Craig Martin, Chairman of Dynam Capital, Investment Manager of Vietnam Holding #VNH gives an overview of the funds positive performance in October and what's to come. Monthly Investor Report A report detailing the activities of the Company for the month of October 2021 has been issued by Dynam Capital Limited, the investment manager of the Company. Electronic copies of the report have been made available to shareholders on the Company's website and a summary of the report is included below. Reopening on a greener and keener keel Vietnam's unique economic growth story made the international stage again in October. This time in Glasgow where Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh pledged alongside more than 40 other countries around the world to phase out coal and commit to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Speaking at the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26), he called for fairness and justice in dealing with global climate urgencies and discussed the Government's plans for trying to align its policies both with international investors' corporate governance expectations and Vietnamese citizens' own health and prosperity in mind.  Cities in the country's southern provinces were gradually reopening at the end of October and the vaccination rollout continued to pick up pace with nearly 60% of the population having at least one jab. Additionally, the Government fuelled domestic expenditure with more information about its stimulus programme (which is expected to include stricter green components) while some select companies surprised the market with solid earnings results for Q3 despite the Delta variant outbreak. Vietnam's equities market also made news for setting another record high in October and continuing its outperformance of other stock markets across the wider Asia-Pacific region, including China and India. The Fund sustained its outperformance of the Vietnam All Share (VNAS) index and NAV increased by +7.3% for the month, with gains stemming mainly from real estate investee companies as well as HPG, FPT and brokerage VND.  As COP26 continue to dominate headlines, it is important to consider how these companies can overcome the challenges of transitioning to clean energy and plan for a future without fossil fuels. Vietnam has quickly become a key country in global supply chains, and local company directors know they will be required not only to report about sustainability and their strategies for reducing carbon emissions but also take more action to ensure they achieve their goals and meet stakeholder demands.  VNH has always believed its stewardship role as a responsible investor is a very important one when it comes to environmental and social matters in Vietnam, and we will be enhancing our active engagement with boards and senior management of our portfolio companies in regard to climate risks. We will work with them more on how to measure and report about sustainability by providing training and encouraging them to adopt internationally accepted accounting standards. Earlier in 2021 the Fund's board pledged its own allegiance to the Paris Agreement and commitment to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) in addition to becoming a member of the Asia Investor Group for Climate Change (AIGCC). The portfolio's carbon footprint is also 32% lower than the VNAS index. This has been a result of the Fund's active management style in sector allocation and selection of best-in-class companies. VNH is nimble and can navigate small to large companies and maintain the high-level of engagement with investee companies on progressing their own ESG journeys too.  In our view, the climate change transition requires everyone to play their part and Vietnam is currently the largest market for renewable energy in the region and is proactively directing investment into a greater mix of clean sources that can interconnect in the grid over time. Foreign multinationals have continued to set up operations in the country partly given its strategic location at the cross point of Southeast and Northeast Asia and as the government carries on with its privatisation process and the freeing up of state capital. Foreign investors can also play an increasingly essential part of the ESG story in Vietnam, which now makes up 30% of the MSCI Frontier Market. As Vietnam's listed companies begin to raise their game on reporting on sustainability and other issues, and as capital market reforms continue to be implemented, the prospect of an eventual inclusion in the MSCI Emerging Market index may whet appetites further.

As COP26 comes to a close, there has been a flurry of commitments to invest trillions of dollars in green technologies and carbon neutral projects. That is the core of ESG investing (or is it?).ESG investing has grown exponentially since the famous 2015 Marc Carney's speech "Breaking the Tragedy of the Horizon" and the 2020 Blackrock letter “Because capital markets pull future risk forward, we will see changes in capital allocation more quickly than we see changes to the climate itself”. Numbers are dizzying. ESG investment has almost trebled over the last five years, reaching $50 trillion in assets in 2021.At the same time, ESG investing seems to be victim of its own success with inflated claims not met by facts. With more than 600 ratings and 5,000 metrics, ESG has become a maze where investors are drowned in an “alphabet soup” of standards while some financial institutions seem to be more focused on fees than purpose. At last, the regulators - whether the EU Commission or the SEC - are starting to intervene to create standards.To try to understand the dynamics of ESG investing, its challenges, effectiveness, and possible solutions, we have invited Catherine Howarth, CEO of Shareaction. Shareaction is a NGO working to assess the quality of sustainability practice of the world's largest institutional investors, and to hold investors accountable on the gap between their sustainability claims and actions. We exchange candidly with Catherine on ESG ratings, shareholders' activism, the divestment movement, and the role of regulators.ReferencesShareaction: https://shareaction.org/ Quilter on ESG: https://media.quilter.com/search/greenwashing-tops-investors-concerns-around-esg-products-new-research-finds/Talking Responsibly: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/talking-responsibly/id1547007524DivestInvest: https://www.divestinvest.org/“Doing Good or Feeling Good” by EDHEC: https://energycentral.com/c/ec/doing-good-or-feeling-good-detecting-greenwashing-climate-investing-edhecEU Taxonomy: https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/banking-and-finance/sustainable-finance/eu-taxonomy-sustainable-activities_enDWS (Deutsche Bank) rocked by $1trillion SEC greenwashing probe: https://www.internationalinvestment.net/news/4036306/dws-rocked-usd1trillion-sec-greenwashing-probe-reportsBank of International Settlements: “A taxonomy of taxonomies” https://www.bis.org/publ/bppdf/bispap118.pdf

As Cop26 concludes in Glasgow, we take the temperature of global greentech investment opportunities, thanks to a new report from the UBS Global Wealth Management CIO. Some of the report's co-authors describe the shift in global momentum to tackle the climate crisis, which has been happening over the last decade. While progress has been made on many fronts, including huge strides in renewable energy generation, much more remains to be done, and speed will be of the essence. So what does that process look like – and what does it mean for smart investors who are looking to make an enduring impact?

The intertwined legacies of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and former President Donald Trump. And, what happens to a country when its borders are eroded by climate change. Read more: Mitch McConnell is the most powerful elected Republican in the country. But the most influential member of the GOP is arguably still former president Donald Trump. That dynamic has become the basis for a tense, awkward, sometimes pugilistic alliance between the two men -- one that could define the future of the Republican Party. In recorded telephone interviews with the politicians, reporter Michael Kranish examines a relationship fraying at the seams. As COP26 concludes, the sinking island nation of Tuvalu prompts the question: Are you still a country if you're underwater? William Booth reported from the U.N. climate summit.

IA very Happy belated Diwali to one and all. As COP26 draws to a close, countries make their promises and hope to keep them to make a difference to the worsening climate crisis. Where does India stand? In sports, Rahul Dravid has been appointed as the head coach of the Indian men's cricket team. And in a quirk of evolution, elephants in Mozambique are being born without tusks to make themselves less attractive to poachers.

On this week's show: As COP26 wraps up, Canadian farmers on the front lines of climate change pitch environmental solutions and a clean energy advocate dissects international competition in the electric vehicle industry. Three former MPs discuss the pressures facing parties on both sides of the aisle ahead of Parliament's official return. Plus — a Remembrance Day conversation with an Afghan-Canadian who supported coalition forces in Afghanistan and a look at the politics of soccer in Canada.

As COP26 fizzles what is sport doing about climate action? Beijing 2022 will be carbon neutral but what about human rights? Plus AFL legend, Kevin Sheedy, on Aussie spirit & icons of sport.

Has has the past two weeks been a decisive moment for athlete climate activism? As COP26, the United Nations climate change conference, ends what impact has sport had on delivering for the future? Athletes, organisations and members of the sporting community have signed a manifesto calling on, amongst other things, net zero and to protect communities and natural habitats. We hear from English cricketer Joe Cooke, one of those who signed the manifesto. Plus Fiona Morgan is the Global Director of Purpose & Impact at SailGP, a championship that races all over the world but has added a sustainability aspect to the action, rewarding teams as much for their speed on the water as their impact on the environment. She told us about the role sport is playing at COP26 and what it's like to take part in one of the panel discussions at the summit. It's been a busy month for Vivianne Miedema, banging in the goals for Arsenal, nominated for the BBC Women's Footballer of the Year and alongside her partner, West Ham's Lisa Evans, joined the "Common Goal" movement. Created by Manchester United's Juan Mata, people donate 1% of their wages to support those in need all over the world. Viv and Lisa reveal a little bit about their life off the field and explain why they wanted to get involved. As a star of the NFL Mark Pattison knew what it was like to hit the heights of professional sport. When, in retirement, that feeling disappeared Mark was left asking himself questions about much more than sport. It lead him on an extraordinary adventure that saw him conquer the seven highest peaks on earth. We also hear from the recently retired international footballer, famed for saving a Leo Messi penalty at the World Cup finals and for being part of the Icelandic team who made it to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 by knocking out England. So what do you do if you're Hannes Thór Halldórsson and it's time to hang up the gloves? Go back to your original love... movies! Cop Secret is his first full-length film. The goalkeeper-turned-director explained all. This time last year Germany's Andreas Seewald was an electrician but always sparked into life by sport... and eventually, he found the funding to give his first love, mountain biking, a go professionally. This time last month Andreas was crowned Mountain Bike World Champion, he explained how.

As COP26 comes to a close, we investigate the global environmental and economic challenge facing humanity. In this podcast, Luke Cooper talks to economist Laurie Macfarlane, a columnist at Open Democracy and a fellow at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose, to get a digest on COP26 and discuss the relationship between social justice, global development and the green transition. It's a wide-ranging chat, taking in how we conceptualise the idea of development in the 21st century, the seeming paradox that societies most at risk from climate change, such a Australia, have often been the most trenchantly committed to fossil fuels, and the emergence of a new paradigm of capitalist extractivism with the dash for raw materials required to harness renewable energy.

As COP26 comes to a close we're all thinking about our next steps and how we can take learnings from the past two weeks into the future to slow the rising global temperatures and stick to the target of 1.5C.The industrial meat industry is the single biggest cause of deforestation globally. As of 2021, due to land clearing forest fires, the Amazon rainforest now emits more carbon emissions than it is able to absorb. One cow can release enough gas to produce an astounding 200 kilograms of methane every year, which means that emissions from cows and fertilizer use emit as much greenhouse gas as the world's entire fleet of cars, trucks, and aeroplanes.But the good news is - this is definitely a problem the advertising industry can help address as we think about reshaping demand and changing culture. This week, Amy and Dino are joined by Emma Cookson to chew over the impact of meat-based diets on the climate crisis and how going meatless could help save the planet. Emma is a straight-talking brilliant brand strategist who rose through the ranks of Adland from global head of strategic planning to CEO, and then chairman of BBH New York. Emma is hands down one of the most influential people in advertising and today, she's a partner at the Brandtech group, You & Mr Jones investing in and collaborating with the most innovative companies in our industry. So if anyone can figure out the answer to this brief - it's Emma. Do you think you could take on a meat-free diet for the sake of the planet?

As COP26 draws to a close this week, I'm reflecting today on what this means for you as communicators. Clearly, there is a big stick as well as carrot coming down the line and planning for supporting reputation issues around greenwashing, having difficult conversations with people and working out who's culpable for information shared should be high on the list for all businesses, large or small in the wake of COP26. Today I share some insights into what I think companies need to think about and what communicators need to think about. I cover 3 big questions in this podcast episode and share some further thoughts, next steps you can adopt, and things to look out for.  Let's dive in!

As COP26 continues in Glasgow, EG's Sarah Jackman takes a look at how the dilapidations process can be made greener. Joining her to discuss the topic are Jon Rowling, technical partner and dilapidations specialist at TFT, Siobhan Cross, real estate dispute resolution partner at Pinsent Masons, and Allan Clark, head of sustainability and facilities compliance at Pinsent Masons. Rowling discusses why green dilapidations are receiving increased interest and highlights measures that could be adopted to make the process less wasteful, while Cross discusses how a more sustainable approach – such as retaining an existing fit out – could work from a legal perspective. Clark provides the occupier perspective and reflects on achieving the right balance between acting sustainably, while at the same time safeguarding business interests.

The NHL, the professional ice hockey league in North America, has been rocked by allegations of sexual abuse and failure to investigate them when they were first made. It revolves around a law suit a former Chicago Blackhawks player has brought against the team after he allege he was abused by one of the coaches. That player, Kyle Beach, spoke out publicly this week in an emotional interview with TSN journalist Rick Westhead. We hear part of that interview and from Rick on exposing sexual abuse in the NHL and the cover up. As COP26 continues in Glasgow we look at what role sport can play in protecting the planet.

As COP26 moves through Day 3 we hear from Professor Mark Maslin, author and Professor of Earth System Science at UCL and environmental campaigner, Citizens' Assembly megafan and drag comedy artist Alex Bradbury about the politics of this particular COP. How, by talking about the issue - in the workplace, to friends and family, to our politicians - can we ensure that our collective wisdom base is not ignored? The climate doesn't care what political badge we wear but nor does it have a voice. When citizens raise theirs on its behalf are they being heard?

We are in a climate crisis. About this there seems to be broad consensus. But, there is more and more divergence around what must be done to stop it. As COP26 came around, we've seen more and more supposed solutions to the Climate crisis gaining attention.  But a closer look reveals that many of the ideas proffered as ways out of the climate emergency are merely duds, fancy ways to give the impression of progress while business continues as usual.  Just as we cannot expect mosquitoes to cure malaria, we cannot expect the people that created the crisis to be the ones to solve it.  At TNI, we have been tackling the problem from multiple perspectives, drawing from decades of research and analysis, and leaning on the knowledge and experiences of movements across the world. We believe that the ideas that come from the ground up, from indigenous communities, from peasant farmers, fisher peoples, and workers across the world have the capacity to bring about a totally different way of being, a different humanity, with a different relationship to each other, and to the planet.  In today's episode, we speak with colleagues and associates, to draw out what we think are the approaches that will pull us back from the edge of the cliff. From radical cutting edge analysis that exposes the problems with the global neoliberal system, to new ideas about how to think about public services, to alternative approaches to food policy, trade and energy.  These are ideas that we believe can literally save the planet.

We know climate change is the big existential challenge of our time and must be matched by the scale of our global response. Some have expressed scepticism about the potential for COP26 to bring about meaningful change, but with public appetite for climate action reaching new heights, is now the time when people power and formal politics could converge?  It can't all be left up to the people in charge – but without good leadership, we won't achieve the whole-system change we need. What would bold thinking, radical action, and meaningful momentum-building look like at this critical juncture in climate politics? As COP26 approaches, former Labour Party leader and ex-Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband reflects on the research in his new book, Go Big, and explores what it would take for this moment to become a catalyst for real change.  Look out for more events on this theme coming up in our Regenerative Futures programme this autumn. https://www.thersa.org/regenerative-futures Become an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9x #RSAGoBig Donate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNB Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEvents Like RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficial Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYU See RSA Events behind the scenes: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/

This week London's Ultra Low Emission Zone was extended to 18 times its previous size. In an effort to cut levels of various nitrogen oxides and other gases dangerous to humans from urban air, cities encouraging lower emission vehicles is a trend soon stretching across the UK and other European countries. But some are sceptical as to their efficacy. Dr Gary Fuller of Imperial College London is author of The Invisible Killer, and has been studying the air in London and elsewhere since these zones began. As COP26 begins in Glasgow, a wealth of climate science is being published and publicised. Victoria Gill describes a couple of stories this week that point out quite how complex the science is, let alone the diplomacy and economics. Whilst the world's forests taken as a whole undoubtedly still capture more CO2 than they release, research this week shows that ten of Unesco's World Heritage Forests - making up for an area twice the size of Germany - have in the last ten years actually moved from being a carbon sink to a carbon source. There are several reasons, land use pressure being one of them, but also extreme climate events like wildfires (and even a hurricane in one instance) have tipped the balance, and show what how sharp the knife edge is for natural resilience. Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports that scientists have found an unexpected outflow of methane into the atmosphere from a site very close to the COP26 conference centre in Glasgow, highlighting just how great a challenge net zero will be. Alongside some of humans' most earth-changing achievements, the domestication of the horse stands as something outstanding in human history. Without it, war, traded and culture would be unrecognizable. But quite when and where the modern horse originated has been something of a mystery. In Nature this week, researchers have published an extensive study into ancient DNA that seems to pinpoint finally a moment and a place where this happened, 4,200 years ago. Geoff Marsh takes Marnie for a canter through the mystery. Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producer: Alex Mansfield Made in association with The Open University

ESG Series #7:  Are climate goals and economic development on a collision course?  As COP26 gets underway in Glasgow, the energy transition is top of mind.  Shifting energy production away from coal, oil and natural gas toward greener energy sources like wind and solar power and renewable fuels is critical to cutting the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.  In the Asia-Pacific region, there is no clear consensus on the shape of the energy transition.  And there is no path to meaningful reductions in global greenhouse gas emissions that does not lead through Asia, which accounts for 60% of the world's population and 75% of global carbon emissions.  Climate, capital and energy are truly global in reach.  The choices being made today – in allocating capital and in shaping energy and industrial policies – could either reduce or increase the most severe climate impacts around the world for at least the next century.  It is a huge challenge to make development both rapid and sustainable.  Asia is experiencing substantial population growth and massive economic development. Energy use per capita is rising fast along with the rise in GDP and the buildout of cities, industries and the critical infrastructure that sustains them.  The opportunities to invest in new energy assets – whether sustainable or not – are plentiful.  Innovative technologies like battery storage and green hydrogen are exciting for the future, but Asia is scaling up its energy sector now.  What does that urgency mean for the current investment climate and for the future of the Earth's climate?In this episode, host Allan Marks sits down with Milbank partners James Murray and James Orme in Singapore and former Milbank partner Cathy Marsh, now at the Asian Development Bank in Manila, to look at the energy transition in Asia and the Pacific.   About the Speakers James Murray is a partner in the Singapore office of Milbank and a member of the firm's Project, Energy and Infrastructure Finance Group.
