Quels atouts pour les actions thématiques ?

In this presentation, Jacques‑Aurélien Marcireau outlines the development and rationale behind his firm’s thematic equity offering. He traces the history from the first health‑focused thematic fund launched in 1985 by Edmund Rothschild, through the addition of themes such as technological innovation, data‑driven economies, the Green New Deal (climate transition), and human‑capital‑focused investments. He explains that themes are chosen for their structural, long‑term nature—decades‑spanning trends that create value for both investors and society. During the COVID‑19 crisis, thematic management proved valuable because, while short‑term macro forecasts were uncertain, the underlying decade‑long themes remained clear, providing a steady investment compass. Two primary risks are highlighted: (1) deviating from the core theme (theme drift) and (2) insufficient selectivity, especially as more companies claim “green” or “tech” credentials without genuine substance. Discipline, pragmatic analysis, and deep company understanding are presented as the antidotes. Finally, he recommends aligning theme choice with the investor’s time horizon and convictions: health for frontier‑innovation investors, the Green New Deal for those focused on climate impact, and data/big‑data for a pragmatic approach to broader economic mutations.
