Bloomberg has announced the launch of six new green fixed income indices.

Bloomberg says the indices incorporate research from its ESG and fixed income data teams and offer investors exposure to sustainable products while maintaining characteristics of the parent benchmark. The indices can be further customized using additional fields such as business involvement exclusions, EU Taxonomy inputs, regulatory screens, and even custom sector weightings, among others.  The new indices are:

• Bloomberg Global Aggregate 20% Green Bond Index
• Bloomberg Global Corporate 20% Green Bond Index
• Bloomberg Global Treasury 20% Green Bond Index
• Bloomberg Global Aggregate 3x Green Bond Tilted Index
• Bloomberg Global Corporate 3x Green Bond Tilted Index
• Bloomberg Global Treasury 3x Green Bond Tilted Index

Jonathan Gardiner, product manager for Sustainable Indices, Bloomberg Index Services, says, “Sales of green bonds have reached record highs this year, up more than 10% compared to volumes for the same period last year, while the broader sustainable debt market has soared past new heights to $7 trillion historically, and Bloomberg Indices has closely tracked this growing trend to provide investors with myriad ways to introduce and benchmark this market to their portfolios.”
