Overview

A hard-currency emerging markets debt strategy that invests in issuers that demonstrate environmental, social and governance leadership and are best positioned to address social and/or climate challenges, or securities that meet Nuveen’s proprietary fixed income direct and measurable impact framework.

Strategy highlights

  • Pursues excess return: Seeks to identify undervalued securities and outperform the benchmark by combining a global macro view, individual country assessments, fundamental research and relative value analysis
  • Invests for impact in public markets: Strives to maximize impact by directing capital to environmental and social projects across liquid, public fixed income markets

The strength of the strategy lies in the team’s ability to drive alpha primarily through bottom-up security selection and dynamic country allocations.
John Espinosa, Head of Global Fixed Income Research, Emerging Markets Sovereigns Portfolio Manager

Responsible investing incorporates Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors that may affect exposure to issuers, sectors, industries, limiting the type and number of investment opportunities available, which could result in excluding investments that perform well.
