Knowledge Builder – Green Bonds
For those not familiar with bonds, they are similar to term deposits. They typically have both a fixed term and a fixed rate of return. But bonds are often issued by companies and governments rather than just banks, and they can be sold on a secondary market if the investor needs the money.
Green bonds are issued to fund investments that reduce carbon emissions or have other environmental benefits. Investors that want to improve the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials of their portfolios can invest in these bonds.
The first green bond was issued by the World Bank in 2008, and since then the growing importance of ESG considerations in investments has seen the size of the green bond market expand dramatically. Robeco estimated that the total size of the market was €700bn earlier this year.
This trend has not escaped New Zealand. Electricity generators and real estate investment trusts have recently issued green bonds, taking advantage of the lower interest rates that investors accept for these bonds.
