Turbo Impact

In this episode of Turbo Impact, Courtney Wei, Head of Investment at China Life Insurance (Overseas), joins host Kenny Chen to explore how one of Asia’s largest insurers is embedding sustainability into long-term global allocation through a liability-driven investing (LDI) approach.
 
As a global asset allocator, Courtney shares how her team applies LDI principles to deploy insurance capital across geographies and asset classes, embedding sustainability into portfolio construction by design. She offers an LP’s perspective on evaluating GPs’ approach to sustainability integration—what matters most beyond box-ticking—and shares which global opportunity sets most excite her from both return and impact standpoints.
