Focusing on thematic investing
We use our thematic investments to focus on the trends of tomorrow. They’re not based on particular investment categories: instead, they focus on major structural changes. We identify global ideas relating to how these transformations can be turned into business models that generate as much value and benefit as possible. Our thematic investments enable investors to profit directly from these trends becoming a reality.
