This initiative provides insights into the sustainability impact of asset owners from a bondholder’s perspective.
The fund is designed for pension funds, insurance companies, and retail investors and complements Robeco’s existing range of fixed-income offerings, including other high-yield and climate-focused strategies.
With 125 million euros in initial funding, it’s noteworthy that high-yield bonds typically have a larger carbon footprint than investment-grade bonds due to their industry focus. The fund aligns with the European Union’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) under Article 9, aiming for a 7% annual reduction in emission intensity and starting with a carbon intensity 50% lower than the current investment landscape. Importantly, the fund excludes investments in fossil fuel-related ventures.
