For select intermediaries only for the purpose of product discussions only Investment Case Case for Carbon 3Investment Thesis • Carbon portfolio historically provides annualized returns above the S&P 500 1 • Structurally designed for long

term price appreciation due to the markets’ increasing supply scarcity 2 • Low correlations to major asset classes, including 0.3 to US large cap 1 • Provides alternative return profile with potential inflation and climate risk hedging • Standardized, liquid market valued at $900B 3 across the five largest markets • Benefits from structured demand from the program’s government

mandated participation for high

emitting sectors Impact • Provides potential impact by supporting price discovery and liquidity in carbon markets 3 while counterbalancing a portfolio’s emissions exposure and energy transition/climate risk • Cap and trade supports fuel switching and capital directed toward innovation in renewable technology 4 1.
