Through our investment strategies we provide clients access to the opportunities of (regulated) carbon markets which trade carbon allowances.

With a low correlation to Fixed Income and Equities, Carbon Allowances play an important role in carbon emission mitigation¹. Carbon markets, a rapidly growing global asset class, are receiving more and more attention from institutional investors. In 2022, the trade volume of globally regulated emission rights rose to a record of 865 billion EUR. Most of this volume (87%) comes from the European Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). Due to the success of the EU ETS, more and more economic areas around the world are adopting a market-based “Cap and Trade” system, with the result that almost 18% of annual emissions worldwide are now covered under an Emissions Trading Scheme.

Munich Re Investment Partners, recognises that carbon markets and corporate climate transition are heavily connected, with compliance carbon markets as an important policy tool to achieve decarbonisation in the real economy². 

Munich Re’s Group Climate Investment Conviction Statement: “We see a sufficiently high, sector-overarching carbon price (either by means of a tax or an emission trading system) as the preferred, technology-neutral policy instrument to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to net zero as fast as possible.”
