INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Our constantly evolving ESG integration process is designed to incorporate the additional relative-value lens through which we manage our portfolios. This includes rankings against the broad sector as well as direct peer groups of the respective issuer. We also construct ESG sectoral views and ratings that supplement our fundamental analysis. Most importantly, our analysis includes the subjective views of our Credit Research and Portfolio Management Trading teams, who can apply their sectoral and market expertise to analyzing issuers and structures from an ESG perspective. The RP Barometer is a proprietary tool that aggregates all the data shown below and allows Credit Research, Trading, and Risk team members to find all relevant ESG information and relative rankings in one location in a consistent format for each company. The Barometer includes current and trend metrics ranked against comparable issuers and the overall industry and policy analysis, suggested discussion topics for each of the ESG pillars, and modules dedicated to Transition Risk and DEI analysis.
