Description

Green Bonds: Structuring, Assessing and Monitoring a Green Bond Issue

Tell a green bond apart from a conventional bond and judge the credibility of the issue

  • 2 days — 14 h
  • In-person or virtual
  • Intermediate
  • Up to 6 participants

A green bond trades like an ordinary bond but commits the issuer on the use of proceeds and on subsequent reporting. Market teams and investors need to assess how solid that commitment really is, at a time when green labelling rests largely on documentation produced by the issuer and on external reviews.

Two hours to examine how a green issue is structured, the market frameworks applied, the role of the external review and the criteria used to judge a transaction. This short format focuses on the critical reading of issuance documentation.

Learning objectives

  • Describe how a green bond issue is structured
  • Identify the market frameworks used by issuers
  • Analyse an issuance framework and the allocation of proceeds
  • Assess the scope and value of an external review
  • Spot weak signals in a transaction presented as green

What makes this programme different

Guided reading of a green bond issuance framework
The criteria that allow a green label to be challenged
The combined perspective of issuer and investor
