Investors to nab green shares
The National Australia Bank’s nabCapital division has launched a sustainable investment option for wholesale investors, which will provide exposure to a basket of 20 ASX-listed companies selected for their corporate governance and sustainable business practices.
Commenting on the Sustainable Notes Series, nabCapital chief John Hooper said “our first issuance of Sustainable Notes enables investors to gain from the underlying financial performance of those leading Australian companies that demonstrate sound governance and management of environmental and social factors”.
The stocks in the sustainable portfolio have been independently assessed and the offer is expected to be available until March 7, 2008.
