Bloomberg Launches Emerging Market ESG Fixed Income Index Family
Bloomberg in collaboration with MSCI launched the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Emerging Markets ESG Index Suite. These benchmarks incorporate ESG and SRI considerations in underlying hard and local currency emerging market fixed income indices. The index family includes the following versions across Global, Pan-Euro and USD:
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI EM ESG Weighted Indices
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI EM SRI Indices
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI EM Sustainability Indices
BROAD ESG INDEXES
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI ESG-Weighted Indexes are designed to use MSCI ESG Ratings and MSCI ESG Ratings momentum to overweight/underweight issuers within an existing Bloomberg Barclays fixed income index. These indexes include the full universe of index eligible securities and then apply tilts to the natural market value weights in favor of higher ESG rated/positive momentum issuers and against lower ESG rated/negative momentum issuers.
Emerging Markets Factsheets
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Sustainability Indexes are designed to positively screen issuers from existing Bloomberg Barclays fixed income indexes based on MSCI ESG Ratings, which are an assessment of how well an issuer manages ESG risks relative to its industry peer group. ESG Ratings are available for corporate, sovereign, and government-related issuers. The minimum threshold applied to Bloomberg Barclays fixed income indexes is an ESG rating of BBB or better.

Emerging Markets Factsheets
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Socially Responsible (SRI) Indexes are designed to negatively screen out issuers from existing Bloomberg Barclays fixed income indexes that may be involved in business lines or activities that are in conflict with investment policies, values or social norms. These indexes use MSCI Business Involvement Screening Research (BISR) and MSCI ESG Controversies to identify exposure to screened issues.
Emerging Markets Factsheets
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI US Aggregate ESG Choice Bond Index aims to identify issuers from existing Bloomberg Barclays fixed income indexes with strong positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings, which are an assessment of how well an issuer manages ESG risks relative to its industry peer group. In addition, these indexes use MSCI Business Involvement Screening Research (BISR) and MSCI ESG Controversies to identify exposure to screened issues.
THEMATIC ESG INDEXES
- Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Green Bond Indexes offer investors an objective and robust measure of the global market for fixed income securities issued to fund projects with direct environmental benefits. MSCI ESG Research’s independent research-driven methodology is used to evaluate index-eligible green bonds to ensure they adhere to established Green Bond Principles and to classify bonds by their environmental use of proceeds.
