The investment case for ESG in fixed income index investing

December 14, 2020-Exchange traded funds (ETFs) incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria have seen rapid growth, particularly over the past few months, with momentum accelerating in spite of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Indeed, investors that are coming back into the market after the disruption of the pandemic are increasingly opting for the sustainable versions of ETFs, a clear sign that investors want to "build back better" and see sustainable investing as their new industry standard.

To give investors more clarity and confidence in building sustainable portfolios across asset classes, iShares, in partnership with Responsible Investor, held a webinar looking at the investment case for ESG in fixed income index investing. With fixed income ESG ETFs showing greater resilience compared to their "standard" peers", we felt it was a good time to explore the opportunities of taking a sustainable approach to bond portfolio construction.

EU carbon price hits all-time high after EU climate deal

December 11, 2020--The price of Benchmark European Union carbon permits rose to an all-time high above 31 euros a tonne on Friday, after EU leaders reached a deal on more ambitious emissions cuts this decade.
The contract hit 31.30 euros a tonne in early trade, its highest since the EU's Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) was launched in 2005, before easing to 30.94 euros by 0839 GMT.

EU leaders on Friday clinched a deal to cut emissions by at least 55% by 2030, upgrading the bloc's existing goal for a 40% cut from 1990 levels after all-night talks.

Traders said this drove up carbon prices, together with stronger energy prices in Europe over the last few days mainly because of a strike at French power plants.

December 10, 2020--PM says he cannot accept UK being 'locked in EU's orbit', but Tories urge him to strike deal
Boris Johnson has ordered ministers to prepare for the "strong possibility" of a no-deal Brexit, warning that the UK risks being "locked in the EU's orbit" as senior Tories urge him to find an agreement.

After a three-hour summit with the European commission chief, Ursula von der Leyen, failed to bridge major gaps between them, the prime minister said he was prepared to "go the extra mile" by flying to Paris or Berlin for face-to-face talks with EU leaders.

Two World's First Solactive Fixed Income Indices Going Beyond Paris Aligned Benchmark Requirements are Utilized by Robeco

December 9, 2020--In early 2020, Solactive issued the world's first Fixed Income indices, which were entirely in line with the, by that time, provisional requirements for Paris Aligned Benchmarks set by the European Commission. The development of the indices marked a giant leap towards a low-carbon economy and a sustainable future.

Dutch Asset Manager Robeco utilized Solactive's expertise in the area of Paris-aligned fixed income indexing and co-designed an innovative family of climate indices, including both corporate and government debt. These new corporate bond indices exceed the requirements of the European Commission for Paris Aligned Benchmarks, and the government bond index not only reduces its carbon footprint but also includes a 7% annual self-decarbonization trajectory. Using these indices, Robeco is taking a global leadership role in Paris-aligned Fixed Income investments. The co-developed indices will serve as Robeco's guiding benchmarks for two actively managed strategies that are fully compliant with the Paris Agreement.

Thinking big: debt management considerations for the EU's pandemic borrowing plan

December 9, 2020--If not handled correctly, the European Union's transition to take on a new role as an issuer of public debt risks crowding out existing markets. Managing that transition correctly is almost as big a challenge as spending the money itself.
The COVID-19 crisis is set to propel the European Union for many years to come into a role its members had not anticipated: significant issuer of public debt.

If the EU's budget and pandemic recovery package is approved, the 27-nation bloc will see its balance sheet transformed from occasional issuer to market stalwart. It will also take on a new role as market peer to some of the world's most experienced issuers. How it manages that transition, and whether it supports or crowds the existing markets for euro-area government debt, will be almost as big a challenge as spending the money itself.
