Mandating Change Week 2021 | Asia Investor | 24 October 2021 | Virtual Event / HK Time

ABOUT THE EVENT
Buoyed by the impact of Covid 19, asset owners in Asia have finally responded to the urgency of ESG adoption and quickened their pace to include ESG in their investment processes. From exclusion to inclusion lists, investing in green bonds to building an ESG mandate and framework, asset owners are changing their investment behaviours to move toward ESG adoption.

Yet there are still challenges ahead. Universal ESG standards and reporting will likely never materialize, so asset owners must devise a clear roadmap to how they will manage an ESG portfolio in the future. For Asian asset owners, there lacks sufficient ESG coverage in the region. And performance measurement is another major issue as both asset managers and asset owners cannot fully replicate developed market models as information across different Asian countries is disparate and challenging.

Join us at this inaugural event where our guest asset owner and manager speakers will share their experiences in building their ESG framework and how they are addressing issues around ESG considerations. They will also discuss in-depth how they include ESG considerations into different asset classes and how they prepare themselves for a net-zero future.

Content Highlights:
• Incorporating ESG into the investment process
• ESG and the public markets
• ESG and the private markets
• From ESG to sustainable development goals (SDGs)
