Investors may also want to incorporate long-term thematic investing funds to benefit from structural trends. Since the investment horizon extends beyond one’s lifetime, the daily ups and downs of financial markets should be less worrisome. Through long-term themes, women investors are also able to align their investments to their values and beliefs which provides them with a sense of purpose through their investments. For example, if an investor is passionate about climate change they can invest in companies focused on renewable energy technologies. Thematic investing also offers the opportunity to tap into macro trends that an investor believes will dominate in the future, like aging societies. Thematic investing offers a compelling narrative which might help women investors find a path into the world of investing. In all of this, it is important to consider themes as part of a broader diversified portfolio allocation.
