Insured Credit and sustainable investing

One of the main benefits the Insured Credit strategy has to offer to investors is the ability to select assets with strong social, environmental and sustainable characteristics. There are scalable opportunities where the underlying collateral has (strong) alignment with United Nations’ Social Development Goals (SDG’s) particularly within emerging markets. 

Our Insured Credit team works closely with our Responsible Investment team to assess the ESG risks and sustainability characteristics of each transaction. Example projects funded via Insured Credit investments include:

Water sanitation

Communication infrastructure

Airport development

Road infrastructure & systems

Construction of healthcare facilities

Electrification network upgrades
