C8 are delighted that Arabesque has joined the C8 ecosystem. Arabesque have a well-respected ESG ratings business, S-Ray, as well as an innovative AI-driven investment allocation platform, combining both to be the world’s first AI ESG fund manager.  We then illustrate how C8 Studio can be used to build a portfolio of their AI ESG indices.

Arabesque Investment Process

Combination of Arabesque AI ESG Indices

on C8 Studio

Selecting the five Arabesque Global ESG indices on C8 Studio, these indices can then be combined using C8’s proprietary methodology, Tactical Asset Allocation.  For diversification we use a minimum of three of the five indices each year, the TAA combination produces returns close to the best performer without the benefit of hindsight. This analysis is done on a walk-forward basis which gives a realistic assessment of achievable returns (i.e. not just optimising past performance).

We kid of course, but one might be forgiven for suspecting “Irish Alzheimer’s”, given the latest “garbage” gaffe/misstep. Of course, Trump is not one to miss an opportunity. This comes at an inopportune time as the election heats up with various election-related stories battling for headlines. Voter fraud! Early voting shenanigans! Election market manipulation! Some might joke that POTUS himself would be hard to pick out among the ranks of the undead (we would never stoop so low …), but the more intriguing zombie speculation is the election. It wouldn’t be the first time the lawyers have found ways to keep the monster alive. This got us thinking about the economic issues which just refuse to give up the ghost and have yet to be settled: “undead” topics that just won’t die! Read more →
