To seek out absolute-return target values, the focus for market participants has switched to thematic investment strategies across many global markets including China and the UK. In China, we have seen investors focusing on themes such as “New China Economy”, “5G and Automation” and “New Energy and Sustainability”, etc. when considering thematic investment. Thematic investing focuses at the long-term investment horizon and acts as a forward-looking approach that serves to capitalize on anticipated changes in our world. However, it may not be immune to immediate market complications, especially with the arising uncertainties and challenges from COVID-19.
This webinar seeks to speak to the two investment management experts in China and in the UK to discuss:
