Thematic investments have gained popularity in the past years and are on track to claim their space as the new mainstream form of investment. These investments focus on longer term investment horizons, and specific regional or style factors. Students will research and conduct top-down analysis of their respective funds. They will identify the industries and investment vehicles that enable monetizing the driving factors. Students will learn to perform screenings within the investible universe and generate investment ideas. The course is heavily focused on equity research. Classes are interactive and are based on using Bloomberg to perform analysis. Finally, students present their investment pitch to the investment committee towards the end of the course.
