transitioning.
- The new benchmark index was also developed in collaboration with FastINDX, an AI-based cloud platform for index and portfolio management that is focused on providing a 10x-100x efficiency and performance increase over traditional portfolio solutions.
