Philosophy
Philosophy
Candriam’s Thematic Investing team believes:
- Long-term trends create value: Thematic portfolios can increase exposure to a particular theme or trend, allowing investors to increase their allocation to powerful value-creating trends, and to trends which concern them individually
- The right definition: Thematic strategies can offer specific and granular investments to enhance asset allocations with a “core-satellite” approach, going beyond sectors to pursue opportunities across traditional or index sector definitions
- Increased return potential: Adding a concentrated thematic portfolio to a broader portfolio could offer enhanced returns

Candriam believes that climate change is an unprecedented crisis, which also presents a multi-decade investment opportunity to join corporations in their response to environmental challenges. Through their disciplined analytical process which integrates climate change solution providers via a positive, active and forward-looking approach, the team seeks to create a diversified, quality growth portfolio of structural winners with the aim to significantly outperform over an economic cycle.
