Sustainable investment
The volume of sustainable investments by RCM (excluding real estate) in this definition increased
by seven percent year-on-year to € 3.11 billion in 2018.* In the difficult market environment in
2018, this was largely attributable to new inflows. The share of these sustainable investments in
the total volume is now 9.3 percent.
The success of the “sustainable investment funds” product portfolio is illustrated by the volume statistics since
2014, the year in which the RCM sustainability funds were repositioned. The volume has more than tripled in the
meantime.

Sustainable funds of Raiffeisen Capital Management
It is already possible to invest in all asset classes via Raiffeisen sustainability funds, thereby ensuring sufficient
diversification. The company now offers a wide range of retail funds with different risk-reward profiles: several
equity funds, two mixed funds with different proportions of equities, and pure bond funds.
Raiffeisen KAG has had the Raiffeisen-GreenBonds fund in its portfolio since 2015. This fund invests in bonds that
finance climate and environmental protection projects. There is also a growing number of sustainability special mandates
for institutional customers that are tailored individually.
