(36:20) - What Can Investors Expect Next From Mega Trends?
In this episode of ETF Spotlight, I speak with Jeff Spiegel, U.S. Head of Megatrends and International ETFs at BlackRock, about megatrend investing.
Megatrends are long-term trends transforming the way we live and work. COVID-19 has accelerated some of these trends.
The iShares Genomics Immunology and Healthcare ETF (IDNA - Free Report) holds companies at the forefront of genomics and immunology innovation. Some of its top holdings like Moderna (MRNA - Free Report) , Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN - Free Report) and Gilead Sciences (GILD - Free Report) are working on vaccines or treatments for the coronavirus.
Digitization has accelerated this year in the wake of the pandemic, but digital transformation has increased the risk of security breaches and threats, and the need for cybersecurity solutions. The iShares Cybersecurity And Tech ETF (IHAK - Free Report) invests in companies that offer the most exposure to full value chain of cybersecurity software, hardware and related services.
Robots and AI are improving and becoming an integral part of our lives. We are likely to see greater adoption of robotics and automation in the new normal so as to minimize human contact. The iShares Robotics And Artificial Intelligence Multisector ETF (IRBO - Free Report) tracks an equal-weighted index of global companies across the robotics and AI value chain.
The iShares U.S. Tech Breakthrough Multisector ETF (TECB - Free Report) provides exposure to five themes that are driving future breakthroughs in technology.
Where do thematic ETFs belong in portfolios? What is next for megatrends? Tune into the podcast to learn more.
