In Australia’s emerging green bond market, Artesian’s Green and Sustainable Bond Fund is one of the few dedicated green bonds with an Australian focus. Backed by a $25 million investment from the CEFC alongside cornerstone investor Future Super, the open-ended Fund is actively managed by Artesian’s fixed-income team and provides investors with diversified exposure to a hard-to-access asset class.
Investing in highly liquid investment-grade green and sustainable corporate bonds issued by Australian and international issuers, as well as cash, the fund aims to outperform the Bloomberg AusBond Composite 0-5 Year Index benchmark.
In March 2023, CEFC increased its investments to $50 million.
