Sustainable Euro Credit

Combines a top-down market view with bottom-up corporate fundamental analysis

The philosophy

ESG within the Euro Credit team

Four elements to our process

the philosophy

*ESG integration refers to the inclusion of Environmental, Social and Governance issues in investment analysis and decisions. ESG integration doesn't necessarily imply that investment vehicles also seek to generate a positive ESG impact. ESG risk, assessment remains subjective, in particular due to the lack of standardized methodology within the financial industry.

**Exclusion could occur during selection process or upon review.

 

 

Reasons to consider

To offer consistent excess return potential versus the benchmark, the team seeks to utilize a conservative alpha investment process.

The strategy combines top-down research with bottom-up fundamental analysis, and is actively managed by seven managers, each of whom is a sector specialist. This results in a collaborative, team-based approach with a focus on risk and relative value.

In managing corporate bond portfolios, we have a beta-driven risk orientation, typically resulting in highly diversified portfolios by sector, ratings and issuers.

The strategy employs a proprietary ESG process emphasizing screening, integration, engagement, and exclusion incorporated into company research. ESG is an integral part of the bottom-up process, and the team uses internal and third-party ESG research. It will also engage issuers and exclude those that they think are a material concern and/or if engagement is unsuccessful.

Adopting a highly specialist and collaborative approach, the strategy aims to outperform the wider Euro Corporate Index with significantly less volatility”
