Details
In the previous two webinars of the CFA Institute x Fitch Ratings ESG in Credit series we looked at the importance of integrating material ESG factors in credit risk and rating considerations, as well as how fixed income investors implement ESG integration in practice.
As more and more investors seek to align their portfolios with both financial and sustainable imperatives, green, social and sustainability (“GSS”) bonds are increasingly popular. GSS bonds allow asset managers to direct their investments to specific projects and activities to achieve impact objectives.
In the upcoming webinar, experts on GSS bonds will address the following:
- Outlook for the GSS market, including implications of net zero emission pledges in Asia Pacific and COVID 19
- Opportunities and challenges for investors, including how best to avoid “greenwashing” and balancing credit risk and impact considerations
- Evolution of the GSS market, including regulatory developments and the rise of other ESG instruments such as sustainability-linked bonds.
