About this talk

2020 has been a challenging year on many fronts. As many countries continue to grapple with the economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic, one global theme to emerge and grow in importance is sustainable responsible investing and the incorporation of ESG practices into the investment process. Whilst many of the developed markets continue to face challenges caused by the pandemic, the swift economic recovery in China continues and as business returns to a new normal, the interest and attention of the global investor community is now focused on accessing these growing opportunities in China. Whilst global capital searches for yield in new markets, a key issue that investors face is the difficulties of integrating ESG when investing in a fast developing and diverse market like China. With advances in technology, including AI and Machine Learning we examine how to effectively support the ESG integration and investment decision making process in the Chinese market. Please join our webcast to hear how experts from one of Europe’s leading fiduciary manager for Dutch pension funds APG and China’s largest asset manager E Fund who have developed a partnership to address these challenges and invest sustainably in China.
