“We are incredibly honoured to receive the Best Sustainable Bond House award for our SDG Credit Income strategy, which was launched five years ago for Asian clients. This award is a validation of the combined effort and research conducted by our Sustainable Centre of Expertise and Fundamental Credit investment teams.

We take great pride in our structured and disciplined approach to credit market investing. Our methodology involves defining the investable credit universe through our SDG framework, utilising top-down analysis to allocate to various credit markets, and employing a rigorous bottom-up issuer selection process. These steps are specifically designed to achieve the objective of our strategy, which is to provide attractive income to our investors throughout the credit cycle.

We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the APB team for recognising our efforts, as well as our clients who have placed their trust in and invested in this strategy.”

“Within the Morningstar Global Flexible Bond category, the RobecoSAM SDG Credit Income strategy has maintained a position in the top quartile on five-year performance, and its target dividend is in line with key peers,” said Audrey Raj, South Asia editor, Asian Private Banker.

“To address the widening credit spreads of rising risk-free rates, the Robeco credit team employs a flexible approach, allowing active adjustments within a 0-6-year range to limit downside risks.

“What sets them apart is their Open Access platform which enables clients to gain direct insights into specific SDG scores for each security held in the portfolio. The strategy is also distinguished as the sole credit income fund that implements SDGs. Asian Private Banker congratulates Robeco on their achievement.”
