GRNB Factset Analytics Insight
GRNB is a rarity in the fixed income space: an ESG-focused fund with a global scope and passive management. The fund invests in bonds issued to finance “green” projects—primarily solar, wind, and low-carbon construction. Issuers must seek and receive certification from the Climate Bonds Initiative, a London-based NGO. GRNB may hold both corporate and government issues, with only a few restrictions: tax-exempt municipals are excluded, while sub-investment-grade issues are capped at 20% of the portfolio. Issuers may be located in any geography, but holdings must be USD denominated. GRNB launched in March 2017 and as of September 3, 2019, the fund tracks the S&P Green Bond U.S. Dollar Select Index.
