ESG investing: our approach
RBC BlueBay believes that ESG factors can potentially have a material impact on an issuer’s long-term financial performance. Given the limited upside (and potentially significant downside) of fixed income investments, the focus of our ESG analysis is on understanding downside risks.
Investment approach
An actively-managed, long-only strategy
A deep, fundamental research-orientated approach which focuses on bottom-up security selection and has capital preservation at its core
Explicitly and proactively incorporating ESG considerations into credit and risk analysis
Utilises negative and norms based screening, full integration into credit analysis process and ongoing corporate engagement to achieve ESG goals
Top down macro inputs help inform regional allocations, thematic credit strategies and overall beta within the portfolio
BlueBay believes that taking into account environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors is an important aspect of the investment process. As such, ESG integration – the systematic review of material ESG investment risks, is applied across all our funds. We have been a UN-PRI signatory since 2013
