Alleen voor professionele klanten. Dit is marketing communicatie.

In het verleden behaalde resultaten bieden geen garantie voor de toekomst.

Drie jaar geleden was de markt voor impactobligaties nog vrijwel nihil, maar nu is er een explosieve groei van $ 250 miljard binnen opkomende bedrijfsobligaties, met een jaarlijkse groei van 30%. Dit heeft een beleggingsuniversum gecreëerd dat impactgerichte beleggers veel meer mogelijkheden biedt om geld te verdienen en een blijvende sociale of milieu-impact te hebben.

Fund objective: To achieve positive environmental and/or social impacts while generating a total return comprised of income and capital growth by investing in emerging market debt and debt-related securities and related FDI.

Fund benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against the J.P. Morgan EM Credit Green, Social and Sustainability Bond Diversified Index (USD Hedged) (the "Benchmark") for comparison purposes. However, the Investment Manager does not seek to align the Fund's performance with that of the Benchmark and the performance of the Fund and the Benchmark may differ significantly. The Fund is actively managed, which means the Investment Manager has discretion to invest outside the Benchmark subject to the investment objective and policy. The Fund has an unconstrained investment style, and as such it will not take the Benchmark into account when selecting the Fund's investments.

Key risks

The value of investments can fall. Investors may not get back the amount invested.

Objective/Performance Risk: There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objectives.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging Markets have additional risks due to less-developed market practices.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Investment Approach Risk: The Fund follows an ESG investment approach. This means factors other than financial performance are considered as part of the investment process. This carries the risk that the Fund or Strategy’s performance may be negatively impacted due to restrictions placed on its exposure to certain sectors or types of investments. The approach taken may not reflect the opinions of any particular investor. In addition, in following an ESG investment approach, the Fund/Strategy is dependent upon information and data from third parties (which may include providers for research reports, screenings, ratings and/or analysis such as index providers and consultants). Such information or data may be incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent.

A complete description of risk factors is set out in the Prospectus in the section entitled "Risk Factors".

Please refer to the prospectus, and the KID before making any investment decisions. Documents are available in English and an official language of the jurisdictions in which the Fund is registered for public sale. Go to bnymellonim.com.

Het klimaatprobleem heeft grote gevolgen voor de vermogensbeheerindustrie. Het zal verdere verbreding en verscherping van de regelgeving met zich meebrengen, waaraan vermogensbeheerders zullen moeten voldoen.

In de 14e aflevering van OBAMTalks gaat Sustainability Officer en Senior Portfoliomanager Edwin Simon van OBAM Investment Management in gesprek met Anne Schoemaker, Director ESG Products bij Morningstar Sustainalytics over de gevolgen van o.a. SFDR en EU Taxonomy en stellen ze zich de vraag of duurzame regelgeving wel effectief is.

Rudi Deruytter is CEO van CKV Bank, een onafhankelijke spaarbank uit Waregem die eigendom is van textielbaron Dominiek De Clerck. Hij werkte een groot deel van zijn carrière voor BBL en later ING. In 2016 schreef hij het boek 'Hoe gaat het eigenlijk met onze banken?', waarin hij naar eigen zeggen het inside-verhaal over de bankencrisis vertelde. In 2020 verscheen zijn tweede boek: 'Hoe kunnen de banken hun burn-out oplossen?'. Eind dit jaar gaat hij met pensioen. Hij wordt dan opgevolgd door Eveline Vereecke, die net als Deruytter haar sporen verdiende bij ING.

Risk rewired: Investing in renewable energy in emerging markets

Mentioning that investing in energy has enormous potential has become almost a cliché. On the one hand there is the need to reduce the use of fossil energy sources, on the other hand there is the fact that demand for energy is only increasing. So focusing on investing in renewable energy is perfectly logical. Does this also apply to emerging markets? Not a shadow of a doubt, if it's up to impact investor Triodos Investment Management. Today, we are taking up this issue with Investment Strategist Maritza Cabezas Ludena and Fund Manager Greig Blackie. Maritza and Greig: welcome!
