Insights in sustainability in sovereigns bonds

Responsible investing in sovereign bonds is still a novelty for many investors, even though the asset class usually plays a significant role in asset allocation. Integrating ESG factors into government debt is not only a responsible choice but also a strategic one. In this presentation, this presentation will share takeaways from their research on sustainability in sovereign bonds and demonstrate how portfolios can be aligned with sustainability targets as defined by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Temperature Alignment – Why No One Metric Is Enough

Mitigating climate change is a complex challenge for the global economy, which means that aligning a diversified portfolio with the Paris targets is equally complex. Managing only to a simple metric like carbon footprint could actually lead to worse outcomes in terms of both decarbonisation and returns. But more advanced metrics, like implied temperature rise, are not without some serious pitfalls of their own. This presentation will discuss some of the main metrics out there – including their pros and cons – and offer some concrete ideas on how investors seeking Paris-aligned portfolios can best make use of them.

How to Incorporate Climate Metrics into your Fixed Income Portfolio

The transition to climate neutrality requires significant investment. Data and metrics are crucial for market participants seeking to invest not only in firms with strong ESG records, but also in firms with solid plans to improve their ESG performance. How are asset owners and managers using green bonds? And what due diligence should fund selectors undertake to assess climate thematic index solutions?
