Green Bonds enable capital-raising and investment for new and existing projects with environmental benefits. The demand for such investments comes from a variety of sources. Some investment funds are dedicated to investing using ESG principles. For them, Green Bonds are an obvious choice. A majority of investors who buy these bonds tend to hold them for a long period of time known as buy-and-hold investors, and that means there are fewer Green Bonds available to buy on the open market.
There are a number of reasons that clients may be interested in adding Green Bonds to their portfolios. The primary incremental benefit that green bonds provide is as an “impact investment”—investors in these bonds know that they are directly funding projects that address environmental challenges.
In November 2008, the World Bank issued its first Green Bond in response to a request from a group of Swedish pension funds seeking to invest in projects that address climate change. Labeled the world’s first green bond, it became a blueprint for today’s Green Bond market, providing options for investors to support climate solutions with their investments without sacrificing financial returns.
The Costa Rican Stock Exchange was the first in Central America to adhere to the Sustainable Stock Exchange initiative. For this reason, it was the first in the region to make a commitment to promote support for sustainable development from the capital market.
