CCSB

CCSB aims to deliver returns while fostering environmental sustainability through investment-grade green or sustainable corporate bonds. The fund focuses on self-labeled or Climate Bond Standard (CBS) certified bonds, as well as those issued by companies identified as pure-play entities. Eligible securities commit to core principles such as transparent use of proceeds, project evaluation, management of proceeds, and consistent environmental performance reporting. Through financial analysis, the fund prioritizes bonds with strong business profiles and value opportunities primarily through new issuances in the primary market. Existing securities are evaluated against the secondary market to maximize returns and CO2e reduction. The fund manages credit risk associated with interest rate fluctuations while maintaining moderate income stability by maintaining an average duration of under five years. The portfolio consists of bonds issued in multiple currencies and may include junk bonds, capped at 20%. Companies with significant revenue from unsustainable industries are excluded.
