Fund Overview
The ESG Global Bond Fund is a diverse, actively managed portfolio of global fixed-income securities designed for investors who wish to have a broadly diversified exposure to global fixed interest markets while considering ESG factors.
Why Invest In This Fund
True core bond holding
Designed as a core allocation to global fixed interest, the Fund may provide diversification benefits amongst an allocation to other asset classes, such as equities. The Fund aims to provide a diversified exposure to multiple economies, yield curves and sectors, which can improve risk-adjusted returns.
Investing for sustainability and impact as well as returns
The Fund seeks to influence positive change while using its time-tested investment process to deliver strong, long-term performance. PIMCO’s approach to sustainable investing integrates dedicated ESG research with a robust credit research process to identify relative value opportunities while optimising the portfolio using ESG-based criteria. This approach also seeks to actively engage with issuers with the goal of improving their ESG-related business practices.
A core bond experience with an ESG presence
This fund offers the potential for investors to achieve returns consistent with other core bond strategies while also making a positive social impact. Broadly diversified, the Fund strives to capture attractive risk-adjusted returns across the global bond markets, which can help to both mitigate volatility and hedge against risks in other asset classes, such as equities. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Investing in the bond market is subject to risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation risk, and liquidity risk. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates.
