CFA Society of Columbus January 24, 2023 Luncheon 

Please join CFA Columbus in welcoming Mr. Matt Cole, Head of Investments at Strive Asset Management as our guest speaker.

"A Nation Divided Over ESG – The Push for Value Over Values Based Investing"

Matt will share insights on the following topics:

• Why corporate governance should be a key component of asset manager and fund selection
• Why Strive views ESG investing without consent as a fiduciary breach
• Why Green Smuggling – not Green Washing – should be the bigger focus when discussing ESG criticism
• The backlash to ESG investing and an in-depth discussion on the common criticisms of the ESG movement

Matt Cole is the Head of Strive Asset Management's Investment Office & Global Fixed Income. Matt is the Portfolio Manager for Strive's existing passive equity ETFs and will be the lead portfolio manager of Strive's upcoming actively managed ETF portfolios. Prior to joining Strive, Matt was a Portfolio Manager at CalPERS, where he oversaw over $70 billion in actively managed and beta replicating Fixed Income portfolios. During his 16 years at CalPERS, the actively managed portfolios Matt directed were among the best performing in the investment industry and did not underperform their benchmark in any single year.
