About RP Broad Corporate Bond (Fossil Fuel Exclusion)

The launch of the Fossil Fuel Exclusion (FFE) strategy was driven by our mission to understand the evolving needs of our institutional clients. We partnered with an existing client that was in search of a solution that aligned with their long-term investment and ESG objectives. This collaboration enabled us to support their carbon reduction goals and create a product that not only meets financial objectives but also aligns with our clients' values. Uniquely, the FFE strategy aims to deliver on dual goals: over 100bps (net) of outperformance in addition to a lower weighted average carbon intensity than the already-carbon-reduced Index.

This strategy was borne out of our mission to partner with our clients and growing with them as needs evolve, and in filling those gaps in the market, we continue to be able to support new investors fulfill their missions as well. In this case, the FFE strategy helps TAF fulfill their mission to generate positive environmental outcomes while also achieving the desired level of diversification within their portfolio. 

Building Longstanding Partnerships

A comment from Simon Segall, a board member on TAF’s Investment Committee, stood out to us:

“The number one thing I like about our new [fund manager] is that they enable us to better align our fixed income allocation with TAF’s values – something that was not possible in the fixed income arena just a few years ago.”

We are proud of this new partnership and the ability to offer innovative solutions to investors that align with their values – a testament to our own mission. We look forward to building a longstanding relationship with TAF as we partner together on this journey.
