New approach targets further improvements to outcomes for climate-aware equity portfolios
SYDNEY, 26 AUGUST 2025
Impact Alpha Partners (IAP) has developed a new investment solution for targeting further improvements in return, risk & impact for climate-aware global equity portfolios.
Founded in 2023, IAP’s continuing mission is to drive impact and alpha outcomes for investors.
“Pursuing this challenging mission needed a fresh approach to how investing could be done. Achieving impact and alpha outcomes with greater consistency has the potential to drive capital and accelerate the transition to a more resilient world”, said Andrew Huang, CEO and Head of Investment Solutions & Partnerships.
Adam Randall, Head of Portfolio Management remarked: “Designing a new approach to deliver further portfolio improvements has been two years in the making. This has been guided by countless conversations with sophisticated investors to understand the challenges they face.”
IAP’s new solution, called Multi-Emulation Portfolio (MEP), combines expertise from specialist managers and is re-engineered into one integrated portfolio, targeting further improvements in outcomes.
Huang added: “The traditional question faced by fiduciaries is how to improve risk-adjusted returns. The modern, additional question is whether portfolio volatility alone is sufficient to fully describe risk, when longer term climate risks & opportunities could be factored in decision making”. Randall continued: “MEP offers a more flexible and targeted approach to improving risk-adjusted return outcomes while retaining climate-awareness. With global interest accelerating, this is a timely next step in portfolio design.”
Beginning in September, the MEP approach will be applied to two distinct climate-aware concepts in global equities for institutional and wholesale investors to consider.
Huang concluded: “To offer this evolved breed of customisable investment solutions, not only did we need to re-engineer how investing could be done, we also needed to source the best building blocks possible. We are incredibly excited to bring together a platform of world-class investment sub-advisors as strategic partners with distinctive capabilities. We look forward to announcing these partnerships over the next few weeks as we demonstrate the MEP approach to institutional and wholesale investors.”
