Japanese investors are increasingly seeking to mitigate climate risks, capture climate opportunities from the green economy and ensure alignment with Net Zero by 2050 in their portfolios. The market has taken evolutionary steps as it has developed from relatively simple risk-based implementation options—such as creating "ex fossil fuel" or "low carbon" portfolios—to approaches that also capture the potential upside from the transition to a low carbon economy and a net zero pathway.
As climate transition benchmarks are becoming an important tool for investors, the FTSE JPX Net Zero Japan Index Series, based on JPX’s well-tracked TOPIX 500 is combined with FTSE Russell’s expertise in climate data, target exposure methodology, and index design.
