The EquBot AI platform continually analyzes both traditional and alternative investment data around the clock in 13 global languages. The system identified “Thematic Investing” as a key global growth concept for investment management. Rapid economic and geopolitical changes and an increasing rate of industrial evolution has led to an increased demand for specific thematic investment solutions.
Traditional sector classifications are one-dimensional and do not capture the multi-dimensional nature of today’s companies that operate across multiple markets and offer a variety of products. A perfect example is Amazon. Amazon’s traditional sector classification is “Internet Retail”, but that does not capture Amazon’s video streaming and cloud service businesses. Thematic investing recognizes this limitation and the opportunity to look across sectors and regions.
