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.

The Bond Horizon is a unique tool developed by the Anthropocene Fixed Income Institute to identify which corporates may soon come to market, to support engagement.

How it works

The heatmap of 265 companies indicates the likelihood they will issue bonds in the next quarter.

Companies with a lower overall ranking 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.
