Change is the fuel for growth

We believe it is a compelling time to invest in the consumer space because we are in a period of disruption. Technology is changing where we shop, how we shop, how we consume media, how we travel, and as a result: how we spend our discretionary income.

Icon

Research-driven

We select companies through fundamental analysis, valuation, and timeliness.

Icon

Diversified strategy

We construct the strategy by consistently applying diversification practices and strict sell disciplines.

Icon

Multi-theme approach

We aim to benefit from trends in areas such as artificial intelligence, eCommerce and automation.

Why this fund?

The fund invests in companies which are capturing changes in how consumers globally spend either their time or their money. This opportunity set changes over time along with consumer trends, but includes companies across market capitalizations and sectors but especially in the consumer discretionary and communication services sectors.

We currently see opportunities in a number of themes, such as

  1. artificial intelligence (AI): AI content recommendation, content creation and task/productivity assistants will change the way consumers interact and consume.

  2. eCommerce: As digital shopping tools improve and fulfilment capabilities are enhanced through better infrastructure and automation, we see eCommerce continuing to gain significant share with increasing profitability.

  3. automation: We see significant monetization potential from companies that can leverage technology to automate and control physical things, such as robots that perform tasks, or vehicles that provide transportation. 

The strategy managers use a continuous process of identifying companies with high-quality earnings growth and potential for favourable capital appreciation. The investment team employs a three-pillar approach to the investment process:

  1. research-driven security selection applied through fundamental analysis, valuation, and timeliness;

  2. strategy construction determined by consistent diversification practices and strict sell disciplines;

  3. risk management and analysis of external thematic factors integrated at every stage of the strategy process.

Unprecedented technology shifts call for forward thinking and active management that is better equipped to capture tomorrow’s market share winners than backward looking passive strategies.
