Pakorn Supajitsoontorn/iStock via Getty Images By Alan Meng, Sustainable Fixed Income Product Manager | Claire Hugo, Sustainable Fixed Income Senior Product Specialist Impact bonds support a wide range of outcomes, from financing climate solutions to supporting social programmes and sustainable development. These bonds, which encompass labelled green, social and sustainability (GSS) bonds[1], have become an increasingly important mechanism for enabling investors to direct capital towards their environmental and social objectives. By the end of 2025, the total outstanding global GSS bond market had reached $5.32trn, comprising $3.3trn in green bonds, $827bn in social bonds and $1.2trn in sustainability bonds. For many investors, impact bonds are now a core component of global fixed income portfolios. As impact bond issuance accelerates, investors face growing challenges around transparency and comparability across this rapidly expanding market. In this FTSE Russell Insight, we examine key market trends and how the FTSE Impact Bond Index Series provides comprehensive, standards-aligned coverage of this important fixed income market segment. Growth and resilience across the impact bond market The labelled GSS bond market has expanded significantly in the last decade, with annual issuance increasing more than sixfold since 2016 and green bonds consistently accounting for the majority of primary market volumes (Figure 1). Despite a more complex macroeconomic backdrop in recent years, the labelled bond market has remained resilient. In 2025, annual issuance continued to grow, with total GSS issuance reaching $856bn—representing 4% year-on-year growth and 6.5% of overall new bond issuance.[2] Among the GSS total, green bonds continued to anchor the market, with $573bn issued in 2025, compared to $204bn in sustainability bonds and $79bn in social bonds. Regionally, despite a modest year-on-year decline, Europe remained the largest source of green bond issuance in 2025 (at $...

Getty Images A lot of players in this market are capable of generating impressive financial results during a period of favorable cycles. However, not all of them integrate into the processes of building such growth as deeply as Broadcom Inc. ( AVGO ) has been doing. By integrating so thoroughly into the architecture decisions made by the hyperscalers for many years to come, Broadcom has ensured its ability to enjoy the fruits of the AI era. While the current Broadcom is perceived by the market as a hybrid of a semiconductor manufacturer, software vendor, and acquirer, I see a different story emerging at this point. Broadcom will turn into a control point in the fields of computing, networking, and enterprise infrastructure via VMware. Such an outcome will not make the company immune to risks, yet it will provide a certain degree of profitability, durability, and expansion prospects that seem to be underestimated now. What Changed in My View The key point that changed my perception of Broadcom has nothing to do with excellent financial results in Q1 FY2026. An increase in revenue of nearly 30% to $19.3 billion and AI semiconductor revenue reaching $8.4 billion, with an increase of more than 100%, are indeed remarkable achievements. Yet, these achievements alone do not affect the way in which I view Broadcom. What made a difference is management's confidence regarding the depth of customer relationships, the extent of their commitment to scaling up AI, and visibility in supply chains. The CFO stopped talking about the promising pipeline his company has. Now he speaks about the multi-year deployment plan with its six strategic customers, guaranteed supply until 2028, and visibility in AI chip revenue reaching the amount of more than $100 billion in 2027 . These figures should be considered a signal of Broadcom having turned from a promising semiconductor supplier into a company capable of allocating production capacity in accordance with the strategic decisions of a ve...
