从政策到投资组合:气候承诺能为投资者揭示哪些未来风险与机遇
Refinitiv路孚特· 2025-06-30 03:30
Kieran Brophy LSEG 主权气候研究负责人 Julien Moussavi 富时罗素 可持续固定收益产品主管 随着各国气候承诺不断演变,投资者解读这些承诺的方式也需相应调整、与时俱进。 尽管国家层面的气候 计划看似进展迟缓或尚不完善,但只要善于洞察,就能从中捕捉到关于未来经济走向和气候风险的强烈信 号。 气候目标的达成进程或许陷入停滞,然而气候风险却丝毫没有放缓的迹象。 今年早些时候,各国提交更新后的2035年减排目标(即所谓的"国家自主贡献3.0版")的截止日期已过。然 而,在195个《巴黎协定》签署国中,仅有 13个国家按时提交了这些国家自主贡献。虽然在《巴黎协定》推 进过程中,错过截止日期的情况并不鲜见,但此次更新所展现出的紧迫感和政治关注度却大打折扣。由于政 策制定者正忙于应对战争、通货膨胀以及地缘政治等诸多问题,气候问题在国际议程中的优先级有所下降。 然而,气候变化所带来的实际物理影响和经济损失依然严峻 。 极端天气事件愈发频繁,造成的经济损失也 日益加重 。 尽管各国政府对能源转型的支持力度各不相同,但在技术、监管和金融等多重因素的推动下, 能源转型仍在持续重塑全球市场格局。 对于投 ...

首批自由现金流 ETF 上市四月记:从投资新物种到资金 “吸铁石”,发生了什么?
Morningstar晨星· 2025-06-18 09:40
导语 当资本市场还在热议传统投资策略的瓶颈时,自由现金流 ETF 的横空出世,犹如一剂创新良 药,迅速搅动市场格局。自 2025 年 2 月 27 日首批产品挂牌交易,短短不到四个月间,这类新 兴投资工具便以惊人的 "吸金" 能力,从鲜为人知的市场新面孔,摇身变为资金竞相追逐的焦 点。这背后究竟隐藏着怎样的逻辑? 01 打破常规:自由现金流 ETF 的核心优势 当利润表的数字游戏让投资者眼花缭乱时,自由现金流如同企业经营质量的 "CT 扫描仪",以真金 白银的造血能力揭示价值本质。作为企业支付运营成本与资本开支后的 "净剩血液",自由现金流 不仅是抵御财务操纵的防火墙,更是衡量企业长期生命力的核心指标。基于这一逻辑构建的自由现 金流 ETF,正通过 "现金为王" 的筛选机制,重构 A 股优质资产的评价体系。 与传统红利策略或低估值选股不同,自由现金流 ETF 穿透账面利润的表象,聚焦那些在扣除所有 必要开支后仍能产生充沛现金的企业。 这种 "现金造血能力优先" 的投资逻辑,天然规避了高杠杆 企业的财务风险 —— 例如国证自由现金流指数刻意排除金融、地产等高负债行业,仅从实体企业 中筛选现金流与 ROE 双优的 ...
