The aim of this paper is to study the performance of carbon-based portfolios when all emissions scopes are accounted … for. We formalize low-carbon portfolio strategies by integrating a carbon intensity penalty to a constrained mean … for reasonable levels of the carbon constraint. These results are valid across various choices of risk aversions, and …
