Description

The recent AI boom has reignited enthusiasm for thematic ETFs and that's why I was so grateful to have Scott Helftstein the head of investment strategy at Global X, join me on his Australian tour for a deep dive on thematic ETFs. Scott has a wealth of knowledge in the space through his role at Global X and previously being the head of thematic portfolios at Morgan Stanley. In this conversation we cover: Scott's upbringing in Long Island and his introduction to business through his father We explore how he developed a career in thematic investing How his team identify a theme that could be an enduring mega trend Walk through the life cycle of the trend Discuss how a thematic etf can adapt to include emerging companies in the future Discuss why he thinks AI and uranium are two multi-decade themes still in their infancy We also address the often mentioned performance of thematic ETFs vs passive traditional indices Before recording this interview I reached out to the Rask Community on our community page to ask them what questions they would ask.
