With the American economy entering a recession, Japan's economy still struggling, the Chinese economy fighting inflation, and with Wall Street, the flagship of capitalism, being rescued by foreign state-backed investors (sovereign-wealth funds), where does one invest? Is Northeast Asia still a bullish bet? To get some insights, come hear British-born, Cambridge-educated, San Francisco-based Paul Matthews, who has actively invested in Asian markets since 1982 when he moved to Hong Kong to work for the GT Group to manage their Pacific Growth Fund, one of the most successful Asian-oriented mutual funds in the U.S. In 1989 he left GT Group to establish Matthews International Capital Management. The rest is history-successful investment history.
Patrick Lloyd Hatcher, Ph.D., Kiriyama Senior Distinguished Fellow at the USF Center for the Pacific Rim, will conduct the interview.
