Investing in the science of innovation

Multiple long-term growth themes are driving technology demand giving rise to some undeniably attractive opportunities for investors

Technology is a disruptive and deflationary force, making things faster, cheaper, and more efficient. The major challenges faced by the world are all leveraging on innovative new technology for solutions.

The opportunity for investors

Superior growth potential

Acceleration of tech innovation and adoption is typically accompanied by exciting investment opportunities. Technology demand should remain resilient driven by the need for solutions to global challenges. The size of the tech market has grown from US$2tn to US$13tn today*.

Productivity and efficiency enabler

Technology drives productivity and efficiency, powered by innovation to create better products and services. Process automation, autonomous vehicles, and AI-powered software are just some of the many technologies enabling this. Compared to Intel’s first microprocessor built in 1971, a modern CPU runs over 4,000x as fast and each transistor uses about 5,000x less energy. The price per transistor has dropped by a factor of about 50,000*.
