Green Bonds
Ashurst advised Tritax Big Box REIT on first sterling green bond issuance by UK REIT
A REIT is a real estate investment trust. The most popular investment category is green buildings, but clean transport and renewable energy are providing the best value for money.
Ashurst also supported the Berkley Group on its debut issuance of the £400m 10 year green bond with the funds earmarked to develop energy efficient homes on brownfield regeneration sites under its Green Bond Framework.
What is a debenture?
A type of bond or other debt instrument that is unsecured by collateral. Since debentures have no collateral backing, they must rely on the creditworthiness and reputation of the issuer for support.
What is blockchain?
A blockchain is a distributed database or ledger that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. Blockchains are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralised record of transactions. The innovation with a blockchain is that it guarantees the fidelity and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party.
