Historically, investment approaches have been focused on countries, regions, asset classes, sectors, and individual stock characteristics. However, in the last few years there has been a growth in a forward-looking trend with the rise of thematic investing. Thematic Investing aims to capitalize on opportunities created by macroeconomic, geopolitical and technological trends and clients are adding an ESG layer to capture the best of both worlds.
