Pure-play thematic equity investing

Exposure to megatrends shaping the future

Our approach

We collaborate with experts from industry and academia aiming to identify secular growth trends likely to shape our lives for years to come. By cutting across traditional investment classifications, we strive to select attractively valued companies poised to take advantage of secular growth embedded in these trends.

Our pure-play focus aims to maximize exposure to those trends – or themes – as we invest in disruptors and innovators with at least 50% in revenues attributable to a given theme. This can lead to greater exposure to small- and medium-sized companies, offering clients diversification away from well-known index stocks.
