Beyond sustainable creditOur investment focus directs capital towards sustainable companies.We aim to create a positive impact and live by example.Our performance is based on three pillars.I Credit & beyondOur investment expertise is based on corporate credit. Over the past decade it has evolved to related asset classes to also cover sovereigns and supranationals. We have a track record in identifying rising stars and falling angels. We are credit specialists but our investment horizon goes further.II SustainabilityOur analysis goes beyond the shareholder value approach. We focus on companies that are tangibly committed to making a positive impact on society and the environment. We like leaders, but improvers make the difference.III Data, Research & TechnologyData is the foundation for quantitative insight. We access multiple data sources to add value for our clients. While modern technology allows us to produce data-informed research, we believe strongly in the human aspect of decision making.
