Sustainable Fixed Income Portfolio Management

In Sustainable Fixed Income, Christoph Klein, together with several leading managers and academics, delivers expert coverage of fixed-income research and credit analysis guided by sustainability objectives. Part One describes the fixed-income market, beginning with a brief history and then introducing government bonds as its cornerstone. It discusses the assumption that government bonds from leading developed countries can still be considered risk-free. Part Two covers the measurement of corporate credit risk. The author explains how to build a comprehensive quantitative Credit Rating Model that incorporates ESG key performance indicators (KPIs) for individual issuers. Part Three discusses ESG risk assessments and ratings, as well as the link between ESG and credit risk. It provides examples of how artificial intelligence (AI) can help investors and risk managers detect and monitor risks. Part Four provides an overview of sustainable finance instruments, such as green bonds, as well as principles and developments in global capital markets. It includes regulators’ perspectives on how banks must measure and manage ESG and climate risks and discusses how fixed-income investors can generate impact. Furthermore, this section provides insights into the recommended skills for market participants. An insightful and comprehensive discussion of a timely subject in credit risk analysis, Sustainable Fixed Income will earn a prominent place in the libraries of portfolio managers, risk professionals, fixed-income securities analysts, investors, financial officers, treasurers and traders everywhere.
