Do green bonds benefit investors and the environment? The CSR Bond Focus SDG Fund from our German cooperation partner @CSR Beratungsgesellschaft invests in bonds that have a positive impact on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. The fund partners implement a consistent sustainable investment solution in the fixed-income securities market segment. By participating in new issues and thereby providing capital to companies with business models classified as sustainable, the fund aims to support a positive impact on the 17 SDGs and an ethical-sustainable transformation within established structures. The same applies to the acquisition of bonds on the secondary market.

How can impact investors get more involved in Frontier & Emerging Markets? 🌍👀 Bundesinitiative Impact Investing, our German National Partner recently started the “Frontier and Emerging Markets” working group to improve understanding and analysis of impact investing in some of the world’s most underserved markets. In their latest discussion paper, they explore the 🔍 “how” and the “why” to invest in Frontier and Emerging Markets (FEM). Main takeaways: 💸 Dual return potential: Contrary to the common belief of a trade-off with returns, impact investing in FEM offers strong risk-adjusted financial returns. 87% of investors surveyed by The Global Impact Investing Network found their FEM investments meeting or exceeding financial performance expectations. 🎯 High impact areas: FEM are characterised by higher levels of poverty, inequality, and less stringent environmental regulations. Investing in sectors such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and healthcare can improve livelihoods and foster economic growth. For instance, investments in Kenya’s solar microgrids have empowered rural communities with reliable electricity. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏾 Strategic collaborations: Forming partnerships with local entities and leveraging local knowledge are key to navigating FEM-specific investment risks such as currency, market, and regulatory risks. This approach helps in addressing structural barriers and ensuring sustainable investments. 📶 Market intermediary growth: Institutional investors are increasingly supported by fund managers and advisors with deep market and sector-specific expertise, which makes FEM investments more accessible. 💰 Catalytic capital: Impact investing in FEM acts as a catalyst, attracting further investments and driving economic and social development. This increases the liquidity and attractiveness of FEM as an asset class.
