Innovation

Innovative and disruptive technologies are transforming our lives, societies and economies in a multitude of ways. Some of the effects are already evident, while others will likely surprise us in the future.

Thematic funds and products offer investors the opportunity to participate in industries and sectors that are in the vanguard of these extraordinary changes. Investors can now access funds dedicated to a wide range of specific themes that capture innovation trends.

These themes include biotechnology and advanced healthcare, artificial intelligence and big data, clean energy and sustainability, cloud computing, smart cities, electric vehicles and mobility, media and entertainment, 5G and the internet of things, ecommerce, payments and Fintech, robotics and automation.

Our partners BNY Mellon Investment Management and Capital Group will discuss innovation themes and the opportunities they offer investors.
