Beleggers kiezen steeds vaker voor beleggingen die passen in megatrends die markten en groei stuwen. Alleen die markten volgen, bijvoorbeeld door te beleggen in indices, past niet in deze visie. In plaats daarvan worden thema's geselecteerd, bijvoorbeeld technologie (inclusief AI), zorg of klimaatverandering. Marije Groen praat in deze podcast met Omar Moufti over dit snelgroeiende fenomeen. Moufti leidt de thematische pijler van het iShares Strategy-team van BlackRock in Europa.
