Sector and theme funds: from megatrends to investment opportunity

At Pictet Asset Management we believe there is a more rewarding route to securing attractive returns over the long term – one that requires investors to look beyond the short-term shifts in the business climate and focus instead on the structural forces shaping our world. We call these forces megatrends, and they form the core of our 11 distinct thematic investment strategies.
