Bond Horizon

Investor engagement with companies planning to access the capital markets can have a profound influence on the commitments they make to climate transition and nature protection in corporate bond issuances.

Bond Horizon is a unique tool developed by the Anthropocene Fixed Income Institute that aims to identify which corporates may soon come to market, to support engagement. It can be used as part of our Bondholder Engagement toolkit.

How it works

The heatmap of companies indicates the likelihood they will issue bonds in the next quarter based on our methodology.

Companies with a lower overall ranking may have a higher chance of an imminent capital raise.

  • Fundamental rank is derived from accounting statements.
  • Market pricing rank is based on the market returns of the bond.
  • News rank is driven by an AI model that analyses related company news.

This is not a guarantee of future issuance.
