ESG investors believe that factors such as a company’s contribution to society’s well-being may be better predictors of its long-term performance than technical valuations alone. Recent policy guidance from China’s leadership acknowledges investors are also key stakeholders whose interests must be considered as reforms are rolled out. This tone shift could be a tailwind for China’s internet platforms, whose stock performance suffered from the implementation of new regulations last year. We believe China’s internet platforms’ long-term prospects are positive, thanks to attractive valuations and societal contributions spurred on by these new regulations.
