Summary

The Global Green Bond Strategy seeks to maximize total return through investment in global fixed income securities that meet Calvert's ESG and Impact criteria and qualify as sustainable investments under the SFDR with the objective of supporting positive environmental and social impacts and outcomes. 

 
 
Investment Approach
Philosophy

Calvert seeks consistent outperformance  through a combination of ESG and fundamental credit research with a disciplined focus on risk. We believe this combination creates a more complete assessment of an issuer’s long-term value and informs the capital structure and maturity decisions for individual bonds.  

 
Differentiators

Calvert is a pioneer in Responsible Investing with 40 years of leadership and innovation in the industry. We fully integrate ESG into the investment process with impact considerations. The Calvert Principles for Responsible Investment guide the investment decision‑making and engagement efforts.

Calvert employs a proprietary assessment framework for Green Bonds (which has regard to, where appropriate, recognised green bond guidelines such as the Green Bonds Principles of the International Capital Market Association), through which the robustness, expected impact and transparency of all such instruments in the strategy are evaluated. 

A multi-sector investment approach combines top-down with bottom-up analysis  and increases the opportunity set with help from a highly experienced and specialized team.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS  

Diversification does not protect you against a loss in a particular market; however it allows you to spread that risk across various asset classes.

This material is only intended for and will only be distributed to persons resident in jurisdictions where such distribution or availability would not be contrary to local laws or regulations. 

There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will work under all market conditions, and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for the long-term, especially during periods of downturn in the market. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

A separately managed account may not be appropriate for all investors. Separate accounts managed according to the Strategy include a number of securities and will not necessarily track the performance of any index. Please consider the investment objectives, risks and fees of the Strategy carefully before investing. A minimum asset level is required.
