Aligning Portfolios with the Low-Carbon Transition: Climate Transition Euro Corporate Bond Strategy

State Street Global Advisors outlines how its Climate Transition Euro Corporate Bond Beta Strategy integrates sustainability screening with index-based efficiency to capture long-term value in the Euro corporate bond market.

• Investment focus: Tracks the Bloomberg Euro Aggregate Corporate Bond Index while excluding high-emission or non-compliant issuers and prioritizing green and climate-aligned bonds.

• Performance: Delivered 2.78% YTD (gross) as of Q3 2025, closely matching the benchmark’s 2.76%.

• Methodology: Uses implied temperature rise (ITR) and carbon risk rating (CRR) metrics to tilt toward issuers best positioned for the low-carbon transition.

How might this data-driven, indexed approach help investors combine climate impact with benchmark-level efficiency?
