    JPMorgan’s Hands-On China Series Views you can use Transcript – Doug Ogden December 2006 NEW REPORT Investment Opportunities in China’s Clean Energy Technology In this presentation to global investors, Douglas Ogden, Director of the China Sustainable Energy Program in Beijing and Executive Vice President of The Energy Foundation in San Francisco, discussed the numerous opportunities for clean energy technology investment in China. These opportunities depend on social investment in upstream policies that shape markets conducive to modern, clean energy technologies. China’s traditional energy technologies, based predominantly on oil and relatively dirty coal, are priced well below social costs, skewing China’s market in favor of inefficient, Doug Ogden outmoded, and heavily polluting energy technologies. The current unsustainable situation has enormous public health and environmental costs. Director, China Sustainable These conditions, however, are being gradually reversed through concerted public policy Energy Program and legal institutional capacity building supported by international non-profits, multilateral Executive Vice President, banks, and the business community. Energy Foundation Engagement in policy development and implementation can be a highly successful strategy for creating market opportunities for clean energy technologies: Witness the progress over the last 8 years that have ushered in: China’s advanced fuel economy standards—driving markets in advanced engine technologies; The national renewable energy law and wind concessions—creating

  • General Motors & China‟S Automotive Market
    GENERAL MOTORS & CHINA‟S AUTOMOTIVE MARKET A public lecture by Michael J. Dunne, author American Wheels, Chinese Roads November 30, 5:00 – 6:00 pm Blau Auditorium, Ross School of Business University of Michigan Reception and Book Signing 6:00 – 6:45 American Wheels, Chinese Roads, The Story of General Motors in China (Wiley 2011) gives a vivid account of how GM secured the strategic partnership with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp that propelled their joint venture to top position in the world‟s largest, fastest-growing, and highly-competitive auto market. While huge losses in the U.S. market during the global financial crisis forced the company into bankruptcy, requiring a bailout by the U.S. government, its operations in China saw record increases in sales and profits. In this talk, author Mike Dunne will summarize the book‟s narrative, highlighting how GM‟s executive team navigated the challenges posed by China‟s complex and unique business environment. He will also discuss and take questions on the current state of the auto industry in China and other Asian countries. A Detroit-area native, Mike obtained his BA, MBA and MA in Asian Studies at the University of Michigan, where he became fluent and literate in the Chinese and Thai languages. His entrepreneurial venture, Automotive Resources Asia, established in Bangkok in 1992, and subsequently expanded to China, was one of the earliest consultancies on the Asian automotive industry. After selling it to J.D. Powers & Associates in 2006, Mike served as the market research company‟s Vice-President for Asia-Pacific till 2009.

  • Friday May 9, 2014
    Friday May 9, 2014 BACKGROUND Despite limited natural resources, Asia’s economic performance and competitiveness has performed well, with Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan in the top 10 ranking of the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Index. Indonesia and the Philippines are also rapidly gaining ground, while China, leads the BRICS economies by a wide margin as its institutional framework improves and its financial market matures. Those Asian economies with strong institutions and ample innovative capacity have the ability to do better than its neighbors without these assets. This half day symposium aims to address macro issues relating to global competitiveness in Asia, and sets out to advance thinking and knowledge that enables the global economy to remain productive in the long term. RUNDOWN 9:15 Welcome 9:20 Introductory Remarks 9:30 – 10:45 Panel I Competitiveness in Asia: Maintaining Innovation for Economic Growth With an average annual growth rate of close to six percent in the past decade, Asia’s share of the global economy has risen to a third. Yet while the economic performance and competitiveness of Asian countries improves, the disparities among the countries are deeper than other regions. What are the regional trends for competitiveness? Who are the competitive champions and what are their advantages? What are countries doing to address the issue of educating and building a workforce with the right skillset to complement economic development?

  • Ft Business of Asset Management Executing Investor Strategies in a Fast-Changing Marketplace
    FT BUSINESS OF ASSET MANAGEMENT EXECUTING INVESTOR STRATEGIES IN A FAST-CHANGING MARKETPLACE 21 June 2012 • Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong Platinum Sponsors Gold Sponsors ZBLACHC20248DGG_HK_part2_Event_210x297_E2.indd 1 18/06/2012 3:10 PM WELCOME Dear Guest, On behalf of the Financial Times and our partners FTfm and Ignites Asia, I am delighted to welcome you to the inaugural FT Business of Asset Management summit. With the global economy facing a period of extreme uncertainty, much attention is being focused on the flow of money in and out of Asia. The region’s emerging and developed markets are seeing slowing growth, but assets under management held by large institutional investors are continuing to expand, and the newly and increasingly wealthy middle class are giving renewed life to the retail sector. This combination provides enormous strategic opportunities for asset management firms, particularly in light of the crisis in Europe and moribund growth in other Western markets. However, many challenges have to be overcome for the region’s full potential to be realised. Investors’ requirements in their search for outperformance are becoming more complex in the current volatile environment, while managers must also prepare for major regulatory changes, particularly in big emerging markets like China, that will determine not only the pace of their expansion but also the solutions they develop to optimise returns. We are fortunate to be able to welcome CEOs and CIOs from some of the world’s top asset management companies, as well as leading institutional investors and regulators, to discuss in detail the major factors affecting this rapidly evolving sector and how participants are positioning themselves for future opportunity and risk at a time of momentous change.
