Case studies for?asset owners

Democracy-screened ESG emerging market government bond indices

FTSE Russell partnered with Swiss Federal Pension Fund PUBLICA to design a democracy filter for its ESG emerging market sovereign bond universe.

Integrating climate risk into listed infrastructure

As an asset class, listed infrastructure has a number of attractive investment characteristics, but it’s often carbon-intensive. Mercer asked us to find a way to help their clients access the asset class while pursuing a climate transition pathway.

Aligning sustainable investment objectives across asset classes

As a signatory to the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this leading asset owner engaged FTSE Russell to create custom SDG-aligned benchmarks for their equity and fixed income portfolios, aligning their sustainable investment objectives across asset classes.

A benchmark designed to increase transparency and disclosure in capital markets and improve corporate performance?

The FTSE Blossom Japan Index was developed with input from the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) in Japan for their first passive investment to track an ESG index. Their objective was to improve the effectiveness of stewardship and engagement within a passive mandate.
