This fund offers targeted exposure to the global investment-grade corporate bond market, focusing specifically on USD-denominated debt from developed countries. Its core strategy is to replicate the performance of a Paris-Aligned Benchmark (PAB), which aligns the portfolio with the long-term decarbonization goals of the Paris Agreement. This means the fund systematically invests in companies that are actively contributing to the transition to a low-carbon economy. It employs a clear, rules-based methodology to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas intensity and overall carbon footprint compared to a traditional corporate bond universe, while also excluding companies involved in controversial business activities.
The investment is designed for those seeking both the potential for stable income from high-quality corporate debt and a demonstrable commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. By systematically filtering and re-weighting its holdings based on climate criteria, the fund provides a robust approach to sustainable investing. It allows investors to mitigate climate-related transition risks within their fixed-income portfolios and align their capital with sustainability goals, all without sacrificing broad exposure to the global corporate bond market. The strategy aims to capture the performance of companies best positioned for a net-zero future.
This product is suitable as a core holding within a fixed-income allocation for investors who prioritize climate action. It can serve as a direct replacement for conventional global or US corporate bond ETFs, offering a similar risk and credit quality profile but with a significantly improved environmental footprint. The focus on investment-grade bonds provides a degree of capital preservation and income generation, making it an attractive option for building a resilient, long-term portfolio that actively supports the global climate transition.
