“Green bonds offer a link to the SDGs for investors seeking both sustainability and financial objectives,” said VanEck. “Their innovation is in their simplicity, given that they are structurally no different from traditional bonds. The additional disclosure and transparency of green bonds on the use of proceeds help connect investors with assets that are expected to deliver a positive sustainability impact.”
The green bond market is global, a trait reflected by GRNB, which provides exposure to about 20 countries and bonds denominated in more than seven currencies.
“The global framework provided by the SDGs allows investors to not only understand sustainability issues, but to also build more sustainable portfolios and identify the risks and opportunities that will emerge as the world grapples with the most challenging issues facing humanity. Green bonds will play a key part in addressing these challenges,” according to VanEck.
