GRNB
VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF

Market Updates*

  • Green bonds finance projects that have a positive impact on the environment, and allow investors to integrate sustainability into their core fixed income portfolios without significantly impacting the overall risk/return profile.
  • GRNB’s index currently has an average yield of 1.54%, compared to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index yield of 1.17%, as of January 29, 2021.
  • Issuance this year has been dampened due to a near market shutdown earlier this year due to the pandemic, but has recovered sharply and may still meet or exceed last year’s record of $257bn (Source: Climate Bonds Initiative). Green stimulus spending, progress on market standards and strong investor demand are driving market development.
