Our approach
ESG INTEGRATED APPROACH
The Portfolio Managers have been running sustainable Global Equity portfolios since 2013, screening out the vice sectors which are at risk of regulatory change, and low ESG scoring companies. We look for Leaders in the ESG space within their industries. To help do this, we leverage Sustainalytics, a leading independent information source on ESG criteria. Mirabaud Asset Management also has a dedicated team of Socially Responsible Investing specialists that work jointly with the investment team to strengthen ESG engagement and capture the non-financial risks of the companies selected for the strategy.
MULTI-THEMATIC FOCUS
We’ve been employing thematic investing in this strategy since its inception. We have identified eight global themes, and multiple sub-themes underneath them, which share common attributes – innovation and structural growth drivers as a result long-term sustainable demand from consumers or industries. When we consider a company, it’s always in the context of how it fits within one of our themes, which provide companies with additional growth drivers.
Our core belief is that themes provides companies with important secular tailwinds, which helps them better navigate changing market conditions
The Team Behind the strategy
- At Mirabaud Asset Management, Anu and Paul have been managing global equity portfolios along thematic lines for over six years.
- They have been investing thematically for over seventeen years.
- Anu Narula, Head of Global Equities, is A-rated by Citywire.

Our Equity Themes
Decarbonisation
We have reclassified our “Renewables” theme to “Decarbonisation”. Renewables are a key piece of the puzzle in the transition to carbon neutrality, but alongside this there are other key areas of the transition, which will represent a significant tailwind for those companies exposed to them. As ever, we continue to look for global leaders in these areas.
Millennial Consumers
In the US, the number of people aged 26-41 has exceeded 72 million, surpassing ‘baby boomers’ as the largest cohort of the population. Millennials will account for 75% of the global workforce by 2025 and their combined income will hit $8.3 trillion by 2025
Automation
Automation also has an important role to play in bringing customers previously reliant on e-commerce back into stores. Customers who had a positive experience with in-store automation said they would be willing to shift.
Platform Companies
Platform companies are the fast-growing group of “born digital” enterprises that are reshaping the global economy and transforming how we work and live, from where we stay on holiday to running business operations systems in the cloud.
Health & Wellbeing
The Health and Wellbeing market has had to change during the global pandemic as consumers under lockdowns or partial lockdowns have had to adapt with limited or no access to gyms, fitness studios and other high-touch wellness-related activities.
Real Estate & Infrastructure
What will emerge from this pandemic are more resilient, inclusive and sustainable cities, which could focus on large scale investment in public housing, to help alleviate some of the inequalities seen across urban centres today.
Ageing Population
Covid Impact: The Covid-19 pandemic has created significant challenges for the world’s ageing population.
The Service Economy
The service economy was one of our themes that was hit hardest during Covid, and we now expect this theme to bounce back.
The Explosion of Data
The Explosion of Data remains an important theme for us and growth continues to be driven by the move towards a digital economy and changing preferences in the way individuals access information.

Views and Analysis
A HURRICANE OR A STORM IN A TEACUP? VIEW FROM THE FIXED INCOME DESK.
Friday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) number was unexpectedly strong and caused markets to fall dramatically as inflation (and stagflation) fears moved once again to the front of investors’ minds. In addition, the European Central Bank (ECB) has finally joined the hawkish club, which re-priced European bonds dramatically this week. Subsequent pronouncements of a 25bps hike in July seem to put the ECB behind the curve and Bunds have sold off in response.
Views and Analysis
Mirabaud Equity Theme - PLATFORM COMPANIES
As more digital services are developed and offered, and as the platform’s users become more tied in, this creates a virtuous circle, creating significant opportunities for platform companies to grow. They can transform entire industries and scale vertically and horizontally by improving existing services or entering new service areas. More crucially, in the last couple of years, platform companies have helped reshape the global economy and changed how we collectively work and live.
