Islands of Promise: Why the ASEAN Region Matters

FEG’s Approachable Asia 2020 event was scheduled for this fall in Singapore, where we planned on venturing abroad to learn first-hand about the unique challenges and opportunities of international investing in a board room setting. Our goal was to provide clients the opportunity to meet with top investment and economic leaders, including local asset managers and companies. With travel and in-person events being halted due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have opted to offer the same content through our Approachable Asia podcast series.In this episode, we chat with ASEAN expert James Johnstone of RWC Partners.Topics covered include: Why should investors care about the ASEAN region?How have e-commerce giants impacted ASEAN consumer trends?How has the pandemic impacted ASEAN tourism and healthcare industries?What opportunities are there for the ASEAN region as the U.S. decouples from China?What are the best ways to access ASEAN countries in a portfolio?You can find every episode of FEG Insight Bridge podcasts in one place and sign up to receive our other publications here.
