We actively invest with a bottom-up understanding of the high-grade fixed income universe.

A variety of market forces can cause prices to become disconnected from fundamentals, which creates opportunities in our markets. Our goal is to exploit these tactically to benefit our clients through our disciplined, time-tested investment process.

Central to our strategies is our approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues within the countries and sectors in which we invest. Our integration of these factors begins at the portfolio level and is aligned with our risk evaluation processes and the sources of return we seek, with an understanding of the risks that are embedded in particular exposures to issuers or macro themes.

Through our proprietary framework of Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), we focus on the most financially material ESG risks relative to peer groups and changing dynamics within each sector.

This allows for a more comprehensive, quantifiable investment analysis, including:

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
