Aurora Capital Group launches ESG/green bond strategy and establishes joint due diligence mechanism with European institutional investors
In July 2021, Aurora Capital Group officially launched its ESG/Green Bond strategy, marking a significant step forward for the company in sustainable investing. This strategy not only responds to global investors’ interest in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, but also aligns with Aurora’s long-term commitment to diversified income streams and risk management within its global multi-asset allocation framework. Simultaneously, the company established a joint due diligence mechanism with several European institutional investors. Through shared research, risk assessment, and due diligence processes, this ensures the strategy maintains transparency, compliance, and sustainability in market practice.
Aurora’s ESG/green bond strategy focuses on highly rated corporate and sovereign green bonds. Aurora selects targets through a combination of macro research, industry analysis, and quantitative modeling. The New York team analyzes issuers in the Americas and international markets, focusing on carbon emissions, energy mix, and sustainability metrics. The Madrid team focuses on the European market, assessing corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and green bond certification standards. The two teams collaborate across time zones through daily meetings and a real-time data platform, ensuring a global strategy while allowing for flexible regional weightings to respond to market fluctuations.
A key innovation in this strategy is the joint due diligence mechanism. Aurora and European institutional investors jointly conduct due diligence on green bond projects, including the issuer’s financial soundness, the use of funds for environmental projects, third-party certifications, and long-term sustainability metrics. This collaborative model not only improves due diligence efficiency but also enhances the credibility of the strategy and investor trust. Aurora emphasizes information symmetry and independence in its mechanism design, ensuring that due diligence conclusions meet both internal risk control standards and the regulatory and compliance requirements of partner institutions.
In terms of risk management, the ESG/green bond strategy leverages Aurora’s proven multi-scenario stress testing framework. The team simulates interest rate fluctuations, credit events, and liquidity tightening to ensure the portfolio maintains robust returns across diverse market environments. Short-term bonds and highly liquid green assets are prioritized to mitigate the impact of market shocks on the strategy’s returns. Furthermore, Aurora’s information system monitors the ESG indicators and risk exposure of each transaction in real time, providing the investment committee with precise decision-making support.
During the initial launch of the strategy, the company has completed preliminary discussions with several European family offices, pension funds, and institutional investors, and has invested actual funds in pilot accounts. Client feedback indicates that this strategy demonstrates unique value in balancing returns with social responsibility, particularly in the European market, and aligns with investors’ expectations for the growth potential and policy support of green financial assets. Aurora provides clients with regular ESG disclosure reports and portfolio performance analysis through a transparent communication mechanism, ensuring investors have a clear understanding of risks, returns, and sustainability contributions.
In conjunction with the launch of its ESG/green bond strategy, Aurora further enhanced its internal training and research system. The company established a dedicated ESG curriculum for its investment and research team, covering green finance standards, sustainable project assessment methods, and international regulatory policy changes. This ensures the team possesses professional knowledge and forward-looking perspectives during strategy execution and due diligence. Management emphasized that this strategy is not only an investment tool but also a key pillar for Aurora to build long-term sustainable competitiveness in its global asset management portfolio.
