Investments: when bonds also help finance the energy transition

Equities are often seen as the main lever for financing companies committed to the ecological transition. However, bond investing, although less widely publicized, also offers interesting opportunities for savers keen to support sustainable projects while limiting their exposure to risk.

How can bond investing represent a less risky solution? Nicolas Coulon, Bond Manager at Ofi Invest AM, explains: “Unlike equities, which are subject to greater market fluctuations, bonds offer a more stable and predictable return. What’s more, they often benefit from priority in the event of a company’s liquidation, which reinforces security for the investor.”

This stability makes bonds the solution of choice for investors seeking a compromise between financial performance and moderate risk, while supporting companies that place the energy transition at the heart of their strategy.
