“Now more than ever, megatrends are shaping the investment landscape, not only in the distant future but also here and now.
Megatrends allow us to look beyond daily uncertainties in the economic cycle, and towards durable themes with investment potential. As investors, we believe we are better able to serve our clients and partners when we pair rigorous asset class analysis and investment excellence with outside-the-box thinking. The trends shaping our future are the very factors that drive investment success today.”

“The rise of generative AI requires a robust approach to AI governance.
This includes ensuring AI applications are tested for reliability, accuracy, and robustness; comply with privacy, data security, and transparency principles; and manifest positive impact against social and environmental aspects, i.e., exhibit fairness, equity, and inclusion. At New York Life, we view ongoing human engagement and oversight, cross-functional partnership, and accountability as anchors to the responsible AI use that is consistent with the company’s mission and values.”
Rodanthy Tzani, Head of Model Risk Management, New York Life
“Never before has the global electricity sector faced such a monumental shift in the demand outlook. Electricity demand in the U.S. has been flat for the past 20 years, and the broader electric complex has been seen as a low growth, income-driven investment. Today, the “electrification of things,” including power-hungry AI chips and huge growth in data centers, is driving a once in a generation growth opportunity for electricity providers and across industries. We also see structural shifts in energy needs arising as countries connect distant renewable energy sources, modernize the grid, and insulate from extreme weather.”
Tim Humphreys, Head of Global Listed Infrastructure, Ausbil
“AI is likely to be the next global cornerstone industry, playing a prominent role in tackling structural challenges such as labor shortages, resource depletion, and climate change. The current areas of uncertainty in the AI boom, including how companies will monetize AI applications, the future of regulation, and expansion of electric power capacity, all represent investment opportunities. Accordingly, investors should not be shy to adopt a broad view on the potential beneficiaries of the AI race, including indirect beneficiaries.”
Johan Van Der Biest, Deputy Head of Thematic Global Equity, Candriam
