Carmignac Portfolio Flexible Bond obtains SRI label

We’re delighted to announce that Carmignac Portfolio Flexible Bond, an Article 8 fund under the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR)*, obtained the SRI label in September this year.

It is a socially responsible investment Fund that deploys a flexible allocation across international fixed income markets while hedging currency risk. It integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics in its securities selection and undertakes a holistic view to manage the sustainability risk.

The “SRI label” was created in 2016 by the Ministry of Economy and Finance. It is granted following a strict audit by an independent body (AFNOR or Ernst & Young), and is renewed annually.
