RPIA Investment Integration Overview

Background As global fixed income experts and stewards of our investors’ capital, we believe Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) factors can materially impact the risk and return profile of the corporate fixed-income securities in which we invest. Understanding these factors supports our primary fundamental and credit analysis to help us manage downside risk and present new opportunities to create value for investors. This overview aims to demonstrate how we consider ESG factors from an investment integration perspective.
