As bonds suffer the worst quarter in more than four decades we are exploring one of the fastest-growing segments in the fixed income markets where demand is still accelerating. It\'s in ESG, environmental, social, and governance standards being applied to corporate and government bond issuers and specific issues themselves. 

\\n

In part 2 of our interview with industry pioneer Steve Liberatore, we explore both ESG fixed income investing, as well as the relatively new area of impact investing where bond proceeds are directed to a specific project or goal and the results are measurable.   

\\n

In the previous episode about the state of the bond market in general, still very timely, you\\u2019ll know that Liberatore is the lead portfolio manager and head of ESG/impact for global fixed income at Nuveen, the investment arm of TIAA and a pioneer in the field. 

\\n


\\n

Liberatore will give us an update on socially responsible fixed income investing as well as a fascinating lesson on how impact investing works and the unusual opportunities in it.
