Robeco has launched its High Income Green Bonds strategy, which is available for Hong Kong professional investors and Singapore accredited investors.
Managed by Peter Kwaak and Joost Breeuwsma, it qualifies as an article 9 fund under SFDR and is managed with a benchmark-agnostic approach across all credit sectors within green bond investments.
Robeco determines whether a bond is eligible for their investment universe by applying the firm’s five-step green bond framework and the portfolio managers then decides whether to include it in the strategy based on their investment view.
“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,” said Joop Kohler, head of credits for Robeco.
“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.”
