In July 2025, we divested from BlackRock’s iShares ESG Screened Global Bond Index Fund and invested with Nuveen’s Global Sustainable Bond Fund. This change gives investors access to Nuveen’s strong fixed income expertise and deepens ESG and impact integration. The Fund offers broad global investment grade fixed income exposure, with around 40% in impact bonds financing affordable housing, community development, renewable energy, and natural resource protection. The remainder is invested in bonds issued by ESG leaders, as assessed by Nuveen. Corporate issuers are screened, while impact bonds are exempt from these screening criteria.
To provide investors with a diversified exposure to international fixed interest investments that meet certain ethical investment criteria. The Fund invests in the Nuveen Global Sustainable Bond Fund, an Irish-domiciled UCITS fund managed by Nuveen Fund Advisors, LLC. The underlying Fund’s foreign currency exposure targets a position of being close to 100% hedged back to NZ dollars.
