The investment process
The goal is to capture innovations by investing in equities that are associated with multiple investment themes around the three key overarching megatrends.
The Invesco Quantitative Strategies (IQS) team has developed analytical tools through their research in machine learning and Natural Language Processing. These tools enable them to analyse news data with the aim of finding companies that have the highest exposure to and the highest relevance for each investment theme. Or in other words: companies who will profit most from the rising importance of each investment theme.
The investment concerns the acquisition of units in an actively managed fund and not in a given underlying asset.²
1. Spotting themes
2. Identifying companies
3. Creating a multi-theme portfolio
