With additional contributions from investment analyst Elroy Ng.

When it comes to decarbonising the world - the scale of the challenge can feel overwhelming.

It’s going to need astronomical levels of capital, a reconfiguration of markets, and radical regulation. And it needs to happen fast. If you’re an investor trying to align portfolios with climate pathways as well as capture all of the opportunities that are out there related to the energy transition - it's a lot to think about.

In this edition of Fidelity Answers, Katie Constance, Head of Sustainability for European distribution, is joined by Gabriel Wilson-Otto, Head of Sustainable Investing Strategy, and Portfolio Managers Kris Atkinson and James Richards to discuss the practical steps investors can take, where the risks lie, and importantly where to look for those opportunities.

With additional contributions from Adrian Benedict and Nina Flitman.

Fidelity Answers: How to invest in the energy transition

China has come out with a string of policies that are targeted to reinvigorate economic growth. Some of the policies are adding leverage to the government’s balance sheet. A question that investors are asking is: how much more will China realistically spend to stimulate the economy?

So far, these policies have focused on shoring up demand - unlike after the financial crisis, when China spent trillions of renminbi to expand supply. That is an importance difference because it implies policymakers remain disciplined in the way they choose to manage debt.

Marty Dropkin, Head of Equities, Asia Pacific, asks Fidelity International’s Director of Research for Fixed Income, Asia Pacific, Bich Nguyen, and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager, Tae Ho Ryu, about how investors should approach the issue.

With an additional contribution from Portfolio Manager Olivia He.

This episode was recorded on September 12th, 2024, before the most recent policy measures were announced.
