30 years of thematic investing

Active Equity 2 min read
At Pictet Asset Management, we believe there is a different way to invest in equities –one that ignores the constraints of benchmarks and instead looks to capitalise on the structural forces shaping our world. Those forces are known as megatrends.

Since the 1990s, we have been developing thematic equity strategies aiming to identify the winning companies of tomorrow, in some of the world’s most dynamic industries.

Our thematic strategies are built on megatrends—structural forces of change that evolve independently of the economic cycle—and aim to convert these long-term trends into investment opportunities. Over the past 30 years, we have identified 14 key themes, such as robotics, clean energy, and water, which are represented in our 16 thematic strategies.

Today, our thematic investment team includes over 70 dedicated investment professionals and manages a range of strategies addressing long-term societal, environmental, and technological transformations.
