We transform companies. Our transformational investing approach seeks to generate strong returns by capitalizing on thematic growth trends and transforming attractive businesses into market leaders.

Thematic investing is our proprietary and systematic approach to identifying the most attractive transformational investment opportunities for our clients. Our approach begins with three overriding investment giga themes that lead to many significant transformative trends and, ultimately, to hundreds of material sector themes that drive change at the company and asset level.

Three giga themes guide our thematic investing

Although three investment giga themes guide our approach, we focus on the cascade of significant transformative trends that fall under these themes. We look beyond the top layer to identify companies operating in less obvious underlying sub-sectors that are also benefiting from transformative trends. This second- and third-order thinking provides us with exposure to growth trends at a much lower risk profile.

We apply our thematic investing approach across all our industry verticals: Goods & Products, Health & Life, Services, Technology, Real Estate, and Infrastructure.

Changing market conditions, as well as transformative and regional trends, can significantly affect the attractiveness of different sectors and industries. We therefore look to optimize returns by dynamically responding to market dislocations.

We conduct regular analysis to identify and further define those sectors, regions, and industry strategies likely to offer higher value relative to other segments at that time. While our relative value approach offers the potential to identify the most attractive returns from a top-down perspective, it requires a comprehensive array of skills and can only be successfully implemented from the bottom-up by a large, globally integrated team with a broad industry network, strong investment flow and experience across economic cycles.

Our key target is to realize the full development potential of the companies and assets in which we invest on behalf of our clients. Active value creation is a core element of this aim.

Operational value creation initiatives vary, but typically focus on achieving certain strategic objectives such as expansion through an organic or acquisition-based growth strategy, improving operational effectiveness through a number of focused operational projects, or through capital management.

All strategic initiatives are guided by our high ESG (environmental, social and governance) standards and aim to create lasting, positive impact for all of our stakeholders.
