This inaugural report is a milestone in the journey of the World Bank as an asset manager to increase transparency and focus on positive impact for our trust fund clients, enabling an opportunity to align missions with investments.
The investment objective of the Sustainable Fixed Income Strategy is to have a positive development impact while maintaining capital preservation and liquidity.
Managing the Sustainable Fixed Income Strategy requires not only conducting up-front, pre-investment due diligence on issuers, frameworks, and bonds, but also reporting on the impact of holdings after an investment is made. This impact report is an integral output of the strategy and will continue to evolve based on feedback from various stakeholders and as data collection, management, and aggregation improve and standards for impact reporting evolve.
