Fidelity launches ESG fixed income ETFs

Fidelity International has launched two fixed income sustainable ETFS.

The Fidelity Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Multifactor UCITS ETF and Fidelity Sustainable USD EM Bond UCITS ETFs invest in companies with a minimum of at least 70% being companies that maintain sustainable characteristics.

The Fidelity Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Multifactor UCITS ETF uses Fidelity’s proprietary multifactor credit model combined with integrated sustainability criteria.

The Fidelity Sustainable USD EM Bond UCITS ETF offers emerging market sovereign debt exposure with a weighting to countries most favoured by Fidelity’s Emerging Market debt factors heatmap, and an improved sustainable footprint based on Fidelity’s Sustainable proprietary ratings and external ESG ratings.
