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.
