(C) Implementation: Integration

FI 10. Integration overview

10.1. Describe your approach to integrating ESG into traditional financial analysis.

Country screening is undertaken on a monthly basis. Any existing or potential new investments in countries which score below the threshold of BB require a rationale. Typically the only instances where this occurs is pure Asset-Liability matching, and not active positioning. ESG assessment of countries and issuers is carefully considered by portfolio managers when making decisions about active positioning in the portfolios.

10.2. Describe how your ESG integration approach is adapted to each of the different types of fixed income you invest in.

SSA

Internally developed ESG ratings and the dynamics of the underlying factors are monitored and followed by portfolio managers and constitute a firm component of a standard analysis conducted by portfolio managers when making active decisions. Given, however, that most of the active risk taking occurs in the high quality ESG space of the major developed market sovereign bonds, the ESG analysis does not typically affect the outcomes of the fundamental analysis to a large degree. For sovereign bonds held in countries with a low ESG rating, portfolio managers monitor the ESG developments and seek opportunities to improve the ESG scores when opportunities arise.

10.3. Additional information [OPTIONAL]
