Is Your Manager Nimble? The Sweet Spot for Managers in Investment Grade Credit
Bigger is not necessarily better in the investment-grade credit market. Smaller investment managers in the “sweet spot” for AUM may have greater potential to generate alpha.
Our Approach to ESG
We integrate ESG factors into the analysis and management of every portfolio, at both the fundamental credit research level as well as the top-down, portfolio aggregate level.
For illustrative purposes only. We are not soliciting or recommending any action based on this material.
An enhanced ability to position portfolios with the greatest risk/reward upside potential
An assessment of the opportunity cost of not participating in longer-term sector trends by focusing on forward-looking data
An analysis of both the direct and indirect ESG exposures to capture hidden, or less direct, risks with a financially material impact
The identification of potentially attractive issuers that are embracing better ESG disclosure
The discovery of cross-sector commonalities to enhance our assessment of broader value chains
