NEW
YORK and SINGAPORE,
April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Climate Alpha has re-branded
itself to AlphaGeo – underscoring its leadership in
integrating thousands of datasets spanning climate risks,
socioeconomic conditions, market factors, policy drivers and
demographic trends into a spatial index that guides resilient
investing across both real assets and public markets.
AlphaGeo uses advanced machine learning techniques to downscale
projections of heat, storm, flood, fire, drought, sea level rise
and other climate risks for any coordinate on Earth – as well as to
capture the locations of all adaptation features such as sea
walls, levees, desalination plants, fire stations and much more.
The result is a comprehensive library of more than 50 billion
datapoints comprised of nearly 100 engineered features across over
40 million indexed locations. Over a dozen actionable metrics allow
asset managers to rank and benchmark location performance under
three major climate scenarios and four time periods to 2100.
Chief Technology Officer Abraham
Wu points out that "risk is not the determinant of a
location's future – resilience is. Our holistic yet quantitative
approach is the first to measure that ground truth for any location
in the world."
AlphaGeo's GeoSense customized tracking indices for equity
markets, providing forward guidance into which public companies or
ETFs demonstrate true climate resilience. "Our foresight engine
turns rising global volatility into a tailwind for alpha-seeking
investors," says Dr. Michael
Ferrari, AlphaGeo's Chief Scientific and Chief Investment
Officer. In particular, AlphaGeo's flagship Industrial
Renaissance Tracker (IRT) correlates the wave of new greenfield
corporate activity in America to location resilience, helping to
better assess which companies and communities will experience the
greatest lift.
AlphaGeo was founded in 2022 by geopolitical strategist Dr.
Parag Khanna, bestselling author of
seven books including most recently MOVE: Where People are Going
for a Better Future. "Complexity is overwhelming the global
order," he notes. "We enable a geographical arbitrage towards the
winning markets of the future as well as empower governments and
corporates to invest in greater resilience."
Clients of AlphaGeo include some of the largest and most
sophisticated asset managers across real estate, private equity,
sovereign wealth funds, pensions, financial markets and insurance.
The company raised a seed round in 2022 and is planning an A-round
for mid-2024.
