    Profiting from multi-decade mega trends: A thematic ETF deep dive with Global X's Scott Helfstein

    Profiting from multi-decade mega trends: A thematic ETF deep dive with Global X's Scott Helfstein

    The recent AI boom has reignited enthusiasm for thematic ETFs and that's why I was so grateful to have Scott Helftstein the head of investment strategy at Global X, join me on his Australian tour for a deep dive on thematic ETFs. Scott has a wealth of knowledge in the space through his role at Global X and previously being the head of thematic portfolios at Morgan Stanley. 
    In this conversation we cover:

    Scott's upbringing in Long Island and his introduction to business through his father

    We explore how he developed a career in thematic investing 

    How his team identify a theme that could be an enduring mega trend

    Walk through the life cycle of the trend

    Discuss how a thematic etf can adapt to include emerging companies in the future 

    Discuss why he thinks AI and uranium are two multi-decade themes still in their infancy 

    We also address the often mentioned performance of thematic ETFs vs passive traditional indices

    Before recording this interview I reached out to the Rask Community on our community page to ask them what questions they would ask. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share after listening come and join us over at the Rask Community, it's free to join.

Boomer’s Okay ,

Brilliant

I’m so glad I stumbled onto your podcast. I’ve been an avid listener now for about six months and will shortly take the plunge with RASK Invest. Keep up the mix of humour, anecdotes and sound investment advice. If only more Australian businesses were as proactive in establishing credibility and trust the way you and your team have set out to do.
