Book excerpt: China, officially the People's Republic of China, includes Mainland China and two special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macao. The political, legal and economic systems of Mainland China are different from those of the special administrative regions. The development stage of responsible investment (RI) in Hong Kong is more advanced than that in Mainland China, while RI in Macau is still under-developed and has rarely been discussed. Therefore, this chapter uses data from Mainland China to avoid ambiguity and maintain clarity.RI in China differs from the conventional definition that incorporates financial objectives with additional considerations of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) criteria into the investment process. In the Chinese context, RI signifies the adoption of four selection criteria - economic indicators, ethics, sustainability and legal issues; hence these criteria represent preferences towards government policy, tax and legal requirements in portfolio selection. RI mutual funds in China can be ESG inclusive, fully integrating ESG criteria into investment, or ESG themed, such as environmentally-friendly funds, low-carbon funds and sustainable investment funds. Besides RI mutual funds, institutional and individual investors can also invest in ESG-themed pension funds, life and property insurance, renewable energies, green projects, etc. Compared with RI mutual funds, RI applied to other asset classes, such as venture capital, hedge fund and private equity, are relatively insignificant. This chapter seeks to provide an overview of RI in China. It begins with a statistical overview of China's social and economic background in order to provide some thoughts on the driving forces of RI. It is followed by reporting the historical progress and state of the RI market in China and showing the rapid growth of the RI mutual funds industry. It then discusses the practices of RI institutions, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of support and engagement activities in China. It further briefly discusses the most urgent ESG risks, the most risk-exposed industries and the most controversial companies in China. In the end, it provides suggestions to promote the development of RI from both policy and investment perspectives.

Book excerpt: The authors have done an excellent job explaining the development and practice of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). Under the recent recognition of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Asia and its strong emphasis by US and European corporations, this book provides important guidance to students and professionals who are interested in the effects and implications of SRI. This book is truly informative and should be on the reading list of all fund managers and CFOs of international corporations which are serious about CSR. Louis T.W. Cheng, Hong Kong Polytechnic University Individual investors and corporate heads have the responsibility to keep abreast of major changes in the marketplace. Socially responsible investment is one of those changes. Fung, Law and Yau provide, in a single source, a great opportunity to get up to date on an area that will be a force for years to come. I encourage any thoughtful investor or manager to read this book. Thomas Schneeweis, University of Massachusetts Amherst, US Socially responsible investment (SRI) is becoming increasingly popular and can be potentially rewarding to all parties concerned. This book discusses the opportunities, challenges, and practices of SRI in a global financial environment in a consistent and integrated framework of risk management. It also covers a wide variety of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues related to various participants, such as values-based retail, institutional investors, corporations, banks, supranational agencies, and non-governmental organizations. Readers are provided with the perspectives of SRI from various players in the financial community from values-based investors to fiduciaries to supranational agencies. The authors analyse the incorporation of ESG issues into investment practices within a regulatory, legal, reputational, and operational risk management framework. Academics, corporate executives, government regulators and policymakers, bankers, and non-governmental organizations involved with sustainable development will find much of interest in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 97.0, Westminster College, language: English, abstract: As a native of Hong Kong, I spent my entire adolescence in the changing socio-political atmosphere of the city, but have never researched in detail the financial risks that the city might have or what the economy is like in Hong Kong. The research of this paper helped me to better understand my own city, especially in regard to its financial and economical situation. It will start with a brief introduction so that the audience can also get a better idea about Hong Kong’s economy, how it was shaped, and what the future outlook will be. Hong Kong is located in East Asia, on the coast of China. It was a colony of the United Kingdom for 99 years, until July 1st 1997. It was then returned to the People Republic of China and became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR). In the following, there will be an analysis of ten factors that influence the financial aspects within the city, trading issues in Hong Kong, and its currency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable Development in Hong Kong provides a unique and pioneering examination of what the application of the ideas of sustainable development implies for Hong Kong with all its exceptional characteristics, political, social, ecological, and especially its very high urban density. The book brings together, for the first time, a broad cross-section of 21 public and private sector specialists in the many and varied aspects of sustainable development. In so doing, it demonstrates the breadth and depth of local knowledge and expertise in the subject, as well as the wide range of concepts and issues that will have to be considered and interests reconciled, for the concept to be fully implemented in Hong Kong. Sustainable development has been defined as: "development that meets the needs of today whilst not affecting the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Implementing this concept requires that decision-makers from all stakeholder groups (government, business and the public) not only commit to sustainable development, but also incorporate it at every level of decision-making regardless of the political, economic, social, technological, cultural and legal frameworks within which their decisions are made. It also requires that, before doing so, they hear, respect and utilize the input from each other in these decisions. Sustainable development was placed squarely on the political agenda in Hong Kong through the Chief Executive's commitment to it in his Policy Address in 1999. This was followed by the adoption of it as an overriding objective in Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy (2001) and the establishment of the Sustainable Development Unit (2001) and the Council for Sustainable Development (2003). This is a book for all who are concerned about Hong Kong's environment and about its future development. The exceptional nature of Hong Kong means that this book also provides a valuable extreme case study for all who work in the sustainable development field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent years there has been rapid consumer-led growth in investing in socially responsible companies to the extent that it has had an influence on corporate policies. New regulations recognise the public interest by requiring all pension funds to declare their ethical policy. Investors can no longer just consider the financial aspects of a company before investing but also have to consider the complex world of ethical investments. Should the ethical policy take precedence over the financial aspects? Should policies be inclusive or exclusive? What percentage of a company's income has to come from unacceptable sources before the source is excluded? Should any exclusion policy also extend to those involved in selling or transporting goods deemed unacceptable? This is the first book to look at socially responsible investment from the perspective of the institutional investor, who will be led through the complex dilemmas of socially responsible investment with practical examples and advice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Palgrave Pivot aims to build a bridge between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable finance in financial markets. It investigates classic CSR topics in the light of a modern conception of sustainability. The first part emphasizes four relevant topics in the CSR panorama of financial institutions: banks remuneration practices; human capital disclosure; the impact of environmental performance on banks, and finally, the institutional investors’ attitude towards socially responsible investments (SRIs). The second part explores CSR practices within the financial markets and discusses risk-return profiles of SRI and non-SRI indexes in different time frames. It investigates whether thematic social responsible funds obtain different risk-return than traditional funds, and finally, assesses whether equity crowdfunding could foster social innovation. This book is aimed at scholars and students who are interested in social impact investing and practitioners involved in the social impact market.
