Her promotion recognises her deep technical expertise, strong leadership and the critical role ESG and sustainability play within our Fixed Income business. Our rigorous, investment led ESG integration in fixed income continues to be a key differentiator and the majority of our Fixed Income AUM is ESG integrated1, with over a third in sustainable products or mandates.”
