Euro ESG Credit

Target

Sidera Euro ESG Credit is intended for investors seeking a positive return in the medium term by investing in investment grade corporate bonds and to generate a total rate of return in excess of a ESG Index. It allows to achieve a more attractive return than the government bonds one.
 

Main characteristics

The investment process combines a top-down approach, which identifies both the level of exposure to spreads and the allocation between Senior vs Junior securities, with a bottom-up approach, which supports the choices of individual securities. The process uses Moody’s rating model, using Arca Fondi’s own estimates as input. The Fund mainly invests in investment grade bonds. The Fund presents a lower than average exposure to financial securities by optimising sector diversification.

Sustainability disclosure

Through a proprietary model of the Investment Manager and based on data from the info provider MSCI, the Fund is assigned an ESG rating which shall be greater than or equal to the rating of its benchmark (ICE BofA Euro Large Cap Corporate Duration-Matched ESG Tilt Index - Bloomberg ELSE) designated to meet the environmental or social characteristics promoted by the Sub-Fund.
