ESG Impact in Municipal Bonds

Description:

ESG, as an investment approach can vary widely—some investors focus on assessing opaque risks, such as transition risk, others look for positive environmental or social impact. Green, social and sustainability bonds are tools that issuers of bonds can use to communicate positive environmental or social attributes of their financed activities. The additional transparency that should come with green, social and sustainability bonds allows investors to make informed decisions about alignment with their bespoke ESG strategies or investment mandates. This session will provide insights on labelled municipal bonds as well as observations on assessing risk mitigants and impact across the US municipal market.
