Which of the following is most accurate regarding ESG issues in fixed income?
选项:
A.The ESG interests of long-term fixed income and equity investors do not often align B.For sovereign issuers, ESG engagement is a more common approach than applying an ESG tilt C.The probability of successful engagement is higher for private debt investors than for public debt investors解释:
C is correct because "the greatest opportunity to push for conditions and disclosures around ESG is likely to be pre-issuance. This can be difficult to implement in fast-moving public markets, but is easier to effect in private debt issuance."
A is incorrect because "in almost all cases relating to ESG matters at companies that are going concerns, the interests of long-term investors (whether they are exposed to equity or debt) very much align".
B is incorrect because "the ESG approach usually applied in this asset class sovereign debt is screening or an ESG tilt in the investment process rather than engagement."
