Key Credit Convictions for Investors Seeking Alpha
It’s a critical time for investors to consider whether their fixed income allocations are aligned with their goals – and we see several key bright spots across the global credit landscape.
Our ESG Approach
We believe ESG factors can have a negative or positive impact on investment performance across sectors, issuers, and regions
We place greater value on the direction and momentum of change on ESG issues than on a company’s starting point
We believe active engagement of bondholders can be effective in raising issuers’ awareness of and responsiveness to ESG risks
