What is disruptive investing?

For many, disruption can be unsettling, but we welcome it. The pace of change is accelerating, with technological advances, innovative business models and changing consumer preferences. Investing using a disruptive lens gives you the chance to gain broad exposure to ground-breaking companies materially shaping our lives and, through this, helps you build a portfolio at the forefront of a fast-changing world.

Exposure to an innovative way to invest

Disruptive companies focus on understanding long-term shifts in company profits as the markets evolve in response to advances in technology, emerging industries and changing consumer preferences.
Capitalizing on global trends

By focusing on long-term shifts, disruptive companies may benefit from opportunities that arise when the markets tend to underestimate the pace of change.
Strategies to match interests and financial goals

Gain the opportunity to invest in companies breaking the mould with next-generation ideas. Investing in disruption may mean investing in companies that are directly driving long-term changes or are potentially affected by those changes.

Why disruptive investing may be a good thing

  1. The world changes fast, and today's successful companies may be gone in the foreseeable future, replaced by firms that don’t yet exist.
  2. Investors in disruption may benefit from the fact that financial markets tend to underestimate how quickly technology can cause a rapid change in "business as usual."
  3. A disruptive fund may focus on long-term trends of companies that are still in the early stages of development, such as cloud computing, autonomous vehicles and mobile payments.

What is considered disruption?

Disruptive companies are companies that have the potential to change or entirely displace existing companies and industries (that may not focus on this theme). These companies can have innovative technologies or operations that are more efficient or make the old way of doing business obsolete, advancing and reshaping the worlds of communications, technology, medicine, automation and finance.
