We are pleased to announce that the EdenTree Global Sustainable Government Bond Fund has adopted the “Sustainability Focus” label under the FCA’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR) regime.
A global portfolio of government and government-related ESG-labelled bonds managed by EdenTree’s Head of Fixed Income, David Katimbo-Mugwanya, the EdenTree Global Sustainable Government Bond Fund targets at least 80% asset exposure to government
and government-related green, social, sustainable or impact bonds, the proceeds of which finance new or existing projects that support a reduction in carbon emissions caused by human activities and/or enable greater access to services that empower
communities around the world.
James Tomlinson, Head of Wholesale Distribution, EdenTree, said: “From launch, the EdenTree Global Sustainable Government Bond fund has been run with a comprehensive approach to sustainability, actively targeting investment in bonds designed to
make a positive contribution to the world while employing strict negative screening criteria.
“We know that the current landscape for clients looking to select sustainable investment vehicles can be challenging, and we hope that by adopting this label, we can fully confirm for investors that the fund they are buying is truly aligned to their
investment and sustainability goals.”
David Katimbo-Mugwanya, Head of Fixed Income, EdenTree, added: “Global governments continue to play a pivotal role in the transition to a lower-carbon economy. Countries keen to enhance their climate commitment credentials are growing their ESG-labelled
debt funding programmes, while inaugural sovereign bond issuances dedicated towards environment-related projects - such as those seen from Japan and Australia in 2024 – continue apace.”
“Our Global Sustainable Government Bond Fund enables investors to dial up sustainability objectives in global government debt allocations, but also presents an opportunity, as compared to historic lows registered over the last decade, to pick up
attractive yields for the asset class.”
The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations, you may not get back the amount you originally invested.
