Bonding Over Fixed Income: Beyond ESG Ratings and Labels

High net worth investors are increasingly demanding ESG solutions from their financial advisors. But how do you fill that need when it comes to the fixed income side of the portfolio? In this comprehensive 1-hour webinar, we’ll explore why an active approach to sustainable investing may be the key to escaping the broad-brush approach of just chasing “green bonds.” The fixed income experts at MacKay Shields, sub-advisor for several IndexIQ ETFs, and ETF Trends will explore the current marketplace, what investors should be looking for from their external fixed income managers, and ways in which asset managers can add value.

About Risk

There is no assurance that investment objectives can be met. All investments are subject to risk and will fluctuate in value. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) managers may take into consideration factors beyond traditional financial information to select securities, which could result in relative investment performance deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. Further, ESG strategies may rely on certain values-based criteria to eliminate exposures found in similar strategies or broad market benchmarks, which could also result in relative investment performance deviating.
