Five misconceptions of company engagement
The role of an investor in addressing and improving a company’s environmental and social impact through engagement, is being increasingly recognised. However, it remains a young phenomenon for most and therefore many myths around approaches to engagement and a company’s willingness to change exist. In this note, Will Pomroy, Lead Engager of the Hermes SDG Engagement Equity Fund at Hermes Investment Management, puts to bed five misconceptions.

Is online shopping still in its prime?
In a few short years, Black Friday and Cyber Monday have been ingrained in the European retail calendar with outlets publicising their deals days or even weeks in advance. Gone are the days of hordes of consumers queuing outside shopping centres at 4am in a desperate bid to have their first pick of the sales with only a quarter of all Black Friday spending expected to take place in stores1. The queues have instead moved online, swapping the fresh air and elbowing for a comfortable chair, broadband connection and a few clicks of a mouse. With fears of oversaturation, Chi Chan, European Equities Portfolio Manager, asks whether the online market is still in its prime and identifies three companies involved in the online revolution.

India – the last real emerging market
In their latest Gemologist publication, Gary Greenberg, Head of Emerging Markets and Kunjal Gala, Senior Analyst, assess India’s ability to modernise and truly emerge. “The futuristic architecture and glass towers of Shanghai and Seoul defy old stereotypes about emerging markets. But investors heading into Mumbai from the airport, confronted with searing poverty and pollution, could be forgiven for questioning the talk of Asia’s economic miracle taking root in India. We would encourage them to take a broader view: although corruption and inequality remain endemic, there are signs of profound long-term change.”

Will markets stay on board the Trump-train in the long-term?
As the world awaits the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States later today, Geir Lode, Head of Global Equities at Hermes Investment Management, discusses what investors have learnt about Donald Trump’s plans since his surprise election in November. Ahead of the US elections, many investors viewed a Trump victory negatively and markets reacted accordingly, falling sharply in the immediate aftermath of the result. Trump was viewed as a challenge to the world order, a threat to the system that many investors had expected to continue in perpetuity. However it took mere hours for the sentiment to shift as investors began to anticipate a fiscal splurge, with pro-growth policies and a business-first stance viewed as beneficial for the earnings of US companies. The optimism has extended beyond investors, with US consumer sentiment also reacting favourably to the new President-elect.
