Every month, find out all about the sustainable market bonds news in our newsletter « MySustainableCorner ».

Highlights The sustainable bond market has seen significant growth since its inception in 2007. Issues are now approaching $1 trillion a year and account for more than a quarter of new issues in the eurobond market. Sustainable bonds can amplify investors’ approach to sustainable investing, and finance a climate transition respectful of societies and economies. Long-term stability is critical for fixed income investors, and sustainability-focused companies are more likely to minimise transition and financial risks, while having a closer engagement with stakeholders.

With major central banks crossing the finish line on aggressive tightening cycles, Ostrum Asset Management (Ostrum AM) expects 2024 to be rich in investment opportunities but signals there are still multiple risks to be managed. Amongst the usual suspects are credit, duration and volatility, but there are also others to consider such as the configuration of yield curves and the growing risks related to the climate transition.

After a favourable year for the financial markets in 2023 despite a troubled international context, 2024 should see a change of era, according to the experts at Ostrum AM, an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers. Investors will have to adapt to a new market environment now in the hands of lenders, with interest rates permanently above 2%. 2024 should be a year rich in investment opportunities, served by active management of risks that are a priori contained but growing: duration risks, default risks for governments and companies alike, and volatility risks, not to mention the growing risks associated with climate change.
