5 years of TargetNetZero Fixed Income: climate alignment and the value of credit selection

key takeaways.

  • At their five-year anniversaries, the TargetNetZero Global IG and EUR Credit strategies have demonstrated that forward-looking climate integration was compatible with market-rate performance, capturing opportunities identified through fundamental credit analysis1
  • Bottom-up security selection was the main driver of returns, underscoring the strength of our dedicated credit research team and showing that net-zero alignment was achieved at a negligible cost relative to traditional sources of alpha generation
  • The launch of the TargetNetZero Euro IG Short Duration strategy broadens the range, providing investors with additional ways to reconcile climate and investment objectives within core fixed income allocations.

Climate alignment and market performance

The TargetNetZero approach was designed to embed forward-looking decarbonisation into fixed-income portfolios through an unconstrained transition framework. By aligning portfolios with climate objectives while retaining exposure across the investment universe, the strategy was built on the principle that decarbonisation does not require sacrificing return potential. 

Five years on, the TargetNetZero Global IG and EUR Credit strategies have delivered market performance while achieving materially lower carbon footprints and faster decarbonisation than their benchmarks1. This was achieved by combining climate alignment with diversified portfolio construction and active selection. 

Rather than excluding hard-to-abate sectors as many low-carbon approaches do, TargetNetZero uses LOIM’s proprietary Implied Temperature rise (ITR) tool to identify issuers that are credibly positioned to best adapt to and benefit from the transition. In fixed income, the strategy aims to keep portfolio temperature below 2°C while seeking to preserve exposure to traditional drivers of credit returns.

Security selection remains decisive

Since 2021, both the TargetNetZero Global IG and EUR Credit strategies have shown that investors were able to pursue decarbonisation objectives, while maintaining a disciplined risk profile and supporting return potential. Over the five-year period, the Global IG strategy kept to a tracking error of 1% to 1.5%, while the EUR Credit strategy remained below 1%2. The Global IG strategy outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Corporates index by 0.25% annualised3, while the EUR Credit strategy outperformed the ICE BofA 1–10 Year Euro Corporate Index by 0.17% annualised4

What explains this performance? Our internal attribution analysis indicates that bottom-up security selection was the primary contributor to returns over the period analysed.

The portfolios are constructed systematically – through a weighting scheme – and actively – through bottom-up credit selection. Our dedicated credit research team continuously assesses issuers held in the strategy and the broader investible universe, with a focus on preserving capital. 

To potentially enhance returns, we exploit opportunities identified through fundamental credit analysis and the team’s expertise. This active management framework remains fully intact and not limited by the climate framework, highlighting the strength of our credit research process.

Importantly, allocations to lower-carbon and lower-temperature segments – or so-called extra-financial sustainability aspects – did not detract from performance and created no structural drag on returns. On the contrary, they facilitated diversified exposure across sectors such as energy, transport and materials, which are essential to the global economy despite their relatively high carbon footprints. This suggests that our climate framework helped mitigate transition risks while preserving diversification and balanced performance outcomes.

Materially lower greenhouse gas emissions

How does the TargetNetZero framework quantify decarbonisation? The strategy seeks to not only maintain a substantially lower carbon footprint than its benchmark, but also to decarbonise at a faster pace. 

A defining feature of the approach is a structural constraint to reduce the portfolio’s carbon footprint (or its carbon investment ratio) relative to the benchmark. This constraint is embedded in the credit strategies and has been consistently met over the past five years (Figure 3).

Fig 3. Carbon investment ratio comparison of TargetNetZero Global IG and EUR Credit strategies vs benchmarks (2021-2026)6

 While maintaining a lower carbon footprint is an important foundation, it is not sufficient on its own to conclude a strategy has decarbonised more effectively or more quickly than its benchmark. Defining faster decarbonisation must go beyond a simple calculation of the change in total portfolio emissions over time, which can be distorted by changes in emissions data coverage and portfolio rebalancing. 

Portfolio emissions can, in some cases, fall for reasons unrelated to improvements in the underlying companies. For example, higher-emitting, shorter-dated bonds may mature and roll off while lower-emitting, longer-dated issuers remain, reducing the portfolio’s carbon footprint even if there is no change in the emissions of the underlying companies.

Instead, our analysis focuses on ‘genuine’ portfolio decarbonisation: emissions reductions attributable solely to changes in underlying company emissions data, which we have cleaned through our proprietary process, while also excluding the effects of rebalancing and market valuation movements. Using company-reported emissions, we calculate these changes daily and aggregate them over time, while filtering out one-off distortions such as acquisitions. 

For complete details of our decarbonisation analysis, please refer to: Race against the benchmark to decarbonise portfolios.

Understanding the limitations of decarbonisation data

Measuring decarbonisation is not straightforward. Emissions data is often reported with a lag and can be incomplete, particularly for Scope 3 emissions, which typically account for the largest share of a company’s footprint and are still principally based on estimates using non-standardised methodologies. Although data quality is improving, these limitations mean results should be interpreted with caution. 

Emissions trends can also be influenced by changes in the underlying data. Companies and data providers may retrospectively update, restate or refine historical emissions estimates, which can smooth reported trajectories and make decarbonisation appear faster than it was in real time. As a result, some of the observed improvement may reflect methodological changes rather than genuine emissions reductions. While our framework is designed to identify genuine issuer-level decarbonisation progress, it cannot fully eliminate these effects.

EUR Credit strategy leads decarbonisation

Using this framework, both TargetNetZero Fixed Income strategies delivered on a core objective: decarbonising faster than their respective benchmarks (Figure 4).

The strongest results came from the TargetNetZero EUR Credit strategy. Between 2021 and 2026, portfolio emissions declined by around 7%, compared with a 1.4% reduction for the benchmark7. This differential illustrates the effectiveness of combining active issuer selection with a forward-looking climate framework based on ITR to achieve measurable decarbonisation while maintaining a broad and diversified investment universe.

Fig 4. Portfolio decarbonisation of TargetNetZero Global IG and EUR Credit strategies (2021-2026)8

Decarbonisation pathways are inherently regional and are unlikely to progress at the same pace across markets. The more rapid decarbonisation of the EUR Credit strategy reflects the advanced state of the transition in the region, where stronger regulatory frameworks, accelerated energy system transformation and earlier adoption of low-carbon technologies have aided greater emissions reductions among European issuers. 

The Global IG strategy also delivered meaningful progress, reducing emissions by 5% over five years, while the benchmark remained broadly flat7. The smaller differential reflects broader regional exposure and specific market dynamics. Following the 2020 oil price shock, many US energy companies were downgraded and exited the investment-grade universe. As oil prices recovered between 2022 and 2024, a number of these issuers re-entered the investment-grade index, increasing the benchmark’s emissions profile or at least slowing its rate of decline. This created a more challenging backdrop for relative decarbonisation.

Taken together, these decarbonisation results demonstrate that, even in a complex and evolving market environment, a disciplined and forward-looking approach can achieve real, measurable decarbonisation without compromising the integrity of the investment universe and, indeed, without impacting performance.

Broadening the TargetNetZero fixed income range

As the TargetNetZero franchise has grown to more than USD 6.5 billion9 in AUM, we have continued to expand the range to meet evolving investor needs. In April 2026, we launched the TargetNetZero Euro IG Short Duration strategy, designed for investors seeking a low-volatility, short-maturity euro credit solution.

The investment philosophy remains unchanged: identifying companies with credible and ambitious decarbonisation pathways, while maintaining alignment with real-economy transition dynamics.

The strategy combines systematic issuer selection with discretionary alpha, supporting resilience across market cycles. This addition complements our existing TargetNetZero fixed income strategies, including Global IG and EUR Credit as well as tailored corporate bond solutions in USD and CHF markets. Within the TargetNetZero franchise, these strategies are united in combining high-conviction credit investing and decarbonisation alignment to support both financial and climate objectives.

A framework tested over time

Five years on, the track record is clear. Integrating climate metrics such as carbon investment ratio and implied temperature rise did not come at the expense of performance. Returns remained intact, while portfolios stayed meaningfully aligned with net-zero objectives.

For professional investors, this reinforces a broader conclusion: climate-aware investing in fixed income need not be a trade-off. With a robust framework, rigorous research and a pragmatic approach, it can be an integral part of delivering both financial and sustainability outcomes.

Composite and Benchmark Definition
The strategy is a long-only global corporate strategy launched in April 2021.   It mainly invests in securities within the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Corporates index based on proprietary sustainability processes, aiming to reduce the risk of climate transition. Moreover, the strategy seeks to select and allocate to issuers with the objective to form a universe compatible with the fight against global warming. It integrates a wide range of climate objectives covering the risk of transition, the opportunities and the physical risk linked to climate change.  It aims to invest in issuers which can contribute to a reduction in global CO2 emissions and the eventual achievement of net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. This will include issuers already targeting such net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, as well as issuers that may not yet have set such targets but that progressively may be brought into alignment, including through regulatory action, investor engagement and market changes.  The Investment Manager will aim to ensure a faster rate of reductions in CO2 emissions in the portfolio when compared to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Corporates index. The achievement of these aims are dependent on regulatory, technological and commercial developments external to the Investment Manager and there can be no guarantee that they will be achieved in respect of the above referenced aims.   Risk management is performed by fund managers at a portfolio level, alongside independent teams who oversee investment, counterparty and operational risks. The composite benchmark is Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corp USD. The composite leverage at year end was: 2021- 150.20%,  2022- 45.21%, 2023- 65.29% and 2024- 45.75% for the LOF - TargetNetZero Global IG Corporate IA. The composite currency is USD.

Composite and Benchmark Definition
The TNZ (EUR) Credit Bond composite follows an active long-only corporate bond strategy.  Since 31st August 2021, the strategy has adopted a TargetNetZero approach while maintaining the same financial approach.   The Euro Core TargetNetZero strategy aim to invest in securities weighted according to the market capitalization of their issue, their LOPTA (Lombard Odier Portfolio Temperature Alignment) and their carbon footprint, in order to significantly increase the portfolios exposure to issuers that can contribute to the reduction in global CO2 emissions and the eventual achievement of net zero Co2 emissions by 2050.  The ICE BofA 1-10yr Euro Corporate Index (the "Benchmark") is used for performance comparison and internal risk monitoring purposes only. Bond issuers represented in the strategy will generally be similar to those of the Benchmark, however the Investment Manager (IM) has discretion to select issuers that are not part of the Benchmark universe. The holdings are therefore expected to deviate to a limited extent from the Benchmark. Securities in the Benchmark might be excluded from the strategy depending on their involvement in specific activities listed in the SFDR Annex. The strategy will aim for a faster rate of reduction in CO2 emissions when compared to the Benchmark. The portfolio aims for a significantly reduced carbon footprint when compared to the Benchmark. While the IM intends to maintain a low tracking error through controlled style, sector and country biases, the level of active risk associated with the realization of the investment objectives is likely to vary over time and is dependent on regulatory, technological, and commercial developments external to the IM, that could significantly impact the temperature alignment or carbon footprint of securities. (Until 1st January 2022, the strategy name was LO Selection - The Credit Bond Fund (EUR)). The composites benchmark is the ICE BofA 1-10yr Euro Corporate Index. The composite currency is EUR.
