Following on from the summaries of seven themes published at the start of September, we have continued exploring the broad topics below.
- Technological breakthroughs: Ongoing advancements in technology, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation, will continue to disrupt industries and drive growth opportunities.
- Demographics and social change: Shifting demographics, including aging populations and changing consumer preferences, will shape investment opportunities in areas like healthcare, wellness, and lifestyle sectors.
- Rapid urbanization: The increasing concentration of populations in urban areas will drive demand for infrastructure development, smart cities, transportation solutions, and real estate investments.
- Climate change and resource scarcity: The urgent need to address climate change and resource scarcity will create investment opportunities in clean energy, sustainable agriculture, water management, and efficient resource utilization.
- Emerging global wealth: Rising middle classes in developing economies will drive demand for consumer goods, financial services, and emerging market investments, providing opportunities for thematic ETFs focused on these regions and sectors.
