By Marisa Wong

Los Angeles, Dec. 6 – Bloomberg announced new green-tilted fixed-income indexes that seek to increase weighting to green bonds in some of Bloomberg’s flagship indexes such as the Global Aggregate, Treasury and Corporate indexes.

The “tilted” indexes incorporate research from Bloomberg’s ESG and fixed-income data teams and offer investors an opportunity to incorporate and increase exposure to sustainable products while maintaining similar characteristics of the parent benchmark.

The recent launch includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Bloomberg Global Aggregate 20% green bond index;

• Bloomberg Global Corporate 20% green bond index;

• Bloomberg Global Treasury 20% green bond index;

• Bloomberg Global Aggregate 3x green bond tilted index;

• Bloomberg Global Corporate 3x green bond tilted index; and

• Bloomberg Global Treasury 3x green bond tilted index.
