Pictet Asset Management is responsible for the management of five of the funds offered by Pictet Funds: PF(LUX)-Water, PF(LUX)-Premium Brands, PF(LUX)-Security, PF(LUX)-Clean Energy and PF(LUX)-Telecom.

For more information on the management, the performance and the investment portfolios of these funds, please visit the Pictet Funds website.

Unlike traditional equity funds, which are generally restricted to a particular geographical zone, sector and theme funds invest globally in a specific sector or industry.

For each sector we identify "megatrends"
Global sectors are subject to persistent, secular changes in structural factors such as demographics, lifestyle, regulation, environment, etc. We call these long term structural changes "megatrends".

We believe that the basis for successful sector investment lies in identifying those megatrends that have the potential for long-term growth, irrespective of short-term or speculative fluctuation.

Each fund has a dedicated Advisory Board
To identify future megatrends, and hence find the companies with the greatest potential, each Pictet sector fund has its own Advisory Board made up of distinguished businessmen, scientists and scholars who are acknowledged leaders in their fields.

Through regular consultation between fund managers and members of their Advisory Board, day-to-day investment decisions are made in the context of a longer-term sector framework.
