Overview

Investment Strategy:

The KraneShares Global Carbon Strategy ETC (KRBN) is intended to track the level of its reference index, the S&P Global Carbon Credit Index, which offers broad coverage of cap-and-trade carbon allowances by tracking the most traded carbon credit futures contracts. The index introduces a new measure for hedging risk and going long the price of carbon while supporting responsible investing. The index covers the major European and North American cap-and-trade programs: European Union Allowances (EUA), California Carbon Allowances (CCA), United Kingdom Allowances (UKA), Washington State Carbon Allowances (WCA), and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which covers the Northeast US Power Market.

Performance

  • Carbon portfolio historically provides annualized returns above the S&P 500.1
  • Structurally designed for long-term price appreciation due to the markets’ increasing supply scarcity.2
  • Low correlations to major asset classes, including 0.3 to US large cap.1
  • Provides alternative return profile with potential inflation and climate risk hedging.

Impact

  • Provides potential impact by supporting price discovery and liquidity in carbon markets.3
  • Counterbalance portfolio’s emissions exposure and energy transition/climate risk.
  • Cap and trade supports fuel switching and capital directed toward innovation in renewable technology.3

Investors will be advised that investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that any series of ETCs will achieve its stated objectives. Under the ETC Programme, the Issuer may offer multiple different ETC Series. The performance of each ETC Series will be linked to specified reference indices comprised of futures contracts in the Global Carbon Credit Markets. The indices, and corresponding future contracts, are subject to political, social or economic changes which may cause decline in value. The Issuer may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify gains or losses for investors in the relevant ETC Series. Fluctuations in the currencies of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Investors will be advised of these and other relevant risk factors before investing in any ETC Series.

The ETCs are not principal protected and are a high-risk investment. The ETCs are secured, limited recourse obligations of the Issuer. The ETCs issued under the Programme will not be guaranteed by any entity and no person other than the Issuer will be obliged to make payments on the ETCs.
