2024 Global Corporate Credit Engagement Report

In recent years a variety of market-disrupting events have underscored the importance of active ownership and the analysis of financially material governance, social and environmental factors for pecuniary reasons in fundamental credit research and investment decision-making.

As highlighted in our prior engagement reports, Neuberger Berman views direct issuer engagement as a critical tool to mitigate portfolio risks while seeking to generate long-term sustainable returns.
