Fidelity International debuts Article 9 SDG-focused sustainable bond funds

Fidelity International, a renowned investment management firm, specialises in providing a diverse range of financial services to clients globally.

According to ESG Today, the launch of two new SDG-focused fixed income funds by Fidelity International is in response to the pressing need to bridge the annual $4 trillion funding gap towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Fidelity International is dedicated to developing thematic fixed income investment solutions that address critical global issues such as climate change, biodiversity, water, and social issues.

The newly launched Fidelity Funds 2 – Sustainable Social Bond Fund and Fidelity Funds 2 – Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Fund aim to provide sustainable investment options for investors. The Sustainable Social Bond Fund focuses on investments advancing positive social objectives, while the Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Fund offers a diversified approach aligned with one or more SDGs.

Both funds will invest at least 70% of their assets in investment grade corporate debt securities from across the globe. They will be managed by Kristian Atkinson and Shamil Gohil, who bring expertise and dedication to sustainable investing.

Christophe Gloser, Head of European Distribution at Fidelity International, highlighted the significance of these new launches, stating, “We are pleased to be building on our sustainable fund range, with these latest launches part of our drive to provide clients with the ability to invest in Article 9 and SDG aligned strategies.”
