The Hong Kong Management Association is launching its Professional Certificate Programme in Global ESG Investing, in collaboration with CFA Institute. The programme will adopt the syllabus and course materials of the institute’s Certificate in ESG Investing. As well as introductory topics, the programme will cover: engagement and stewardship; ESG analysis, valuation and integration; integrated portfolio construction and management; as well as investment mandates, portfolio analytics, and client reporting. “Talents with ESG-related knowledge and skillsets are extremely sought-after now, both locally and internationally,” said Titania Woo, Executive Director of the association. “As Hong Kong has raised the bar for banks, publicly listed companies, asset managers and insurers to comply with ESG disclosure requirements by 2025, the city needs a lot more talents with ESG expertise to help firms integrate ESG principles into their strategy.”
