Green Bonds for Sustainable and Impactful Investing with UOB

Sustainable green bonds investment opportunity with UOB

A type of bond that helps companies and governments to raise funds for finance environmental and climate-related projects.

Introduction

Eco-conscious wealth solutions through green bond offerings

A green bond is a fixed-income instrument that is specifically earmarked to raise money for climate-related or environmental projects. Green bonds can finance projects for:

  • Advancement of environmentally friendly technologies
  • Clean transportation
  • Clean water
  • Energy efficiency
  • Fishery and forestry
  • Other projects to mitigate climate change
  • Pollution prevention
  • Sustainable agriculture
  • Sustainable water management
  • The protection of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems

Green bonds are typically asset-linked and backed by the issuing entity’s balance sheet. They therefore usually carry the same credit rating as their issuers’ other debt obligations.

How we select green bonds for you

Step 1

Selecting green bonds that meet globally-recognised standards

The green bonds we offer are selected from the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Global Green Bond Index, which has been voted the best index for the fourth year running by Environmental Finance, a leading news and analysis service dedicated to sustainable investing and green financing.

Constituents of the index are rigorously assessed on the ongoing environmental impact of the green projects the bond proceeds are used for, among other factors.

Since its inception in 2014, the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Global Green Bond Index has also outperformed the broader bond market in terms of its total returns.

Assessing green bonds using our internal risk assessment framework

This includes screening for probability of default, fair value assessment, and technical analysis.

This additional layer of screening ensures that we only offer you the highest-quality green bonds that provide stable cash flow outcomes and potential returns that commensurate with the risk you take.
