Extreme Weather Is Reshaping Real Estate — This New REIT ETF Is Built For It

Climate Global, in partnership with Exchange Traded Concepts, has launched the Climate-Resilient REIT Index ETF (NYSE: CLIM), which focuses on U.S. equity REITs while incorporating climate risk factors such as extreme weather and long-term climate threats. The ETF utilizes catastrophe modeling from Moody's to assess risks from various natural disasters and aims to identify REITs that are better positioned to withstand climate shocks. This launch comes amid rising insurance costs and increasing extreme weather events, reflecting a shift in portfolio construction towards measurable climate risks.
