Thematic Investing - Buzzword Or The Real Deal?

If you hear “Thematic Investing” these days it’s usually followed up by other terms like “innovation, disruption, next-gen, etc, etc”.  Is that all Thematic investing is or is there more to the story?  Media talks about it all day, some good talking points some bad; but why?  Does this concept have a place in investment portfolios or is it just a buzzword of this point in time?  I set out to answer just that and give my take on this trend and how I think the everyday person should view Thematic Investing.  In the Thematic Investing Series to follow, I take a deeper dive into certain industries I like and think have potential to grow in the future.  I wanted to go beyond the media headlines in the thematic investing world and learn what’s going on in these industries by actually talking with experts in that field, experts who are living and breathing in that industry every day.  And that’s exactly what I did.   Please visit www.rhitch.com/resources    Ryan Hitchcock Financial Planner High Point Capital Group   Direct: 414-253-4611 [email protected]   Investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal.
