Warum ESG Kriterien im Fixed Income Bereich immer wichtiger werden
Der Markt für nachhaltiges Investieren wächst enorm, nicht nur für Aktien-Investments, sondern verstärkt auch für Fixed Income Investoren. Für Credit Suisse Asset Management hat das Thema Nachhaltigkeit über alle Anlagebereiche hinweg einen gleich hohen Stellenwert. Doch was gibt es im Vergleich zu Aktien beim Thema Fixed Income und Nachhaltigkeit zu beachten? Wo liegt der Fokus der Investoren und sieht es auf der Index-Seite aus?
From low carbon industries to green tech, how to accompany also sectors in transition?
The question of the diversity of portfolios in asset management is key, both financially and in responding to the climate challenge. Our approach makes it possible to limit sectoral biases by offering a differentiated analysis of companies according to the climate risks and challenges they face. We thus distinguish 4 investment pockets in our climate portfolio: disruptive technologies, efficiency solutions, low carbon impact sector and energy producers. The implementation of this strategy is compatible with carbon neutrality and the philosophy of active management

How microfinance investments can boost the growth in developing countries: the Silk road experience
Microfinance has always been decorrelated from the volatility of the world of finance and macroeconomic risks. In developing regions, like the countries along the Silk Road, micro and SMEs are catching new opportunities offered by new post-crisis scenarios thanks to their flexibility, resilience and capability to adapt. These countries’ economy is based on sectors which never completely stopped during the lockdowns and they are facing a digital transformation which will further help their restart.

Is impact investing the future of sustainable investment?
At the high rate of PRI signatories, soon there will be no non-responsible investors left! The remaining scepticals are now eager to join the movement after seeing the impressive inflows on ESG funds, and like Mr. Jourdain, everyone claims they had a responsible investment approach before knowing what it was. Obviously, this is very far from the truth because there is no shared definition of SRI: within it, practices as diverse as exclusion, shareholder engagement or thematic investment coexist. Among them, a trend is emerging: that of impact investing. In our view, this trend is not just one among others, but the only SRI approach.

Vom Gerechten zum Positiven Wandel – Active Ownership-Strategien für einen effektiven Unternehmensdialog
The transition to a zero-carbon economy needs careful management so that the transition is not just environmentally effective and economically efficient, but also socially inclusive, as there will be transitional challenges, for workers, communities, regions, and countries alike.
A ‘just transition’ for workers and communities as the world’s economy responds to climate change was included as part of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. It also features as part of the EU’s Green Deal in the form of the “Just Transition Mechanism” (JTM), a key tool to ensure that the transition towards a climate-neutral economy happens in a fair way, leaving no one behind.
To address the challenges, investor strategies to tackle climate change need to incorporate the full range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions of responsible investment.
The case for investor action, according to research supporting the effort*, rests on five strategic motivations:
understanding systemic risks from climate change,
reinvigorating fiduciary duty,
recognising material value drivers,
uncovering investment opportunities, and
contributing to societal goals.
In this session, we will evaluate and discuss how investors can take action to promote the just transition in three different areas: investment strategy, capital allocation and active ownership / engagement and dialogue.
