As investors, we believe ESG fixed income – or bonds – could soon rise to a place of leadership in sustainable investing.

Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) are tax-advantaged and yield-oriented publicly traded U.S. infrastructure assets that operate primarily in the oil and gas midstream industry.

Traditional preferred securities (“preferreds”) are fixed-income investments with equity-like features mainly issued by large banks and insurance companies.

Hedged share classes can be a useful tool for mutual fund investors to gain exposure to assets denominated in foreign currencies, without taking on the full accompanying currency risk.

Offering a wide range of potential opportunities for active investors, sustainable bonds are an increasingly important part of global fixed income markets.
