Equarius Risk Analytics is a fintech company focused on accelerating and pricing real time insights of asset level water risk in securities. Our waterBeta factor models allow fund managers to adjust their holdings and engage with the C-suite on water risk management strategies for corporate climate transitioning

Our AI/ML platform provides mainstream financial risk metrics capturing embedded water risk through a volatility risk premium. Our patent-pending learning algorithms were developed with The University of Michigan (UM) and LimnoTech, an environmental services firm. Equarius Risk Analytics has secured an all fields of use license from UM.

Our quantitative analytics and finance team is focused on understanding the impact of water and weather risks on equities in the capital markets. Our data platforms are used to structure indices to integrate water risk in active and passive portfolios, and to inform corporate water risk management.

ERA collaborates with index providers (e.g. MSCI, Limeyard, S-Network Global Indexes), data providers (e.g. CDP, FactSet, Bloomberg), financial asset managers (e.g. Dana Investment Advisors, Credit Suisse, UBS), and non-profit organizations (e.g. WRI, WWF, Ceres) to provide solutions that can align financial metrics with corporate water risk exposures to build resiliency and sustainability.
