The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

How we approach thematic investing

Keeping pace with change requires deep and broad sector-level knowledge. Our approach to thematic investing is informed by decades of accumulated investment stock-picking expertise – we believe differentiated insights increase the potential to deliver consistent long-term returns.

Structural change

Global challenges combined with societal shifts lead to structural change:

Future lifestyle

People are changing how they live and work, how they stay healthy, and the goods and services they consume.

Innovation

The global challenges and increased appetite to do things differently makes innovation more important than ever.

Sustainability

Climate-related events and demand for resources mean change is being shaped with sustainability firmly in mind.

Investment philosophy

Our investment approach recognises the power of change and we select companies accordingly.

Acceleration

Recognising the rate of change and the companies leading it.

The pace of change is faster than ever. We identify companies that are dynamically positioning themselves to be the winners of tomorrow.

Enablers

Identifying the innovators providing structural solutions.

We seek companies that use and provide innovative techniques and technology. It is their solutions that enable structural change - and provide compelling investment returns.

Differentiation

Distinguishing between the thematic ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’.

Companies driving change form a dynamic part of the market. But there is increased dispersion between the winners and the losers. This makes stock-picking expertise essential.
