Overview

Countries in Asia make up the top echelon of the BI Emerging Markets Scorecard, based on factors such as price performance, breadth and fundamentals. In this episode of Bloomberg Intelligence’s Inside Active podcast, host David Cohne, BI mutual fund and active management analyst, and co-host Marvin Chen, BI senior Asia equity strategist, speak with Sean Taylor, chief investment officer of Matthews Asia and portfolio manager for the Matthews Emerging Markets Equity Active ETF (MEM).
