Credit Suisse issues a C8-based Actively Managed Certificate,  ‘Credit Suisse Active World ESG Certificate’

London, 03 August 2022 – C8, the pioneering fintech platform that offers investors the ability to use direct indexing across all liquid asset classes and investment styles, today announces that Credit Suisse has issued an Actively Managed Certificate, the ‘Credit Suisse Active World ESG Certificate’. This certificate combines the equity names in the Morningstar Developed Markets Sustainability 200 Index, with weights from C8’s proprietary equity factor overlay.

The stock universe comprises the 200 large-cap global companies with the highest ESG ratings, as researched by Morningstar Sustainalytics, a leading ESG research firm. Overlaid on this starting universe is C8’s proprietary factor-weighting methodology, which actively weights the stocks by 13 classic equity factors such as value, growth and quality. Over comparable periods, this ESG index performs as well as traditional non-ESG, market-cap weighted global equity indices.

Mattias Eriksson, Co-founder and CEO, C8 Technologies said: “We are delighted to contribute to the Credit Suisse Active World ESG Certificate. This certificate seeks to meet investor demand for high-quality ESG solutions, with the added benefit of equity factor-weighting. Equity factors target specific drivers of equity returns and, in this case, provides diversification relative to traditional market-cap weighted indices.”

Notes to Editors

The ISIN number of the ‘Credit Suisse Active World ESG Certificate’ is XS2455533666

C8 Weekly Bulletin:  Trend-following in Volatile Times – the C8 Way

BY JON WEBB
The first quarter of 2023 has been notable for its skittish financial markets. First, there was optimism that this year would prove calmer than 2022, followed by renewed concern about inflation and the impact of bond holdings in the US banking system. This culminated in the forced takeover of Credit Suisse at the weekend.  Traditional trend-following strategies performed strongly in 2022, but these rapid shifts in sentiment have proved more difficult to navigate. The SocGen CTA index is down 6% year-to-date, and down nearly 10% in the past week.    Here is the good news!  The C8 Global Active Futures index avoided this sell-off and remains up on the year.  Why the difference?  C8's proprietary allocation process selects from a wide range of trend and counter-trend strategies, and is responsive to volatility levels, so adapts more readily to changing market environments.

Thoughts From The Divide: Bumps and Jumps

BY JON WEBB
At the risk of sounding like we’re going soft on Jerry and his pirate crew of crack forecasters, one might almost feel bad for the folks at the Eccles building. Despite their manifest belief that current real rates are restrictive, the economic “party goers” seem to be finding it very easy to keep going with the available supplies of punch. The takeaway seems to be that it’s hard to stop a party when fiscal policy keeps adding to the punchbowl. Grannie Yellen seems to love a booze up, followed by a Chinese banquet, and if we were honest, we might admit that’s pretty much been our MO for the last 15 years Read more →
