Wellington Global Credit Buy and Maintain

As well as our proprietary, bottom-up research of individual credit issuers and sectors, we integrate macroeconomic factors and regulatory and ESG considerations into our investment approach. We think our success derives in large part from our collaboration with experts in their field across Wellington, be they actuaries, climate scientists or stewardship specialists.
