Fidelity's investment team has just returned from a research trip to the US West Coast where they met with some of the biggest names in technology. They dug into a range of issues with their hosts including privacy, regulation and competition, as well as the latest innovations and their potential applications. One of the most interesting was 5G, which promises to increase network bandwidth significantly and in the process revolutionise connectivity and consumers' digital experiences. But 5G presents a battleground for supremacy between the US and China. So who will win this high-stakes contest and what else will this disruptive technology do?

Richard Edgar, Editor-in-Chief, talks to Sumant Wahi, Portfolio Manager, and Jonathan Tseng, Senior Technology Analyst. With contributions from Tina Tian, Investment Analyst, Ranjeev Juty, Equity Research Analyst, and Amit Lodha, Portfolio Manager.

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.
