Strategy

Seeks to achieve high total returns through current income and capital preservation by:

  • Employing a global multisector bond approach in search of the best opportunities.

  • Dynamically balancing credit and duration through investments in high yield and emerging market sectors to enhance income and dampen interest-rate risk, and in high-quality investment-grade bonds to alleviate credit risk when markets are stressed.

  • Investing in the fixed-income securities of issuers that are positively exposed to environmentally- or socially-oriented sustainable investment themes, primarily Climate, Health, Empowerment and Institutions.

  • Applying a top-down thematic screening process for UNSDG-alignment, including a focus on analyzing an issuer’s environmental and social impact, and a rigorous bottom-up ESG integration approach, including a proprietary ESG scoring as part of the issuer assessment.
