Thematic investing isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about aligning portfolios with where capital is going next.
Hear AB’s Lei Qiu, Head of Thematic Equities, lead a forward-looking discussion on how thematic investing can help advisors align portfolios with future growth engines—across the US and globally—using a disciplined, risk-aware approach.
Watch the replay of our recent webcast where you'll learn:
- Why thematic investing is about anticipating future capital flows, not chasing yesterday’s winners, and why that matters in both US and international allocations
- How a forward‑looking, hedge‑fund‑influenced investment process seeks to capture innovation upside while maintaining a constant focus on capital preservation
- How to rethink thematic exposure beyond Mag 7‑heavy ETFs and position AB’s thematic offerings as a more intentional replacement within thematic allocations
