Kenanga Investors Launches First SRI Qualified High Yield Bond Fund
Kenanga Investors has announced the launch of the Kenanga Sustainability Series: High-Yield Bond Fund (“the Fund”). The Fund is the first Sustainable and Responsible Investment (“SRI”) qualified High Yield Bond fund in the local market. It aims to provide investors a more robust portfolio stemming from ESG analytics which will consider factors such as carbon efficiency and quality of governance to mitigate risks or capture new opportunities aside from standard quantitative and qualitative metrics during evaluation. The launch represents the continuation of Kenanga Investors’ sustainable and socially-responsible investing roadmap following the introduction of the Kenanga Waqf-Al Ihsan Fund and Kenanga Sustainability Series: Frontier Fund in 2021.
