OUR THEMATIC APPROACH
In a world of inter-connected economies and societies, structural trends offer attractive new investment opportunities. Enduring trends such as the ageing population, disruptive technologies, and the expansion of the middle class in emerging nations can generate superior growth for well-placed companies.
At Candriam, we offer the opportunity to invest in these high-impact secular trends.
For two decades, our Thematic Equity Team has developed strategies that capitalize on these paradigm changes. We apply in-depth scientific and industry knowledge to our long experience in managing across the investment cycles to which these industries are subject.
