Thematic investing involves targeting specific investment themes or trends that are relevant in the short- to medium-term.
By nature, this means having some focus on specific sectors or trends that may be hot now but could cool off later. Thematic investments shouldn't form the bulk of your portfolio.
While thematic investing offers the potential for above-market returns by capitalising on specific trends, it's crucial to view it within the context of a long-term, diversified investment portfolio.
Consider incorporating core strategies like income investing, which focuses on generating regular payouts through dividend stocks and bonds, to add a more stable component within your overall portfolio.
These funds offer a way to gain exposure to investment themes that could see strong returns in that are expected to outperform but do note that they may not be suitable to for all investors and requires a higher risk tolerance.
Focuses on investing in companies that are positioned to benefit from innovation, leverage new technologies, or provide products and services that meet the needs of a changing global economy.
