Main Article: Reporting From China - A Close-Up View of the Five-Year Plan During the summer, Winslow portfolio manager Elizabeth Levy traveled to China with a group of Brown Advisory colleagues, and visited with investors, economists, professors, real estate developers and manufacturers in Beijing, Nanjing and Shanghai. Although Winslow's strategies focus on the domestic equity markets, understanding China’s role in the global economy and its impacts on global sustainability issues becomes more important every year. In this article Elizabeth describes her efforts to increase Winslow's understanding of this ascendant economic powerhouse.
Marketbeat: Canada - A Decidedly Un-Loonie Investment From its relatively solid financial footing, to its political and cultural support for clean technology, Canada has much to offer as a haven for sustainable businesses. In this article Jack Robinson takes a look at why Canada deserves attention from green investors.
Q&A: Vice Adm. (Ret.) Dennis McGinn, President of the American Council on Renewable Energy In April of this year, the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) named Admiral McGinn as its new President. ACORE is one of the country’s leading membership organizations dedicated to advancing renewable energy in the U.S., through policy, finance and education activities. Winslow has supported ACORE’s efforts for years – Winslow’s founder, Jack Robinson, is a member of its Advisory Board – so we were pleased to have the opportunity to
speak with Admiral McGinn and learn about his unique background and his goals for the organization.
