Green Alpha believes it is both economically crucial and advantageous to address systemic risks by investing in companies developing solutions to climate change, resource scarcity, and inequality. The firm's investment philosophy centers on the Next Economy™ - one where creating solutions to humanity's greatest systemic risks drives economic growth and allows the economy to thrive indefinitely. Their core principle states: 'Don't invest in companies that cause global systemic risks; invest in the smartest, most scalable and rapidly evolving, economically-competitive solutions.' The firm believes innovative companies addressing systemic risks are leading long-term economic growth, and investing in those companies is their best opportunity to preserve and grow clients' capital. Their investment methodology is unconstrained because the team begins the investment process by examining economic risks and opportunities at a systemic level. Securities of fossil fuel companies represent substantial portfolio risk proportionate to the global risks caused by their products, so they never invest in fossil fuels extractors, suppliers, or major demand drivers. The investment approach employs a rigorous two-step process combining top-down evaluation of companies' contributions to sustainability with bottom-up financial analysis to ensure sound business models and valuations. Portfolios are diversified across sectors, geographies, and market capitalizations while maintaining focus on Next Economy themes.
