Investment Strategist, Matthews Asia
For investors looking to make a difference with ESG investing, Asia and emerging markets present some of the best opportunities to make long-term improvements to the region — and the world. Join Matthews Asia Investment Strategist Andy Rothman and Head of ESG Kathlyn Collins as they discuss investors’ top-of-mind questions about China, common concerns about the region’s sustainability challenges and how responsible investing may make a bigger impact in these markets. You’ll hear a framework for presenting the opportunity in China to clients, how to put ESG investing in these markets into context, and why we believe it’s possible to achieve long-term growth and positive outcomes.
