Monolithic

Subtype

No asset of this subtype is currently listed on the Regen Atlas.

Definition: Monolithic indexes refer to assets that aggregate multiple assets of a the same type into a single value or metric.

Description

This subtype consolidates various individual assets into a unified index, which provides a comprehensive measurement of the overall value or performance of the grouped assets. The aggregation typically follows a specific formula or methodology to ensure accurate representation. Monolithic indexes are designed to provide a holistic view of a specific category of assets by combining them into a singular metric. This approach helps investors and stakeholders to gauge the performance or value of a collection of assets without having to analyze each asset individually.

Example

The Argentina Carbon Offset Index (ACOI) could be a proposed monolithic index designed to aggregate various carbon offset projects within Argentina. This index would consolidate multiple carbon offset initiatives, which all aim to reduce or neutralize carbon emissions, into a single, unified metric. By combining these projects, the ACOI would provide a comprehensive view of the overall impact and performance of carbon offset efforts in the region.

The ACOI would be calculated by aggregating the verified carbon offset credits from all included projects. Each project’s contribution would be weighted based on its verified carbon offset volume and the duration of the offset. The index would provide a single value representing the total carbon offset achieved by all the projects combined.
