THE OPPORTUNITY SET
Advances in innovative technologies are transforming society and the global economy. The impact of these disruptive technologies is not limited to the technology sector, but rather felt across industries like financial services, healthcare, industrials, consumer goods and energy. These digital subsections offer a wide range of opportunities for innovation and offer an attractive growth outlook.
More broadly, thematic investing is a fast growing market and helps investors to access a larger investment universe than, say, sector-focused funds or ETFs.
WHY BNP PARIBAS DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY?
BNP Paribas Disruptive Technology targets innovative technologies that disrupt business models across different industries – an exposure that could produce long-term growth and is difficult to replicate using traditional benchmarks.
To do so, the fund combines top-down perspectives of the themes driving global innovation with bottom-up views of individual securities across developed and emerging markets, different industries and the entire market cap spectrum including small- and mid-cap stocks. The portfolio thus incorporates what we believe are the best ideas across the most significant disruptive technology themes globally, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and the internet of things (IoT).
As with all our funds, BNP Paribas Disruptive Technology also incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations and should therefore only invest in sustainable companies. That is, companies with resilient business models that do no harm and positive or improving ESG profiles.
OUR EXPERTISE
Pamela Hegarty is the lead portfolio manager of the fund since 2016. The team features five portfolio managers and one equity research analyst, as well as an investment and portfolio construction specialist.
