Our philosophy

At Thematics AM, we use a thematic lens to look at the world in our quest to generate sustainable risk-adjusted excess returns over the long-term.

Four major pillars define our philosophy.

Secular growth

Our strengths lie in our ability to identify and develop investment themes derived from four ‘Primary Forces’: Demographics, Technological advances, (De) Globalization and Resource Scarcity are the root causes of “tectonic” shifts shaping tomorrow’s world, affecting companies and the flow of money.

Focused

We focus on few segments of the global equity market enjoying long-term secular growth underpinned by structural and long-lasting forces. Our thematic investable universes are well-defined and reasonably sized. Our concentrated yet diversified thematic portfolio comprise, based on the research of our portfolio manager/analyst.

Unconstrained

Our fundamental and bottom-up investment approach is un-benchmarked, as we think a forward-looking portfolio is best suited to identify future winners whereas indexes favour winners of the past. Our portfolio consequently has a low overlap and a high active share compared to global equity indexes, therefore adding diversification to an existing global equity exposure.

Responsible

The non-financial criteria we consider when making our investment decisions, particularly in relation to socially responsible management, are crucial in de-risking the portfolio and delivering excess returns. Our ESG approach is core to each step of our process.

Discover our Values

Thematic investing is intended to achieve a targeted and precise exposure to the entire value chain of an enduring theme with growth prospects. Investing today in tomorrow’s winners cannot be done without opting for an active rather than passive approach to investing.

Client Centricity

With an alignment of interests allied to an openness to client dialogue, we place equal value on all clients and believe that integrity and transparency will lead to long term results.

Entrepreneurship

Having been established as an entrepreneurial venture by the founders, it is important that all employees find support for the development for new ideas.

Innovation

We believe that innovation goes hand-in-glove with entrepreneurship, and feel that innovative ideas, where appropriate, should be developed.

Excellence

We believe that by extending our sector-specific expertise into other areas of our business, and by maintaining high standards in all our activities, that we can foster an environment of excellence.
