why invest?

Targeting yields in excess of the broad investment-grade bond market, with comparable credit quality, as well as measurable environment impact​.5

  • Climate bonds provide capital for projects that have a verifiable impact in mitigating and helping the world adapt to the effects of climate change 
  • An additional estimated USD 700 billion of annual investment is needed to meet international commitments to limit climate change to 2°C above pre-industrial levels 
  • Highly-rated issuers such as the World Bank are active in this field, as are many well-known organisations across the globe
  • The Sub-Fund taps into a growing investment universe which includes labelled green bonds and non-labelled climate-aligned bonds, both of which can help meet a pressing need for impact capital

investment philosophy.

At Lombard Odier Investment Managers, we believe sustainability will drive future return potential.8

Lombard Odier Investment Managers has partnered with A ffirmative Investment Management (AIM), the first asset manager dedicated to fixed income impact strategies, to create this exciting opportunity to finance positive climate and social impact.

 

 ♦

A distinct approach 
Our proprietary climate bond investment universe, SPECTRUM Bonds® 9  looks at the financial robustness of issuers, their ESG practices and how the use of bond proceeds contribute to preserving our environment in the long term.

 ♦ Specialist expertise 
AIM performs independent verification and monitoring to expand the invest¬ment universe to include non-labelled bonds. This deep analysis and engagement allows for enhanced market insight, credit analysis and risk management processes.
 ♦ Impact reporting 
We believe it is important to evidence the environmental and social out¬comes arising from the Sub-Fund’s underlying investments. The portfolio is aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Change agreement. AIM’s reporting capability provides measurable insight into the aggregated positive impact of investors’ investments. 
 ♦ The end result 
The result is a diversified bond portfolio that seeks to create a positive en¬vironmental and social impact, while aiming to provide a higher yield and lower turnover than a typical investment-grade portfolio8.
