It's also a great diversifier – this almost doesn't correlate to anything. To US Equities, which is the closest correlation, is less than 0.4. It's really quite an interesting and dynamic product in that sense, and if you look at what people are forecasting for the price of KRBN, most economists will bank- IHS Markit and others are forecasting that the price of KRBN has get up to $100 per ton/unit of carbon. To put some context into that, using our benchmark which is the global price of carbon, we see that around $35 right now.
If you think of some of the things we hold, the Northeast US and California, they're at $9 and $18 respectively. Lots of potential growth in the allocations that we have in our fund. So when you look at it like that, KRBN can be a great allocation and diversifier, and performer in a portfolio, especially given the shift towards ESG and thinking about climate and impact-related investing. Of course, it's listed here at the New York Stock Exchange.
Judy: So where can we go to learn more about this fund?
