7 Transforming World themes for 2015This report highlights actionable research on seven investment themes for 2015: financial repression, robotics, cybersecurity, Internet of Things, solar, water and the longevity revolution.
The BofAML case for thematic investing
The annualized price return from global thematic investing in the past three years is 32%, versus a 15% return from global equities over the same period. Theme investing should continue to outperform in the brave, new, post-QE world. Position for lower expected returns from financial markets by concentrating portfolios in assets related to our long-term themes.
