Jonathan Mzengeza. I’m the senior analyst and portfolio manager for all the technology mandates at CIBC Asset Management.
We have been using our firm’s environmental, social and governance frameworks to evaluate some of the stocks that we put into our funds. In technology, we particularly look at social and governance as being the top two, with environmental coming really close to those. In terms of social, we looked at companies that tried to maintain their payroll, were supportive of the employees in a very difficult time. We looked at how they were able to foster a good work environment, being that a lot of people were working in circumstances that they hadn’t even thought were possible.

For a kid fascinated by currency exchanges, this charged backdrop served as a primer on macroeconomics.
