ScopeFour Capital
ScopeFour Capital is a diverse owned asset manager based in Los Angeles. Fueled by the belief that decarbonization represents a multi-decade secular trend, our firm identifies and actively invests in global public companies scaling economically viable and currently impactful climate solutions. The firm is a trusted conduit for investors who want to participate in climate-aligned economic growth while generating real world impact in a measurable way. Our core advantages include: • Specialization We are a team of climate-focused professionals who solely focus on investing in companies poised to benefit from the transition to a net zero economy. Given the lack of transparency and uniformity in public companies on supply chain, revenue streams and carbon emissions, we believe bottom-up fundamental analysis and diversification by theme is the best means to generate alpha. • Science-Led Approach As decarbonization efforts are implemented globally, different climate mitigation and adaptation tools will be used depending on the region, applicability, cost, and policy. To stay current on evolving technologies and initiatives, the investment team is supported by the ScopeFour Climate Council and facilitates regular dialogue with a variety of science-based organizations. • Climate Taxonomy We developed a proprietary framework called our Climate Taxonomy. The taxonomy is informed by two independent, science-based emissions reduction quantification initiatives (Project Drawdown and CRANE). Using these sources, ScopeFour has classified and quantified the Emissions Reductions Potential (ERP) of over 100 climate solutions deemed economically viable. Our solutions are bucketed into six key investment themes: Renewable Energy, Circular Economy, Green Infrastructure, Clean Technology, Discretionary Consumer and Sustainable Ecosystems.
