    ESG factors are fast becoming a key consideration within investors’ portfolios; driven by active awareness and the desire to do good, increasing regulation and the potential for longer-term value creation and risk management. However, fixed income investors are confronted with jargon, complexity and tragedy of the horizon. Sara will discuss Aon’s approach to assessing whether and how fund managers integrate material ESG risk factors into their investment decision-making process to determine if the effort is genuine and meaningful.
