The L&G ESG Emerging Markets Government Bond (USD) 0-5 Year UCITS ETF enables investors to invest in US dollar-denominated government and quasi-government bonds from emerging markets. In addition to a residual maturity of three months to five years and a minimum outstanding volume of USD 500 million, both fixed and floating rate bonds are included.

The L&G ESG China Bond CNY UCITS ETF offers investors access to fixed income bonds denominated in Chinese renminbi from the Chinese government and the three policy banks (China Development Bank, Agricultural Development Bank of China, Export-Import Bank of China). The bonds must be tradable in the Chinese interbank market and have a minimum residual maturity of one year. Bonds of the three policy banks are limited to a maximum of 20 per cent.

Both ETFs focus on sustainable investments. Issuers with a higher ESG rating, so-called green bonds, are weighted more heavily and those with a lower ESG rating are under-weighted or excluded. In principle, issuers with income from the steam coal, tobacco and weapons sectors are excluded.
