Longspur Research and Radnor Capital Partners have launched the Active Net Zero Clean Energy Index to allow investors to measure the performance of companies actively enabling climate solutions.The key emphasis is on the word “active”. This pan-European index eliminates greenwashing by penalising fossil fuel activities and focuses on actual achievement and positive contribution, rather than promises for the future. Our proprietary selection methodology is systematic, rules based and quantifiable. The methodology is aligned with the EU Taxonomy, the IPCC 1.5oC Report pathways, and the IEA Roadmap.In this note, we examine the Active Net Zero Clean Energy Index performance as well as breaking down the Active Net Zero Clean Energy Universe into its individual components. We also examine the growth of the Climate & Energy themed fund universe and explore what exposure these funds actually offer to investors.
