Investing in preventing Cancer through Vaccinations

Posted on:  6 Sep 2019    Posted in:  Ethical/ RI, News, Superannuation

Did you know that you can now invest in a diversified range of Social as well as Environmental Bonds within your Investment or Superannuation portfolio? For example, Affirmative Investment Management (AIM) is a Fund Manager which only invests in global bonds which meet very high ESG standards – including Green, Social and Sustainability bonds. An example is a bond which supports the global Vaccine Alliance’s goal to prevent up to 6 million future deaths from 2015-2020.

The International Finance Facility for Immunisation (IFFIm)  Vaccine Bond aims to prevent cancer through vaccinations. IFFIm raises capital for the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi) based on long-term government donor pledges to accelerate the delivery of immunisation in developing countries. By aggregating demand, IFFIm helps Gavi reduce vaccine prices and, by increasing long-term funding predictability, enables large-scale deployment of vaccines in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Gavi deploys two cancer vaccines, the HPV vaccine which protects against cervical cancer, and the hepatitis B vaccine which prevents liver cancer—the second most lethal type of cancer among men, after lung cancer. The WHO estimates that vaccination against hepatitis B and HPV can prevent over 1 million cancer cases every year.

  • Affirmative Investment Management (AIM) is a dedicated Fixed Income Manger, focusing solely on Fixed Income and cash investments which generate positive environmental and social externalities. AIM’s approach is a fusion of mainstream portfolio management and sustainability, without compromising either
  • The Affirmative Global Bond Fund has supported all of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals which aim to eradicate poverty, fight inequality and tackle climate change
