German term or phrase: Rentenanlagen
"Rentenanlagen werden das Nachhaltigkeitsthema der nächsten drei bis fünf Jahre sein. Ich sehe ein enormes Potenzial bei institutionellen Investoren, für die wir bis zu XX Prozent Renten und Cash verwalten. Vor allem müssen wir jedoch nachhaltige Mindeststandards etablieren. Ich gehe davon aus, dass sich aus der Vielzahl der möglichen Faktoren schnell die wichtigsten Kriterien herausbilden werden, die Analysten leicht in ihr Tagesgeschäft integrieren können."

neutral  Andreas Hild: Correct for "your retirement". May miss the point from the perspective of an investor.

  -> superannuation funds are also called retirement funds. They are both investment funds. Not sure why an investor may miss the point.

disagree  RobinB: These aren't pension funds of any form, but simply fixed-income investments (bonds and similar debt instruments). Though it's admittedly confusing sometimes, because "Renten" can mean both "bonds" and "pensions", depending on the context.

disagree  pj-ffm: "Bond" would normally be "Anleihe". In this context it's "fixed income" and a bond is just one of many fixed income products (that may, or may not be included in a pension fund. Don't confuse "Rente" with "Renten" here.)
11 hrs

agree  RobinB: @pj-ffm: "Renten" is a standard term for bonds, with "Anleihen" just one of many German terms used to described these instruments. But "fixed income" would certainly be the term of choice here (which of course has nothing to do with pension funds)
