Thematic Investing

When it comes to investing, there are many different types and styles of investing to choose from. One of the most common options in this day and age, however, especially among the younger set, is thematic investing. Thematic investing is popular among the younger generation for a variety of reasons; young investors tend to love the following facts especially:

- Thematic investors get to ick exactly what they are investing in
- Most thematic investment options come with a variety of useful interactive tools for more control over the investment process
A variety of investment strategies can be put to use, including newer methods



It’s easy to see why people, especially people with a “do it yourself” outlook, love thematic investing. After all, this type of investing offers the best way to choose investments carefully and then to stay in control every step of the way during the investment process. Furthermore, it allows people the chance to choose investment opportunities they are actually interested in, which can make them more likely to actually care about and carefully manage their investments.

If you, personally, are new to thematic investing but are ready to give it a try, keeping a few tips in mind can be helpful.

To start with, it’s smart to invest in something you know and understand. Choose an industry that you’re familiar with, that you’ve researched, or that is relevant to you and/or your career. The more you understand about what you are investing in, the more likely you are to make smart, informed choices that will benefit you in the long run.

And, while you should definitely pick a specific industry/theme for your investments, don’t get TOO concentrated or specific. Make your theme as broad as possible to keep your investments diverse and to benefit as much as possible.


If you can keep these tips in mind and maybe get some help and advice from a financial adviser familiar with thematic investing, you should be just fine!
