Index Methodology

The MSCI Fixed Income Climate Paris Aligned Indexes are constructed from their corresponding ParentIndexes following an optimization-based approach and aim to exceed the minimum technical requirements laidout in the EU Delegated Act, while aligning with the recommendations of the TCFD. The indexes are designed
to align with a 1.5°C climate scenario using the MSCI Climate Value-at-Risk and a “self-decarbonization” rate of
10% year on year. The indexes aim to reduce exposure to physical risk arising from extreme weather events by
at least 50% and shift index weight from “brown” to “green” using the MSCI Low Carbon transition score and byexcluding categories of fossil-fuel-linked companies.
Furthermore, the indexes also aim to increase the weight of companies which are exposed to climate transition
opportunities and reduce the weight of companies which are exposed to climate transition risks. Finally, theindexes seek to reduce the weight of companies assessed as high carbon emitters using scope 1, 2 and 3
emissions and increase the weight of companies with credible carbon reduction targets through the weighting
scheme while achieving both a modest active share and a low turnover. The Indexes are rebalanced on amonthly basis to coincide with the monthly index review of the MSCI Corporate Bond Indexes. The pro formaIndexes are in general announced three business days before the effective date of rebalancing.
