WTW believes that fixed-income managers can play a significant role in furthering the pace of progress by fully integrating ESG into their strategy, improving transparency, and measuring progress and outcomes to further strengthen the financial linkages between ESG and bond performance.
This WTW paper:
- Breaks down the material risks and opportunities across fixed income from an asset owner’s view, focusing on the four main subsectors of fixed income: corporate, sovereign, securitised and private debt.
- Shares best practices observed from asset managers and provides questions asset owners can ask of their own managers to promote further ESG integration.
- Highlights WTW’s framework of assessing the sustainability practices of managers, engagement, and sourcing.
The fixed-income ESG market continues to grow globally, and asset owners are increasing exposure.
