How Social Bond investing can help Pension Funds allocate capital productively

Columbia Threadneedle are pioneers in social bond investing and this session will draw upon the potential to deliver both financial returns and positive social outcomes. We actively allocate capital to support or fund socially beneficial activities and development, using a broad universe of bonds issued by corporates, government agencies, regional and local government bodies, mutuals and charities. For pension funds, investing in social bonds aligns with conventional fixed income return with long-term sustainability goals. We will draw upon our experience of providing a positive impact in the UK through areas such as affordable housing, health, education and energy transition, without compromising return.
