    Annabel Jennings, ESG Solutions and Impact Specialist, discusses the opportunities for impact investing in public fixed income and how the supply of impact bonds is changing. Annabel also provides an overview of how Insight analyses impact bonds, and the types of engagement that we believe helps improve impact bond standards over time.

    Key takeaways:

    • Insight’s impact bond assessment process categorises bonds to determine which are suitable for investment
    • Since 2017, around 22% of the issuers we have assessed failed to meet the criteria
    • We believe carbon footprinting is a good way to assess green bonds
