The growing market of green bonds enables investors to actively participate in reducing the effects of global warming whilst meeting their investment objectives.
As a member of the Green Bond Principles¹ and signatory of the Paris Green Bonds Statement², Amundi is committed to sharing our leadership and investment innovation in this pivotal sector. We have developed a high impact solution that can benefit you as an investor as well as the field of green finance. We seek to match traditional fixed income performance whilst also helping to fund a number of low carbon initiatives, balancing your needs as investor along with those of the environment.
Our process³ begins with screening the securities that make up the Barclays MSCI Green Bonds Index for greenwashing. That is, for companies who invest more in fabricating an unjustified pro-environmental image rather than implementing genuine pro-environmental business practices.
This screened universe is then extended to include bonds emitted by pure player GreenTech⁴companies and corporations playing a pivotal role in advancing environmental change.
The extending of the universe allows us to offer better diversification in an effort to generate higher yields without compromising on the environmental virtue of the portfolio.
The final portfolio is composed of issuers that have a proactive approach to environmental responsibility and climate change related issues.
