Global investment management firm Brown Advisory recently appointed Anna Rudgard as a fixed income environmental, social and governance analyst on its new Global Sustainable Fixed Income team, according to a press release.
Rudgard joins the team from AON, where she served as a senior consultant in its manager research team and lead researcher for fixed income ESG strategies.
"We are excited about adding to the fixed income ESG research team, providing further depth to Brown Advisory's existing ESG expertise, as we expand our new global sustainable fixed income proposition and build on the success of our existing fixed income offering in the U.S.," Tim Hathaway, CFA, head of U.S. institutional business at Brown Advisory, said in the press release.
The Global Sustainable Fixed Income team is set to launch its first strategy later this year, marking the first time the company’s ESG fixed income expertise will be available outside of the U.S.
"Brown Advisory has a strong reputation for sustainable investing and this is an exciting time for our expanding Global Sustainable Fixed Income team," Ryan Myerberg, partner and portfolio manager at Brown Advisory, said in the release. "In a macroeconomic environment that is challenging investors with inflationary headwinds, shifting monetary policy and rich valuations for risk assets, our sustainable investing principles and process are well-aligned with long-term performance durability, offering a compelling fixed income option for clients seeking quality, flexibility and global diversification in their portfolios."
An independent and privately held firm based in New York City, Brown Advisory oversees more than $135 billion in client assets.
