From oil sands to OPEC: A disciplined approach to energy investing

Andrea Montero, an investment professional and energy sector specialist at Capital Group, joins Mike Gitlin to discuss the complexities of investing in oil and gas. From boots-on-the-ground research in the Canadian oil sands to navigating geopolitical shocks and policy shifts, Andrea shares how she applies a process-driven, principles-based approach to the energy trilemma: balancing security, affordability, and sustainability. She also reflects on why she returned to Capital Group after a summer internship, how her investment approach has changed since transitioning from analyst to portfolio manager and how collaboration across asset classes leads to stronger investment decisions.  #CapGroupGlobal   For full disclosures, go to capitalgroup.com/global-disclosures.    For our latest insights, practice management ideas and more, subscribe to Capital Ideas at getcapitalideas.com.
