Robeco has launched a High Income Green Bonds strategy, managed with a benchmark-agnostic, global approach investing across all credit sectors within green bond investments.
The launch responds to growing investor interest in the broad variety of green bonds. In 2023, green bonds were the driving force behind the overall growth of the global ESG-labelled bond market, representing a share of more than 60% of ESG bond sales.
Joop Kohler, head of credits at Robeco, said: “Robeco’s High Income Green Bonds strategy is our first strategy focusing purely on green bonds from corporate issuers. It successfully combines the depth of our sustainability expertise with the long-standing track record and capabilities of our credit team.
“With the growing interest in transition investing, our High Income Green Bonds strategy meets the dual objective of sourcing attractive income for our clients, whilst providing a core tool for investors to achieve their impact goals. This could mean aligning with regulatory-driven investment objectives or contributing to a more meaningful impact through targeted investments that support sustainable transitions.”
