Responsible investment in fixed income: The road ahead
Responsible investment in practice: carbon transition risks and opportunities in corporate bonds

Our head of Investor Outreach in North America is speaking at this event for credit analysts and portfolio managers, organised by the PRI.

Demand for responsible investment (RI) in fixed income continues to grow as institutional investors take a more holistic approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) integration across asset classes, and as the quality and availability of ESG data facilitates more robust integration. Responsible investment is now undeniably a priority for the world’s largest institutional investors which are using the six Principles for Responsible Investment as a way of managing credit risk, unlocking value, and driving positive impact alongside financial returns.

This full-day event will highlight the importance of ESG issues in assessing issuer creditworthiness, and showcase best practices in ESG integration for credit analysts and portfolio managers.
