True thematic experts, they look to exploit long-terms secular opportunities for investors, with the search for new growth drivers cutting across sectors, countries, and geographical boundaries.

Thematics AM focuses on the major themes shaping our world today. Instead of looking at short-term fads or trends, they aim to exploit long-term secular opportunities for investors, with the search for new growth drivers cutting across sectors, countries, and geographical boundaries. Whether it’s the rise of AI and automation, digital and real-world security, resource scarcity or new consumer patterns, Thematics AM is deeply aware of the changes that promise to upend our lives – and investing.
The pure-play approach of Thematics AM 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. Adopting a rigorous ESG lens is also another way they future-proof their portfolios.

Thematics AM offers diversified solutions for forward-looking investors. Unconstrained by global equity indices, their investment style is characterised by a high active share, geographic flexibility, and a preference for smaller companies that have greater future growth potential.

Thematics AM also believes that being active is key to long-term survival and success. Even if the theme is viable, investors need to be able to identify the long-term winners while avoiding the losers, something passive products can’t do. Being active is also key to delivering repeatable and consistent performance. At the core of their approach, Thematics AM remains laser-focussed on fundamental analysis, valuation discipline and stock selection.
