Fund: Coolabah Global Carbon Leaders Complex ETF
Strategy: Global Carbon Leaders
Return (since Dec. 2025): 0.83% gross (0.51% net)
Net return volatility (since Dec. 2025): 1.41% pa

Objective: The Fund targets returns in excess of the RBA Overnight Cash Rate (RBACOR), after management fees and costs and performance fees, by 3.0% per annum over a rolling 3 year period.

Strategy: The Fund offers an active fixed-income strategy primarily focused on mispricings in liquid, investment grade bond markets with the aim of seeking positive environmental outcomes by investing a portion of the portfolio in green, sustainable, or sustainability-linked bonds and bonds of Carbon Leaders.
The strategy is designed to address the goals of investors wanting a fixed income investment portfolio that seeks to facilitate certain positive environmental outcomes and maximizes monetary returns while minimizing risks.
The Investment Manager aims to achieve this by targeting investment of at least 100% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value (NAV) in long positions in green, sustainable or sustainability-linked bonds or other fixed income securities, as determined by an issuer, which seek to exclusively finance green and sustainable projects or activities (or are linked to positive climate outcomes). The remaining proportion of the Fund’s investments, excluding cash, cash equivalents and derivatives, will be invested in bonds and other fixed income securities issued by “Carbon Leaders”. Carbon Leaders are issuers the Investment Manager has determined to have certain positive characteristics with respect to their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions profile and targets.

Portfolio commentary: In March, the zero-duration daily liquidity Global Carbon Leaders Fund (CBNX) returned -0.29% gross (-0.37% net), compared to the AusBond Credit FRN Index (0.25%), the AusBond Bank Bill Index (0.32%), and the RBA Overnight Cash Rate (0.34%). Over the March quarter, CBNX returned 0.45% gross (0.21% net), compared to the AusBond Bank Bill Index (0.91%), the RBA Overnight Cash Rate (0.92%), and the AusBond Credit FRN Index (1.03%). CBNX ended March with a running yield of 6.74% pa, a weighted-average credit rating of A+, and a portfolio weighted average MSCI ESG rating of AA.

Since the inception of CBNX in December 2025, it has returned 0.83% gross (0.51% net), compared to the AusBond Bank Bill Index (1.21%), the RBA Overnight Cash Rate (1.22%), and the AusBond Credit FRN Index (1.39%). While CBNX's return volatility since inception has been low at around 1.41% pa (measured using daily returns), as a daily liquidity product with assets that are marked-to-market using executable prices, volatility does exist. This contrasts with illiquid credit (eg, loans and high yield bonds) wherein assets that have very high risk can appear to have remarkably low volatility, which is, in fact, just a mirage explained by the inability to properly value these assets using executable prices.

CBNX invests in 22 green bonds and 7 sustainable bonds, comprising 106.1% of fund NAV. Additionally, the fund invests in 89 bonds, comprising 184.3% of fund NAV, of Carbon Leaders – issuers Coolabah deems to have robust environmental profiles, both now and into the future.
