Where are the opportunities in sustainable fixed income?

By

The ESG fixed income market has seen impressive growth since its establishment more than a decade ago, but more recently, performance has been lacking

Despite this, many believe the market will see a resurgence. And some even say fixed income is "the most mature and developed segment of the sustainable finance universe” and is offering large potential for diversification.

In this podcast, which is worth 30 minutes of CPD, we speak to Kris Atkinson, fixed income portfolio manager at Fidelity International, Stuart Chilvers, fixed income fund manager at Rathbones, and Minesh Patel, a chartered financial planner and director of EA Financial Solutions, about how they navigate the current market and where the future opportunities lie.
