Information

Blair Reid, BlueBay Senior Portfolio Manager at RBC BlueBay Asset Management, discusses both the challenges and opportunities for a multi-asset credit manager when incorporating greater ESG into portfolios:

  • Will the yield suffer?
  • Do you have to work harder and look in different areas?
  • How can you manage the E and S so that it isn’t too heavily weighted one way?
  • Is it harder to have a MAC portfolio be lower in carbon that other credit strategies?
  • Are there additional opportunities opened-up via green/impact bonds?
