Buy Hold Sell: 5 megatrends and the ETFs to play them

 

In a world of inflation and rising rates, it can be easy to focus on the short-term benefits that cyclical companies may enjoy. But megatrends, those powerful, transformative forces that change and disrupt the way our societies and economies operate, are a fantastic way for investors to get exposure to long-term growth. 

 

One such megatrend is decarbonisation, an area of the market that 62% of Livewire readers told us they would be allocating their capital to in 2022. Other megatrends that are rapidly transforming our society include the aging population, the rise of Web 3.0, and the ever-accelerating move towards digitisation and automation.

 

Given the challenge of identifying those companies that will ultimately succeed, thematic ETFs have rapidly emerged as a popular way for investors to access these long-term opportunities.

 

So in this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by two talented financial advisers - Felicity Thomas from Shaw and Partners and Ben Nash from Pivot Wealth - for their thoughts on five exciting themes for the next decade (and the ETFs that investors can use to play them).
