Institutional Investors

RPIA's approach is to apply a highly active, dynamic investment process that enables us to consistently extract value from the global credit market, driven by security selection. Investors do not need to compromise on credit quality or sacrifice liquidity to improve their portfolio returns. Our active approach can be distilled into four steps:

1. The members of our Investment Committee use their expertise and experience to collaborate and identify a key theme based on prevailing macroeconomic conditions.

2. The Credit Research Team conducts deep-dive research to determine the most compelling issuer, drawing from their knowledge of the sectors each team member covers.

3. We utilize our proprietary technology and expertise to identify the most attractively priced bond within that issuer's capital structure

4. The Portfolio Management Team sizes the position accordingly within the strategy based on factors such as conviction level, existing exposures, and liquidity considerations, to name a few.

The entire process is overseen by our independent Risk Management Team and Committee, who analyze policy constraints, stress testing, and concentrations across strategies.

RPIA considers Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") factors when making investment decisions for all the strategies we manage. When we include these factors alongside traditional financial metrics, we can think more broadly about risk and make more prudent investment decisions. In other words, it is in the best interests of our investors to integrate ESG into our process. Through our in-depth credit research, we are in regular communication with the management teams of the issuers in which we invest. We have also partnered with an institutional investor to design a strategy that targets specific ESG outcomes and, in this case, an Environmental outcome. We have been a signatory to UN PRI since 2018 and have several other industry memberships (learn more).
