ESG considerations are a core part of the investment process of Artemis’ global high-yield bond strategy. However, the team have a strong belief in differentiated ESG analysis being integrated at the investment research level, allowing for unique insights that can drive investment performance.  

Jack Holmes set out how the team’s differentiated ESG approach helps them to unlock attractive opportunities across the high-yield market and how this can form part of a pension fund's climate strategy. 

This was followed by a roundtable discussion with Q&A and shared insights, moderated by Karen Shackleton of Pensions for Purpose.

Who was this event for?

This event was for UK professional investors only and open to asset owners or their representatives, such as pension fund trustees, in-house executives, investment consultants and advisers.
