Paris-aligned investments offer similar returns and stability
News Investment

Post No. 422. 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.
