SCI In Conversation podcast 
In the latest episode, Pemberton Capital Advisors director Naomi Prasad discusses whether we should we be talking about “ESG” or “sustainability” in the context of the securitisation market and which ESG strategies are proving effective in the CLO management space. She also outlines how sustainability can be better integrated at both the corporate and individual level.

Calculated and rebalanced on a monthly basis by Mark Fontanilla & Co, the index provides market participants with a benchmark reference point for pricing in the private risk transfer market by aggregating issuer and investor views on pricing.
