Our world is shaped by and deep and powerful megatrends. Structural shifts in society that are massive, transformative, global and unstoppable. These megatrends create both opportunities and risks and by anticipating and understanding their impacts, investors can capitalise on their implications.

- Climate change and scarce resources
- Technological advances
- Healthcare innovation
- Changing population demographics
- Rapid urbanisation
- Maturing of emerging markets
More than nine in ten wholesale investors are convinced that these megatrends will play a vital role in fund management strategy over the next three to five years. And they are capitalising on them through investment in major regions and locations, the integration of ESG criteria, and keeping a watchful eye on the technology market bubble.
