Learn how the traditional fixed income investing process can be augmented by sustainable investing frameworks
About this Event
When it comes to fixed income investing, investors’ mindsets are often centred around managing risk and volatility traditionally associated with fixed income investing, while preserving the value of their investments. However, investing in climate bonds and sustainable debt products issued by socially responsible companies can be a new way to reduce risk in their portfolios
In the second part of a series on ESG investing, join Sam Rhee, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Endowus, and four ESG global fixed income investment experts they discuss:
- Their firms’ approaches to sustainable investing and ESG strategies
- How fund managers incorporate ESG metrics into their investment frameworks
- How sustainable bonds are evaluated as investments
- What makes a good or bad ESG fixed income portfolio
