Thematic Opportunities
Investing in pure-play growth themes
Why invest in Thematic Opportunities?
Our Thematic Equity strategies: Security and Safety, Robotics and Automation, Digital Health, Edutainment and Education Technology, Environmental Impact, and Infrastructure, are built around the belief that long-term structural forces of change are creating the potential for returns that other investment approaches might overlook. These strategies focus on the large universe of exciting pure-play small- and mid-cap companies offering products and services that are disrupting markets and challenging legacy incumbents.
We seek to capitalize on their innovative solutions while reducing beta by creating a single fund that makes direct investments in stocks from across our all our Thematic Equity strategies.

Risks
- Equity markets can be volatile, especially in the short term.
- Investors may lose part or all of the invested amount.
- A focus on specific themes can lead to significant sector, country, and regional exposures.
- A slowdown in the world economy could impact the growth outlook for our themes.
- Exposure to small and mid caps can result in higher short-term volatility and may also carry greater liquidity risk.
- The funds may be affected by greater political and economic risks due to their exposure to emerging markets.
- In cases of significant inflows or outflows, there may be a disparity in the value date between stocks from different countries, which can result in unintended short-term currency exposures.
