Nikko Asset Management has expanded its Green Bond capability, to allow for a wider variety of impact opportunities presented by the inclusion of corporate issuers and of social, sustainability and sustainability-linked Bonds, particularly focussed on climate change and loss of biodiversity.
The fund is managed by the London-based Nikko AM Global Green Bond team, and leverages impact, reporting, and engagement insights from a dedicated Sustainable Investment team.
“Nikko AM is a pioneer in the Green Bond investment space, having launched one of the world’s first Green Bond Funds in 2010,” said Andre Severino, head of Global Fixed Income. “It is exciting to participate directly in addressing two environmental megatrends: climate change and loss of biodiversity. The proceeds from the bonds we hold will directly fund projects that promote nature and support positive climate change solutions.”
TheNikko AM Global Green Bond UCITS Fund is Luxembourg-domiciled and a SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) Article 9 Fund. It provides investors access to Green and Sustainability Bonds through a diversified and actively managed portfolio.
The new mandate of the Fund enables the Global Green Bond team to leverage over a decade of the team’s experience in Green Bonds to ensure that invested capital contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular Affordable and Clean Energy, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Climate Action.
