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

Combine 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).
