Entelligent and S-Network Launch Smart Climate® Risk 50 Direct Index on SMArtX
DENVER, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Entelligent in partnership with S-Network Global Indexes, an Alerian company and publisher of proprietary and custom indexes, is pleased to announce the launch of the S-Network Smart Climate® Risk 50 Index as a direct index strategy on the SMArtX Turnkey Asset Management Platform (TAMP).
The S-Network Smart Climate® Risk 50 Index is designed to identify companies making the greatest efforts towards addressing risks related to climate change, as these firms may have the greatest potential for environmental and valuation impact. Underpinning the index is the Smart Climate® methodology which seeks to give positive grades to companies focused on making the fastest transition to a low carbon economy. The overall strategy is an outcome of an analytics platform that analyzes how changes in cost, demand and supply of energy under different climate scenarios will impact security level profitability.
"Entelligent Smart Climate® technology is the first system to quantify the changing sensitivity of individual stocks to a variety of fuel prices over time and deduce the rate at which these companies are moving away from fossil fuel dependence," said Tom Stoner, CEO of Entelligent. "We are extremely excited that there is now a product that can give retail investors easy access to our powerful tool to aid in shifting capital materials to materially address climate change," said Stoner.
"We believe the S-Network Smart Climate® Risk 50 Index reduces exposure to climate risk by evaluating the potential impact of new laws, advanced technologies, as well as physical risk factors to forecast energy costs and their granular impact on each company," said Patrick Shaddow, Head of Index Operations at S-Network Global Indexes. "We look forward to our partnership with Entelligent and the continued growth of our direct index offerings on SMArtX," noted Shaddow.
SMArtX is the first UMA platform providing advisors access to institutional quality managers offering traditional, alternative, and passive index investment strategies, as well as individual securities, mutual funds, and ETFs, in a single brokerage account.
