This actively managed fund offers investors exposure to the global green bond market, seeking to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns while financing projects with positive environmental benefits. The strategy is designed for those looking to combine financial objectives with sustainability goals, providing a means to invest in the climate transition through a diversified fixed-income portfolio. By focusing on bonds whose proceeds are earmarked for climate-related or environmental projects, the investment aims to generate a tangible, positive impact alongside financial performance.

The investment process is rooted in deep fundamental research, integrating both top-down macroeconomic views and bottom-up credit analysis. A key component of the strategy is a proprietary green bond assessment framework, which rigorously evaluates each potential investment. This framework ensures that bond proceeds are directed towards credible projects and that issuers demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainability and transparent reporting. This dual focus on financial quality and environmental impact allows the portfolio managers to construct a portfolio of high-conviction green bonds from various sectors and regions worldwide.

By providing access to a growing segment of the bond market, this fund can serve as a core component for investors aiming to align their portfolios with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. It offers diversification benefits and a direct way to support solutions for a low-carbon economy, such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation. The strategy allows investors to participate in the long-term structural growth trend of green finance, driven by increasing global efforts to address climate change.
