Calamos Sustainable Equities Team

China’s government is all-in on the environment, but investors seeking to capitalize on this policy focus need to be selective and risk-aware, according to the Calamos Sustainable Equities Team. In “Investing in China’s Clean Energy Transition: The Calamos Sustainable Equities Team Approach,” the team discusses how they identify opportunities in a complex environment.

Key viewpoints:

• Chinese companies and industries that are aligned with the government’s strategic priorities and regulatory focus are positioned for significant tailwinds, while those that do not align entail high levels of risk.
• Investors must also be prepared for shifting policy priorities as well as geopolitical uncertainties.
• The Chinese government’s 15th Five-Year plan clearly affirms the country’s commitment to sustainable initiatives and innovation.
• Although corporate governance still lags, it has improved and a commitment to sustainability disclosures could go a long way in creating a more favorable investment landscape. Other positives include the growth of green financing.
• Select Chinese companies offer significant long-term runways for growth, benefiting from commanding positions in the clean energy economy.
