The world is opening, but not to calm and stability.

This is one of the topics Livewire's David Thornton tackles with Mary Manning from Alphinity Investment Management. Mary is a Portfolio Manager for the Alphinity Global Fund and Alphinity Global Sustainable Fund. She's been investing in global markets for over 20 years with stints working for Ellerston Capital, Oaktree Capital and Soros Fund Management.
We also go deep on US-China relations and compare the two starkly different markets, as well as Mary's interesting take on the ESG challenges brought about by Artificial Intelligence.
