The DNB Fund Global Low Carbon Corporate Bonds combines stable interest returns with low climate risk. The fund invests in corporate bonds with high credit quality (investment grade) issued by companies in developed economies. The selection emphasizes lower carbon intensity and clear strategies for emission reductions, thus providing a sustainable approach to interest investments.
The portfolio is broadly composed across regions and sectors. Investments are globally distributed among Europe, North America, Asia, and Oceania, encompassing companies from various industries. To reduce currency risk, all investments in foreign currency are hedged back to the fund's base currency.
The fund focuses on quality and controlled risk. It only invests in debt securities with a minimum BBB rating, and a maximum of 10 percent of the management capital can be in bonds that have been downgraded. The fund has moderate interest rate sensitivity, with an expected duration between 3 and 8. Up to 25 percent of the funds can be placed in responsible loans, allowing for more flexible portfolio composition.
