Dutch financials make significant progress with PCAF carbon accounting methodology

The number of Dutch banks, insurance companies and pension funds working on calculating the climate impact of their loans and investments is growing. Seventeen financials with a total assets under management of 2 trillion euros are now part of the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), which has developed a carbon accounting methodology to map the carbon emissions of loans and investments.

Asset Allocation Outlook December

The MSCI global equity index noted gains for the third month in a row in November. A difference was discernible though between industrialised countries, which saw prices rise, and the slight price decreases in emerging markets. Capital market yields rose further, while the US saw an end to falling yields at the short end of the yield curve. This caused the spread on long-term and short-term yields to widen, which is a positive sign for the business cycle. The reasons behind the positive mood on the markets continue to be hopes of a trade agreement between the US and China, the diminishing risk of a hard Brexit and the bottoming-out of a number of leading economic indicators. We have reduced our cash position by expanding our overweight in emerging market debt. Our underweight in equities has been kept unchanged, however, as we still believe that the equity markets have priced in an excessively positive scenario for corporate earnings.

Kempen's Commentary

Before you start reading: please don’t take the following personally. It’s others and not you. The reason for this is that I have some bad news: we are not getting any smarter. In fact, we are all getting dumber. At least that’s what recent IQ tests suggest.
