The Novethic Green Fund Label has since 2013 been awarded to funds financing
companies that provide solutions to environmental issues such as energy transition
and natural resources management. Awarded by the research centre Novethic, an
expert body that is independent from management companies, this label provides a
guarantee for investors of the quality and transparency of these funds’ environmental
characteristics and their contribution to sustainable development.
A pioneer in the green bond market[[Green bonds are bonds that finance green growth via specific projects addressing
environmental issues.]], Mirova participated in the first green bond issues
in 2012 and then became involved in market bodies with the aim of structuring and
developing the market, in close cooperation with Natixis SRI research in particular.
Mirova Green Bond – Global is a thematic international bond fund dedicated to the
financing of environmental transition. It applies an active, conviction-based
management whose main performance driver is selecting issues that have a double
impact: financial and environmental. This approach combines financial and nonfinancial
views: analysis of each project financed, ESG (environmental, social and
governance) analysis of the issuer carried out by Mirova, fundamental analysis to
determine the bond’s financial attractiveness.
Mirova Green Bond – Global is managed by Christopher Wigley, supported in particular
by Mirova’s responsible investment team (11 analysts).
Christopher Wigley, manager of Mirova Green Bond – Global, explains: “We are proud
to receive the first Novethic Green Fund Label awarded to a green bond fund. By
financing tangible assets, green bonds address direct and concrete needs: they enable
issuers to diversify their investor bases and investors to actively take part in energy
transition financing. This Novethic label rewards our rigorous analysis of the nonfinancial
aspects of each of the bonds in our portfolio.”
Mirova Green Bond – Global is a SICAV (open-ended investment fund) governed by
French Law whose management is delegated to Mirova. It has been approved by the
French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and can be distributed exclusively in France.
It presents a risk of capital loss.
