Whitehall Capital Group to invest into rapidly growing Green Bonds sector

CENTRAL DISTRICT, Hong Kong - Jan. 16, 2015 - PRLog -- Whitehall Capital Group today reaffirmed its commitment to the Green Bonds sector by announcing it will invest a minimum of $100m by the end of 2015.

Green Bonds are fixed income securities designed to raise capital to finance the low carbon environment. The sector has grown significantly in recent years, and Whitehall Capital Group will be building on its existing Green Bonds portfolio, which currently stands at $130m, across various investment grade issuers.

Whitehall Capital Group has researched thoroughly the environmental credentials of the proposed investment portfolio, including engaging with the key issuers.

Whitehall Capital Group’s Chief Investment Strategist, Mr. Sendo Yasuhiro commented on the commitment saying "Every so often, market innovation and social imperatives come together to create something exciting that has the potential to make a real difference. The Green Bond sector is a fast-growing and powerful example of this synthesis."

Whitehall Capital Group’s Sendo Yasuhiro also added “Whitehall Capital Group’s commitment to a rigorous approach to what is green makes them a model in the green bonds space. We believe our commitment will encourage other global corporations to step up.”

Whitehall Capital Group’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Marion d’Est-Ange added "The participation of strategic investors in the Green Bond market will continue to bring scale and diversity to the market and help mobilise more capital for climate-friendly projects. Commitments on the part of institutions will have a hugely positive impact on the growth of the market - especially if similar investors follow.”

Analysts at Whitehall Capital Group also stated that at the current rate of growth, the total Green Bonds market could surpass $40bn by the end of 2015, three times the size in 2014 of $14bn.
