FWD

FWD seeks capital growth by actively investing in companies globally, believed to be at the forefront of innovative growth trends. The fund's adviser considers such companies as market disrupters. Many may utilize technology to enhance or create new demand for their product or service. The selection process combines a top-down evaluation of macroeconomic growth trends with fundamental, bottom-up analysis of individual companies. Factors such as current and projected profitability, pricing power, competitiveness, technological superiority, and management robustness of a company are considered. Targeted themes may include cloud infrastructure & AI, energy transition, transportation & logistics, medical innovation, digital transactions & media, and industrial innovation. The resulting portfolio of 80-120 stocks is considered non-diversified and may heavily focus on industries within the Information Technology sector.
