BENCHMARK Magazine - June - July 2015

In this issue

In the June-July issue, BENCHMARK talks to the experts on whether BRIC remains relevant for investors today and their strategies for investment in the grouping. In this month’s Editors’ Choice, we pick 5 of the top European large-cap funds, which are now starting to regain investor confidence alongside a resurgent Europe. BENCHMARK also examines the newly created Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, looking at how this new organization could fill a niche in Asia and the challenge of its first project in Nepal. This month, Paula DiPerna tells us how a run in with a mischievous mouse shows how going back to the basics can often be the best way for management to address problems, whilst Robert Mudra gives us the knowhow to get an edge for ESG integration programs. Elsewhere, we take a look at how the likes of Alibaba and Tencent are reshaping China’s banking industry, one particular energy company that provides an interesting investment opportunity in South Korea.
