While it took 25 years for the car to replace the horse and carriage, and 4 years for Facebook to reach 100 million Americans, it took less than 2 years for Disney+ to reach 100 million subscribers.
Innovation is happening faster than ever and as an investor, you don’t want to miss out.
Focus on one company you think will take off, and it might fizzle out. Seek to reduce risk through diversification with broad market indexes, and you might water down your convictions.
But there’s another way… RBC iShares has identified 5 long-term forces, or MEGATRENDs expected to transform the way we live and work.
RBC iShares Megatrend ETFs give you access to a basket of stocks poised to take advantage of these forces across sectors, industries, and countries.
So, what are these 5 Megatrends?
- Technological Breakthrough, focused on innovative technologies – think 5G, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity
- Demographics & Social Change, looking at medical breakthroughs in vaccines, genomics and immunology brought on by longer lifespans and modern lifestyles
- Climate Change & Resource Scarcity, focused on clean energy, electric vehicles, and sustainability
- Rapid Urbanization, focused on infrastructure projects across the globe
and
- Emerging Global Wealth, targeting the growing middle-class of consumers globally
RBC iShares has designed many of its Megatrend ETFs to capture a theme’s entire value chain.
For example, with megatrend strategies, you don’t just invest in the self-driving electric vehicle companies themselves, but also the companies that build road-monitoring sensors, the companies that provide the software “brains” and more.
Our world is changing – rapidly - and our capacity for innovation is boundless. From cybersecurity and artificial intelligence to mRNA vaccines and clean energy, whatever the future may bring, RBC iShares’ Megatrend strategies can help you capture the innovative themes reinventing our world.
