Download DownloadSummary:
- As an increasing number of investors look to align their portfolios with sustainability goals globally, it is important to understand how labelled bonds may help to achieve ESG as well as risk-return objectives in portfolios.
- Green, sustainable or sustainability-linked bonds (SLBs) for example can help mitigate climate change risks as well as have the potential to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Social bonds on the other hand can finance new and existing projects with positive social outcomes.
- Hence, labelled bonds can help align investors’ asset allocations with their ESG and performance objectives.
