Abstract

This study shows that Paris-aligned indices (PAB) have similar return and volatility to conventional indices for both equities and bonds. Thus, from an investor’s perspective, Paris aligned investments do not necessarily add volatility despite reduced diversification, and they may offer investors, including institutionals, an opportunity to green their portfolios without taking on additional risk. Cette étude montre que les indices alignés sur l’Accord de Paris (Paris-aligned benchmarks, PAB) ont des rendements et une volatilité comparables à ceux des indices classiques pour les actions comme pour les obligations. Ainsi, du point de vue de l’investisseur, les investissements alignés sur l’Accord de Paris n’accroissent pas nécessairement la volatilité, malgré une diversification réduite, et ils peuvent offrir une possibilité de verdir les portefeuilles sans prendre de risque supplémentaire, y compris pour les investisseurs institutionnels.
