Thematics Asset Management focuses on the major themes shaping our world. Instead of looking at short-term trends, they exploit secular opportunities in a bid to uncover new growth drivers cutting across sectors, countries, and geographical boundaries. Whether it’s the rise of AI, resource scarcity or new consumer patterns, Thematics AM is deeply aware of the changes that will upend investing.
The philosophy
Combining the power of five specialist thematic portfolios into a single, diversified, multi-thematic strategy.
AI & Robotics
AI and Robotics are rapidly becoming more prevalent in every aspect of our daily life.
Safety
Safety is the primary human need and a top priority for business and government leaders.
Subscription-Economy
More and more companies are turning to subscriptions to monetize their services.
Water
Water is the only true life-sustaining resource.
Wellness
Individuals are increasingly prioritizing health and wellness in their consumer choices.
Reasons to consider
Their pure play approach focuses on maximising the ability to generate excess returns through different market cycles. This includes thematic alpha, by identifying the best long-term themes and investment universes, as well as generating value through diligent stock picking and analysis. In order to maximise long-term performance, their strategies aren’t limited to certain benchmarks, regions, countries, or company sizes.
The Meta strategy is one of the most diversified thematic portfolios, combining all the companies of the individual themes managed by the franchise: AI & Robotics, Safety, Subscription Economy, Water and Wellness. An unconstrained portfolio of over 200 companies, it has a high active share relative to any major global equity index. It also spans various styles (growth, value, defensive and cyclical).
At Thematics Asset Management, we use a thematic lens to look at the world in our quest to generate sustainable excess returns over the long-term."– Karen Kharmandarian, CIO, Thematics Asset Management

Risks to consider
All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. Investment risk exists with equity, fixed income, and alternative investments. There is no assurance that any investment will meet its performance objectives or that losses will be avoided. There could be other differences across similar products in the same strategy. Investors should fully understand the risks and other relevant details associated with any investment prior to investing.

Experienced investment team, led by thematic investing pioneers.
