Europe’s largest asset manager, Amundi, has introduced its latest exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Euro Government Tilted Green Bond UCITS ETF. Tracking the Bloomberg Euro Treasury Green Bond Tilted Index, the fund will provide investors with exposure to Euro investment grade government bonds in demand in the current economy environment while also having a focus on sustainability and financing the energy transition. “The Bloomberg Euro Treasury Green Bond Tilted Index is a new index solution that we believe can be the standard for inclusion of ESG factors in treasuries,” said Dave Gedeon, CEO at Bloomberg Index Services. Amundi’s new ETF is classified as Article 8 under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. Arnaud Llinas, Head of ETF, Indexing and Smart Beta at Amundi, said: “Clients have asked for innovative solutions combining sovereign bond investments with an ESG stance and we believe this new ETF is a great addition to our product range and a concrete investment tool to finance the transition to a low carbon economy.”
