Precious metals – and gold in particular – are the perennial go-to sources of protection against inflation and economic downturns. While holding physical gold may help traditionalists sleep better at night, the highest value is found in the mine itself. Gold is one of the most well-known and widely recognised ports in an economic storm, but there are other precious metals that are similarly mined, valued and traded, yet are different enough to provide diversification in a portfolio. Similar to gold, precious metals are recognised as a store of value and have the benefit of being classed as industrial metals. Used in electrical products, batteries, superconductor applications and medical products, these commodities are in high demand. 

Gold & Metal Miners

Cybercrime is on the rise, and any business that operates online needs to be ready to fight off the inevitable hacks and attacks. Enter cybersecurity: the kryptonite of cybercriminals.

Cybersecurity and related defence solutions are a non-negotiable, now and in the future. The need for broad-based, horizontal online security solutions is imminent, and will need to advance and evolve faster than the technology it is designed to protect. Research shows large companies are investing an estimated 10 percent of their annual IT budget to meet the very real challenge of cybercrime. With a CAGR estimated at 10 percent for the coming years, the cybersecurity market is predicted to power up and will be logging $305 billion by 2027.

The biotechnology sector’s alluring all-or-nothing approach has pulses racing and valuations soaring. Far from a geeky enterprise, this fascinating industry is on a mission to save lives and improve global health through clinical research and novel drug development. And it’s owning the financial markets along the way. While other industry sectors may have one or two speculative darlings that may skyrocket, this theme is loaded with stocks that have the potential to double in value if R&D goals are accomplished. Big pharma, and public and private investors, are holding their breath waiting for the next big breakthrough. Relax – we’ve done the thinking for you. Our Biotech Revolution theme hedges against the inevitable risk of investing in biotechs by filtering firms with a market capitalisation of over $1 billion and positive sales growth over the past two years, ensuring they are in good stead to fund the next blockbuster.

BioTech Revolution

GAME OVER. The global gaming sector is holding the top score in the entertainment market, with a projected value of US$287 billion by 2026. That’s more than the global box office revenue (US$42bn), professional sports (US$75bn) and the music industry ($65bn) combined. The global eSports market is forecast to reach US$1.86bn by 2026, with a CAGR of 15.1%. Who’s watching? Everyone, it seems. By 2024 there will be more than 577 million viewers of eSports worldwide. Video game development has come a long way from Pac Man and Space Invaders: the most advanced games to hit screens in the early 80s. The revenue has stepped up too. The one console and occasional title purchase has switched to constant demand and the global community of gamers is expected to top 3 billion by 2023 – that’s a third of the global population.

There are many different definitions of socially responsible investing, and it’s picked up a cool acronym to boot. Enter ESG: Environmental Social & Governance. Simply put, they’re funds that invest based on the environmental, social, governance principles of a company. Expected to hit $53 trillion next year, you can watch your portfolio grow in leaps and bounds – and feel really good about it. ESG-focused funds base their investments on companies that care more the greater good than about turning a profit. They are companies that are committed to having a positive impact both in the communities they operate in, and on a global scale.

There’s so much to like about Switzerland: pristine ski slopes, velvety chocolate, the world’s finest watchmakers and a seemingly unshakeable economy. Switzerland’s economic and political stability has proven a magic formula for global and domestic businesses to flourish. In creating optimal conditions for growth, the Swiss National Bank can be credited for the continued prosperity of the small nation. The increased economic competition among global and domestic companies has spurred the development of new and better products and solutions. However, pure price competitiveness isn’t the driving force of businesses in this mountainous safe-haven. With Switzerland’s reputation for luxury, it’s par for the course that Swiss companies have an inherent penchant for quality and innovation. 

Swiss Small Gems

The size and scale of China’s online market is almost unfathomable, with a user-base of more than a billion people and e-commerce operations far exceeding that of India and the United States. Swissquote’s China Online theme delivers expert exposure to world’s fastest growing economy. China has secured its stature as an emerging superpower. Among ambitious roadmaps and economic strategies, the country can add a robust e-commerce market hub to its CV. In line with China’s economic strategy, it’s only a matter of time before these players explode onto the international stage and snap up significant shares in other geographic regions.

Switzerland occupies less that 0.01% of the world’s land mass, but it has carved out quite a niche in the financial world. With a reputation of exceptional quality, Swiss stocks are lauded for providing stable returns during times of geopolitical and economic uncertainty. Known as a luxurious financial safe haven, Switzerland has a unique profile and is second to none as an investment destination. In times of global turmoil when economies around the world are tanking, Switzerland often benefits as investors move their money to safety. As the world becomes more unpredictable, knowing your retirement portfolio is tucked away in high dividend Swiss stocks is sure to help you sleep better at night.

The Ion Age is dawning and the battery industry has never been hotter than it is today (and batteries have been around since the 1790s). Demands for cleaner energy sources is gathering momentum across the globe and there’s no more denying it: the future is battery-powered. Consider the number of indispensable everyday items that are powered by batteries: smartphones, mobile computing, electric cars…the list goes on. The predicted expansion of solar panel systems, mass adoption of electric vehicles and increased adoption of renewable energy sources will see exponential growth in this industry. The numbers are electrifying.

Europe is shaking off its individualistic image and catching up with the times. With new attitudes and leaderships, commitments to green initiatives and a relaxed macroeconomy policy, the continent has fund managers and switched-on investors paying attention. The European markets have weathered severe storms over the decades, and cyclicals have continued to carry markets across the region. Automakers, banks, travel, leisure, oil and gas have shown robust results based on increased optimism, including the prospect of faster than expected global economic recovery. Staying ahead of the curve is the key to seeing success in cyclicals. Investors adding the best picks of these companies to their portfolios will have the benefit of diversification as well as strong returns while markets remain buoyant.

Food and water are vital to our existence: if ever there was a commodity with a strong supply/demand argument, this is it. Investing in global economic development directly related to elements that sustain the world’s growing population is a portfolio-strengthening move.

Water is abundant on earth, but much of it is saltwater, frozen or located underground. The remaining, drinkable surface water is a finite and precious resource. With the increased incidence of drought and with a quarter of the world’s population heading towards a water crisis, water management is an issue that can’t be ignored. The world’s population is growing and is expected to reach close to 10 billion by 2050. To support the demand for food and water, innovation will be required. Many countries are looking at smart ways of tackling the complex issues involved in meeting the demand for food and the responsible management of water systems.

Food & Water

Total worldwide energy usage is expected to grow by nearly 50% by 2050, driven by demand from emerging economies. That means there is going to be some serious spending on solar, wind, and new green energy technology over the next decades. With global investment in clean energy estimated to total $322 billion per year through 2025, it looks like going green is the way to growth.

Sustainable Energy

Packed stadiums, roaring crowds, adrenaline pumping… and with Swissquote’s Football Fever theme, now it means even more. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or a couch coach, there’s a piece of the US$36bn football market with your name on it. The annual sporting calendar is loaded with football related events: the National Leagues, FIFA World Cup, European Cup, UEFA Nations League dominate screens and stadiums across the globe. 

Related businesses are booming as host nations benefit from multiplier activity and invest in upgrading infrastructure and hospitality-related industries to deal with the influx of football fans. Russia famously scored more than US$5.4bn in revenue after hosting the month-long FIFA World Cup in 2018. Betting, broadcasting, sponsorships, the player marketplace and other events-related earnings are other examples of where revenue is the most valuable player. World Cups, European Championships and National Leagues are a part of our global culture, and they’re here to stay.

Norway is the world’s second largest exporter of fish and seafood, and with the global seafood market expected to reach a valuation of USD194 billion by 2027, now’s the time to cast your net wide. Increasingly, people around the world are becoming more health-conscious and seeking out high-quality natural food. Salmon is one of the best sources of protein and farming it has very little environmental impact. And where is more than half of the world’s supply of salmon produced? Norway. The price of Norwegian salmon has surged concurrently with existent demand bolstered by that of emerging markets such as Brazil and China, that have developed a taste for the protein-rich fish and quite frankly, they want more. Global demand has boomed, despite the premium pricing Norwegian salmon can command.

Scandium, Yttrium, Cerium. Try saying that three times fast. These are three of the 17 soft heavy metals that are essential to life as we know it. Projected to grow to US$9.6 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 12.3%, these heavy metals are well positioned to get you a heavy wallet. While most of us aren’t familiar with the names of rare earth metals, it’s quite likely some of the white lustrous silvery-white heavy metals we’re talking about here are within your reach right now. Rare earth metals are used as components in high technology devices such as smartphones, flat screen televisions, computer monitors, electronic displays. Look a little further and you’ll find them in electric vehicle batteries, and even further afield, missile functions, satellites, wind turbines and jet engines. Just like the devices and products they power, these metals often have no viable substitute. They’re difficult and costly to mine and process, and some are running out, which will push their value even higher. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, neodymium or tungsten is expected to take off and rising prices should follow.

Rare Earth Metals

Investing in global defense makes sense for two important reasons: demand and diversification. With a focus on advanced research and development, surveillance, aerospace and analytical technologies, global defense makes a super-attractive, stable option for investors. Defense stocks are highly valued for a number of reasons and can ride out the bumps in the market without breaking a sweat: they’re an exception to the cyclical pattern of the stock market. Long-term contracts secured years in advance provide insulation for the heavily concentrated industry against rocky market conditions. The big-name players listed in this theme are building solutions to keep ahead of digital shifts, and are heavily invested in the development of smart systems, artificial intelligence, connected devices and other innovative technologies.

Global Defense

The number of global non-cash transactions is forecast to reach the trillions by 2029, cementing these types of transactions as the money of the future. The change has been a long time coming, and Swissquote’s Digital Payments theme is ready to capitalise.

Fiat money has always had disadvantages, from the threat of counterfeiting to manufacturing costs, and a questionable hygiene factor: paper money is a known carrier of pathogens and bacteria. The current payment system is under increasing pressure from the cleaner, easier, more convenient digital currency and non-cash payment systems. It is inevitable that these will win out in the end. ATMs are used less and less as people move to cashless transactions and are expected to be ‘extinct’ by 2037. In mature financial markets, debit cards and other platforms including Apple Pay and PayPal have become the norm, and the younger, tech-savvy generations are embracing this brave new world.

Digital Payments

The Made in China 2025 roadmap is fast-tracking the country’s transformation to a fiercely independent technology-intensive powerhouse. The deliberate shift from quantity to quality manufacturing will see China tap into its astronomically wealthy domestic consumer base, while continuing to benefit from the global sourcing segment. With the ambitious goal of eliminating reliance on imports while climbing the value chain, China’s centrally planned economy and far-reaching financial firepower is tipping the scales in favor of the emerging superpower’s firms and industry. If all goes according to plan, by the time the Made in China 2025 broad-based national investment project reaches its peak, China will have overtaken 56 countries in the world’s per-capita income rankings. 

China's Dragons

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics is one of the fastest growing tech segments, demonstrating limitless potential with consistent mind-blowing developments. Expected to contribute a massive $15 trillion to global GDP by 2030, this theme presents a mind-blowing opportunity for businesses and investors. Demand for robots skyrocketed during the 2020 pandemic and the sector rallied, placing AI and Robotics in good stead to be the disruptor darlings of the decade. Continued development is expected to drive double-digit year-over-year spending. The market opportunities are colossal. The subsets of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning will revolutionise many industries, from IT consulting, software development and gaming, to medical product solutions, transportation and industrial automation. Every part of our lives will eventually be impacted by AI & Robotics. Some sensational changes will occur, seemingly happening overnight. Others will be gradual, yet we’ll wonder how we ever lived without them.

Robotics & AI

5G – the most powerful mobile technology the world has ever seen – is the catalyst for the next technological revolution. As countries competing in the global economy make plans to adapt, there’s a clear opportunity for shrewd investors to get in on the ground floor. Investing in 5G delivers portfolio diversification by default. Estimated to create 22.3 million jobs and more than $13 trillion of global economic output by 2035, there isn’t a market sector this technology won’t be lighting up. Far from just providing faster uploads and downloads (5G is 100x faster than current 4G technology), major players in telecommunications, transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and hospitality are racing to be the first to adapt and benefit. 

5G Revolution

Why?
Globally, people’s thinking and behavior are changing, encouraging a shift from animal-based to non-meat food products. The devastating wildfire in the Amazon rainforest has propelled the conversation on diet from the fringes into the mainstream. Whether from the perspective of environmental impacts, cruelty to animals, health benefits, or helping end world hunger, plant-based or flexitarian diets have become a genuine and accessible solution.
With celebrities like Brad Pitt and Beyoncé publicizing their benefits, it seems everyone is talking about plant-based diets. In China, the government’s newly released dietary guidelines call on the nation’s 1.3 billion people to reduce their meat consumption by 50%. Globally, there are many reasons why people are embracing a healthy, humane, vegetarian diet.
Companies are slowly beginning to provide products to service this rapidly growing trend. Plant-based burger maker Beyond Food has introduced the public to products that will help them seamlessly reduce their traditional meat consumption. Meanwhile, bastions of meat worship like McDonalds, Burger King and KFC have all added plant-based alternatives to their menus. 
With more consumers trying out and converting to a meat-free diet, Big Food has sat up and taken notice. Why wouldn’t they? Not only is the market expected to experience double-digit growth, but vegetarian products also generate higher margins, are easier to handle, and foster significant brand loyalty. The global market for vegetarian food was valued at $12.69 billion in 2018 and is estimated to reach around $24.3 billion by 2026, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in excess of 9.1% over the forecast period. 
Big Food companies currently dominate the segment. A lack of choice has enabled these companies to acquire or build brands that consumers are prepared to accept in spite of the dominance of meat-based brands in the wider portfolio. We think it will not be long before consumers no longer accept food producers who offer veggie burgers alongside chicken fingers: such an approach defeats many of the core motivations that drive people to choose to reduce their meat consumption. Our view is that food companies will in the future choose between plant- or meat-based portfolios. 

What?
This theme will provide investors with direct exposure to the global trend toward vegetarian diets. We have identified companies deriving at least 90% of their revenue from vegetarianism, where a vegetarian is defined as “a person who does not eat meat or fish”. In addition, while a stated corporate sustainability commitment not to “directly contribute to animal suffering, destruction of the natural environment, or climate change” is a plus, we reject companies that speak the language of ESG (environmental, social and governance issues) but are not able to translate growth potential into share price performance. The companies we select must produce a consumable product.
This is an actively managed certificate, so more companies will be added to the portfolio as they develop new offerings.

Takeaways
If you are willing to invest in a sustainable, long-term social and environmental theme that should remain center-stage for decades to come, our Vegetarians theme is definitely an excellent pick.

A renewed interest in clean energy is the driving force behind the massive valuation of hydrogen. Porjected to hit $300 billion by 2027 with a solid CAGR of 9%, it’s an ideal time to invest in what we’re calling the hydrogen revolution. The pros are many: hydrogen is the most common element on earth, and provides energy without producing carbon dioxide. It can be stored and used to produce heat and energy, and delivers power via fuel cells. It burns at a similar temperature to natural gas, and can be transported using existing gas infrastructure.

Hydrogen Economy

As the ink dried on the Brexit deal, 2021 started with a New-Year-New-UK vibe, however macroeconomic conditions have been a little shaky as the nation took its way out of the pandemic. It’s a perfect storm for investors who have been waiting to realise their financial goals with real estate. The Bank of England has done its best to prop up the real estate market during the turmoil. Lowered interest rates and stamp duty holidays were introduced to entice property buyers over the line. Sterling remains a bargain, making the option attractive for savvy foreign investors. Generally speaking, investing in property is an attractive portfolio diversifier. Real estate in the UK has a earned a reputation for being a solid and stable investment, with low volatility. Navigating the post-Brexit waters may have some investors exercising caution as the dust settles, however comfort can be found in the fact that neither a surge or collapse of prices has occurred. Years of uncertainty have weakened demand, with rates of foreign investment declining. A glance at the bigger picture reminds us why real estate is considered a safe-haven: volatility will pass.

Much of the mystery and intrigue that swirled around cryptocurrencies for the last decade has dissipated. What remains is a seriously attractive investment solution offering impressive portfolio optimisation. Acceptance of crypto-assets by policymakers and regulators is on the rise, and financial institutions across the globe have responded. Frameworks and infrastructure to support issuance, trading and custody are becoming commonplace, making cryptocurrencies a more secure investment than ever. This theme is fuss-free, taking care of the technicalities and unknown elements, such as establishing a wallet and securely transferring tokens, that discourage many investors from taking advantage of cryptocurrencies. It’s a direct pathway to financial success, loaded with carefully selected cryptocurrencies and actively managed by Swissquote’s experts.

COVID-19 needs no introduction. The pandemic took the world by storm: countries closed borders overnight, ‘social distancing’ and ‘lockdown’ became part of the lexicon. There are some silver linings to this once-in-a-lifetime (we hope) event. It’s accelerated technology and inspired the New Digital Life investment theme. COVID-19 has changed us, individually and as a global society. Working from home was a non-negotiable. Groceries and medication were ordered online, because they had to be. The e-commerce, contactless solutions, online education and remote office technology sectors had to step up their game and scale to meet soaring demand. The global pandemic has refined and accelerated key megatrends in the digitalization space – trends that will drive the widespread adoption of new digital lifestyles.

Sleek, silent and super-powerful, e-Mobility vehicles are taking over the streets in the most disruptive transformation of the auto industry – ever. E-Mobility options are increasing and the market is on the cusp of mass-adoption with market penetration registering a 40% year-on-year increase. Electric cars and other e-Mobility options serve up a fast-track to the future. With the threat of climate change, people are considering how to drive more responsibly. A rapidly increasing number of drivers are making that choice already with sales figures displaying consistent upward trajectories in the millions. The Swissquote eMobility Certificate gives investors a front-row seat to view some of the world’s most innovative approaches to e-Mobility. As sustainability mandates increase and infrastructure catches up with market enthusiasm, this sector is one to watch.

The COVID-19 pandemic took a huge toll on the financial markets, at its worst sending stock prices into free-fall with a historic 20% drop between February and March of 2020. Coupled with hair-raising volatility, it's been one hell of a bumpy ride. Many stocks performed powerful v-shaped rallies, bouncing back and recovering earnings lost during the pandemic. This sends a clear message: the economy is healing. The industries lagging behind are those that were in the direct line of fire, and the hits just kept on coming. Aviation, hospitality, hotels, integrated oil and their subsets were decimated. As pillars of a working economy in all corners of the globe, these sectors will bounce back, organically or via stimulus support.

Post-Pandemic Recovery

Legalization of cannabis is taking root, and the financial markets are lighting up. Cannabis is already the most widely-used drug globally with more than 188 million consumers – the US black market alone is valued at $70 billion. As legalization increases, it’s set to become an extremely lucrative corner of the market. Now recognized as one of the fastest growing industries with sales estimated to reach US$75 billion by 2030, Cannabis has analysts, manufacturers, investors and researchers sitting up and paying attention. States and countries that have already legalized marijuana are reaping the benefits. Legalization is proven to spark economic activity, increase job creation and boost tax revenue. The potential for further earnings across the supply chain is immense, from early-stage production and distribution, to final consumption.

Over the last decade, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has held steady while the prices of tangible assets, such as property and commodities, surged. Real estate and gold have long been holy grails in times of economic trouble. To this day, these solid inflation hedges continue to be safe havens in protecting against the inevitable decrease in the purchasing power of currencies. There are a few other asset classes that sit outside the typical CPI basket however, that shouldn’t be ignored.

Area 51, moonwalking and missions to Mars have fascinated humans for decades. Along the way, some savvy investors realised that explorations to infinity and beyond rely on technology, telecommunications and infrastructure based right here on Earth. Space exploration is becoming a business, and investing in the companies facilitating the disruption is like rocket-fuel for a portfolio. Space exploration used to be the exclusive domain of specialised government agencies such as NASA, but times are changing. Space exploration is generating spending from innovative private companies and public sectors that’s set to increase in the coming years: China and Russia are teaming up to build a lunar space station and the U.S. extended its military to include a Space Force.

Today, the ‘Swiss-made’ label validates the strong pricing power of companies in the region, and achieves cut-through in highly competitive business environments.

Energy, transport, agriculture, industry and buildings are currently the primary sources of global greenhouse gas emissions. The focus of the Decarbonisation Certificate is on companies that directly enable carbon avoidance through their products and services.

Economies around the world are plugging into renewables, and the critical shift is set to accelerate after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a special report with the most dire warnings on global warming yet received. The good news is, there’s no shortage of solutions. Solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, biomass and biofuel are the most common types of green energy already integrated into grids, systems and households. Swissquote’s new Green Energy theme seeks to capture the high growth potential through companies at the leading edge of a structural shift in global energy production.

Gender equality has been the focus of several studies and research reports in recent years, and the general consensus is that achieving parity will have countless benefits. In addition to laying the foundations for a more peaceful society, gender equality will see development accelerate and the global economy strengthened. Swissquote’s Gender Equality Certificate actively seeks out companies that are leading the way in terms of gender equality, closing the gender pay gap, ensuring a gender balance from the board to the workforce, and following policies related to gender diversity and equal opportunity. Companies with any controversies linked to workforce and opportunity (e.g. wages, promotion, discrimination and harassment) are excluded.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Swissquote’s Global Recycling theme is making this age-old expression a reality, providing investors with direct exposure into waste management with the aim of turning trash into treasure. The global population is growing at a staggering pace – 0.75% per annum – estimated to total 9.5 billion people by 2050. The World Bank has estimated that by this time, waste generation will outpace population growth by more than double. The environmental challenges these statistics give rise to are mind blowing. To preserve the quality of life and the earth’s natural resources, immediate investment is needed in solid, reliable infrastructure and supply chains across the globe to support efficient recycling. From 2.01 billion metric tons in 2016, waste volumes are on track to reach 3.4 billion (+70%) in the coming 30 years. To cope with the increase in trash dumping, the global recycling industry is investing in innovative technologies that will enhance recycling solutions.
