Green & Sustainable bonds: a label is not enough

En bref

We expect a significant growth of green bond supply, dominated by issuance in Euro and US Dollar. Corporates, financials and utilities used to comprise the main issuers of green bonds, but more sectors are now joining the party, e.g. car makers. Demand is outpacing supply, leading to a mismatch and, potentially, a larger greenium. As climate risks rise, regulatory interventions may further distort markets.

Over the years, Generali Insurance Asset Management (GIAM) has gained important knowledge of the green & sustainable bonds market, benefitting from a virtuous environment at Group level. GIAM will use this expertise to capture opportunities in this increasingly complex and wide market, for the benefit of its institutional clients.
