Investing in the new economy
Overview
In this age of unprecedented innovation and digital disruption, a wealth of opportunities is emerging in the global economy. Notwithstanding, eager investors looking to capitalise on these trends by targeting narrow themes or sectors may be exposed to disappointing outcomes.
