Ortec Finance research warns that North American and Canadian pension funds could lose up to 50% of returns by 2040 due to climate risks, driven by higher allocations to equities and alternatives. In contrast, Dutch and Swiss funds with greater fixed-income exposure show more resilience. Transition risks, such as stranded fossil fuel assets, are highlighted as dominant drivers, with UK DC funds facing growing exposure. The study aligns with warnings that pension fund climate models underestimate financial damages from tipping points, potentially misleading asset owners on divestment strategies.
