Investing across credit sectors

Investing responsibly across credit sectors

Why consider a multi-sector credit strategy?

By investing across multiple credit sectors, including investment grade, high yield, asset-backed securities, loans and other select global opportunities, a strategy typically aims to capture potential capital gains or an attractive income, or both, while managing risk through market cycles.

Insight may also incorporate additional responsible investing factors into the investment process for its multi-sector credit strategies. They are a central feature of the Responsible Horizons Multi-Sector Credit Fund.

In fixed income markets, the majority of impact opportunities are available via use-of-proceeds bonds (also known as impact bonds), such as green bonds, which set out environmental or social projects that are eligible to be financed. It is also possible to pursue a positive impact by investing in conventional bonds of issuers that are generating a majority of revenues from activities that are assessed as sustainability-aligned. Insight seeks to assess impact bonds – such as green bonds – to ensure they meet our requirements for relevant portfolios. In this paper, we set out our assessment framework for such investments.5
