The Fund's objective is long-term capital growth through investment in bonds issued to finance projects that promote sustainability and/or positive development in environmental and social issues. As of yet, there are no securities listed on these markets at Nasdaq Iceland, and until the market with green bonds reaches a sufficient size, IS Green Bonds will invest in Icelandic Treasury bonds and bills.
The Fund is suitable for those wishing to invest in projects with a focus on environmental and social issues without compromising competitive long-term returns with an investment target of three years or longer. The average duration of the underlying assets is 0-14 years, which means that its price is sensitive to changes in yields. The Fund manager makes decisions with regard to investing in indexed or non-indexed funds.
By looking at the fund's impact report for 2022, one can see the impact the fund has had so far on environmental and social issues.
General disclaimer regarding investment in funds
Investments in financial instruments always entail financial risks, such as the risk of little or no return or total loss of capital. Past performance is neither an indication nor a guarantee of future returns. Risk increases if the investment is financed by credit and returns can increase or decrease due to exchange rate volatility if assets are in foreign currency. Taxation of funds is assessed on an individual basis in accordance with current legislation and is subject to change.
Investors are advised to familiarise themselves with the available information on funds, including key information on risk factors, investment authorisations and the use of derivatives. Non-UCITs funds have broader investment authorisations than UCITs and can therefore entail more risk. Information on the funds is obtained from Íslandssjódir hf., which is the funds’ management company and a subsidiary of Íslandsbanki hf.
Information on this site is intended for information purposes only and should not be considered as an offer or advice on the purchase, sale or other allocation of certain financial instruments. The source of this information is considered reliable, but the accuracy or validity of the information cannot be guaranteed. The bank reserves the right to make changes to this information at any given time.
Exchange rate developments and returns
A fund management fee is included in the daily calculation of each fund’s exchange rate. Return for 12-month periods or longer is calculated on an annual basis. Shorter periods are not calculated on an annual basis but show price change instead. Return is based on the latest price listed and portrayed in the base currency of each fund.
