Looking ahead to the new year, several industries stand out for their disruptive innovation and evolving market dynamics. Here’s a quick snapshot of sectors offering exciting opportunities for investors1:
Artificial intelligence (AI) stands poised to become the cornerstone technology driving the next economic era. Similarly, quantum technology promises to revolutionise machine learning by executing complex computations at speeds unattainable by conventional computers.
The convergence of these cutting-edge innovations with the rise of commercially viable robotics is poised to transform operations across every industry. Investing in some of the companies at the forefront of these developments presents a compelling opportunity for long-term returns.2
The financial sector continues to offer the potential for investment opportunities, as banks adapt to new economic realities.
After years of low interest rates, European banks are now benefiting from a more favourable interest rate environment and ongoing mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which are reshaping the financial landscape. These trends are creating value3 through increased efficiency and market reach.
Healthcare and biotechnology remain at the forefront of global innovation, driven by advances in precision medicine, gene editing and AI.
Predictive analysis of patient health data allows for personalised diagnostics (such as home genetic testing), paving the way for a more cost-effective healthcare system.
The growing needs of an aging population and the sector’s relative resilience4 during volatile economic cycles could make healthcare a key component of a long-term investment portfolio.5
As cities grow and countries prioritise strategic autonomy, particularly within Europe, there is a renewed demand6 for advanced manufacturing and technology.
New infrastructure initiatives, coupled with reconstruction efforts, present significant opportunities7 in construction, engineering, and related services.
The global transition from conventional fossil fuels to cleaner, renewable energy sources is accelerating, despite geopolitical tensions, as governments and corporations channel capital into innovative energy solutions.
These investments could unlock new avenues for economic growth, job creation, and energy security on a worldwide scale.8
Diversifying across these industries using ETFs can help investors stay at the forefront of emerging trends while balancing risk.9
ETFs allow you to invest in an entire sector or theme, reducing the risk of betting on a single company while still potentially capturing the long-term growth of these powerful global trends.10 Here are some examples of popular ETFs invested in some of these sectors:
