By Marisa Wong

Los Angeles, Feb. 1 – Brown Advisory announced the launch of its global sustainable total return bond strategy.

The strategy takes a global, sustainable and dynamic approach to fixed income, seeking to offer investors access to an attractive stream of income and risk-adjusted returns while simultaneously generating a positive impact on global sustainability issues, according to a press release.

The strategy aims to deliver total returns over an economic cycle and act as a complement and counterbalance to equities in an investment portfolio.

It is launching initially with a Dublin UCITS fund, denominated in pounds sterling. Subsequent launches will include a Dublin UCITS fund denominated in U.S. dollars, and other vehicles are under consideration for the U.S. market. The strategy is also available to investors globally as a separately managed account.

The strategy invests in a broad range of liquid fixed-income instruments, including conventional and inflation-linked government bonds, securities and corporate bonds, in both developed and emerging markets, as well as using active currency exposure to deliver returns. It will provide differentiated exposure for investors beyond only labelled “green” or “social” bonds. It is guided by three central convictions:

The strategy is managed by Ryan Myerberg in London and Chris Diaz and Colby Stilson in the United States.

Brown Advisory is a an independent and privately held global investment management firm based in Baltimore.
