Fidelity International Launches New Article 9 SDG-Focused Sustainable Bond Funds

Fidelity International has launched two new fixed income funds, the Fidelity Funds 2 – Sustainable Social Bond Fund and the Fidelity Funds 2 – Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Fund, with a focus on sustainable development goals (SDGs). These Article 9 classified funds will invest 100% of their assets in sustainable investments. The move comes in response to the $4 trillion annual funding gap towards achieving the UN SDGs and reflects Fidelity’s commitment to addressing climate change, biodiversity, water, and social issues through thematic fixed income investment solutions. The Sustainable Social Bond Fund will invest in social and sustainability bonds, targeting issuers that contribute to the SDGs, while the Sustainable Global Corporate Bond Fund offers a diversified approach aligned with the SDGs. Both funds will be managed by experienced professionals and provide investors with opportunities to align their investments with sustainable objectives. Christophe Gloser, Head of European Distribution at Fidelity International, emphasized the firm’s dedication to offering Article 9 and SDG-aligned strategies to clients, expanding their sustainable fund range, and providing diverse sustainable building blocks. Fidelity’s focus on sustainable investing aligns with the growing demand for responsible investment options and their commitment to supporting positive social and environmental outcomes.
