ICE Climate
Quantifying climate risk and opportunities in fixed income and real estate
Wildfires, flooding, and increased insurance costs are driving integration of climate physical risk and transition risk into the assessment of portfolios and assets. Climate risks such as extreme weather events can impact the value of portfolios, while also serving as an additional input into identifying investment opportunities. ICE provides data and analytics that can help investors to quantify the impacts their portfolios and investments face from transition risks as well as physical climate risks posed by extreme weather events.
Reflecting our core focus on Fixed Income, ICE offers an array of climate metrics across several fixed income asset classes, including corporates, munis, sovereigns, MBS and more.

Our data, analytics and geospatial intelligence platform enable the assessment and linkage of physical climate risk, climate transition risk and alternative data sets to fixed income securities and real estate assets. Our geospatial platform allows us to link these risks to a wide range of asset classes, including:
- Municipals
- Securitized products (MBS)
- Sovereigns
- Entities (public and private corporates)
- Real estate
Our solutions help enable market participants to identify and quantify risk exposures and assist with strategy development. Our data can help asset managers and asset owners manage their portfolios, the risk they face, and devise appropriate investment strategies to create and protect value.
ICE’s energy and environmental derivative markets – built for customers over the last two decades – provide the prices that can be used for making decisions on investments to enable the energy transition. Our environmental markets are among the most liquid in the world and provide the venues for where the price of emissions is set every day.

Property, mortgage and geospatial data
ICE's property-level climate risk metrics cover more than 100 million U.S. homes and can help improve transparency and risk understanding throughout the housing finance sector. With our dynamic geospatial intelligence platform, users can apply ICE's climate metrics to individual loans, properties, and entire portfolios. Building on our recent acquisition of Black Knight to advance data solutions in real estate and mortgages, ICE is leveraging the combined insight across its mortgage and climate risk metrics and is integrating this insight into existing municipal bond and mortgage-backed securities products to help investors get enhanced transparency into climate-related exposures.
