Fidelity | How Fidelity’s new sustainable high yield ETFs optimise multifactor exposures
In recent years, bondholders have encountered a changing investment landscape that increasingly emphasises sustainability. This article discusses how we apply Fidelity Optimus, our award-winning platform, to respond to client needs in high yield multifactor strategies. Governments worldwide, including the EU, are implementing more stringent policies on carbon emissions to better align with the goals of the Paris Agreement. As a result, more portfolios aim to limit average global temperature rise below 2°C and ideally 1.5°C relative to pre-industrial levels.
Fidelity | Solactive Paris-Aligned benchmarks
Introduced by the EU in December 2019 as a key legislative initiative of its ‘Action Plan: Sustainable Growth’, Paris-Aligned benchmarks set a harmonised EU-wide standard for the implemention of decarbonisation objectives by requiring investment portfolios to ‘self-decarbonise’ by 7% of their emissions annually. However, they also have potential to help investors improve their risk-adjusted returns.
Tikehau Capital | Climate Investing: Myths, Realities, and Decarbonising the Economy Through Private Equity
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been warning us since the 1990s about the urgency of addressing climate change. Today, climate crises and catastrophes are frequent in the news. Despite global challenges like COVID-19, inflation, and geopolitical tensions, climate action cannot be sidelined. In this Q&A, Pierre Abadie, Group Climate Director and Co-head of the Private Equity Decarbonisation Strategy at Tikehau Capital, addresses key questions to explore the myths and realities of climate investment and outlines Tikehau Capital’s approach to decarbonisation.
BAI + BIII | Position Paper Impact Investing in Alternative Investments
Since 2018, the European Union’s Sustainable Finance agenda has introduced numerous new regulations and directives for both financial market participants and corporates, like the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the EU Taxonomy framework, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). One goal of the EU Sustainable Finance agenda is to reorient capital flows towards sustainable investments (European Commission, 2018). The European Commission estimates that achieving the 2040 and 2050 climate targets will cost approximatively €1.53 trillion annually between 2031-2050 (European Commission, 2024a).

SUSI Partners | Quantifying Potential Avoided Emissions
Potential Avoided Emissions (“PAE”) allow us to quantify positive climate impacts by describing to what extent businesses contribute to emission reduction efforts and can therefore support the direction of capital towards low-carbon solutions.
SUSI Partners | Energy Efficieny
Energy efficiency, or the improvement of energy productivity of real assets across end-user groups, is an essential part of the global transition towards clean, secure, and affordable energy systems. Being one of the most effective strategies for reducing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, energy efficiency is forecast to deliver close to 30% of the total reduction in GHG emissions needed to limit global warming to well below 2° Celsius from pre-industrial levels1 (IEA, 2021b).
SUSI Partners | Sustainability Report 2023
Welcome to the 2023 edition of our annual Sustainability Report. Last year was the hottest on record – and by a good margin. With the human, environmental, and economic costs of climate change becoming more substantial every year, the phaseout of fossil fuels and the commensurate buildout of sustainable energy infrastructure must remain among the highest priorities on the global agenda.

Deutschland gleicht dieser Tage vielerorts ciner Haustelle Überall im Land wird gehämmert, gebaggeit und gebohrt Straflen werden aufgerissen, Brücken werden moderni siert. Und dac ist gut so, denn Infrastruktur ist eines der großen Themen unserer Zeit. Ohne eine leistungsfähige Infrastruktur ist unser Land und unser Wohlstand nicht denkbar. Und danut meine ich nicht nur sichere und effi- riente Verkehrswege. Für die notwendige Energiewende zum Beispiel brauchen wir auch eine leistungsfähige Netr infrastruktur. Wenn es uns Infrastruktur geht, dann ist hierzulande schnell vor allem von den schier gigantischen Herausforderungen die Rede, die damit verbunden sind.
