Descrição: Only recently have a handful of pension funds in Japan, Norway and the Netherlands announced their intentions to approach their portfolios more holistically with regards to responsible investing, while large European insurers (Swiss Re, Allianz SE and AXA) are focusing on ESG in fixed-income portfolios. "In 2014, when we first identified this opportunity, the green bond market, a particular subset of ESG fixed-income investing, was too small," said Bill Sokol, product manager at Van Eck Associates Corp., which launched the VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF in March.While the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI fixed-income indexes solve for the availability of eligible securities by overlaying specifically non-fixed-income ESG factors, the green bond fund market likely will be constrained by the issuer market, making a product such as VanEck's Green Bond fund more of a complementary holding.
