The End of ESG – or Just the Beginning?

For a long time, ESG was considered the gold standard of sustainable investments – but more and more investors are now asking: Is ESG over? In a world where mere ESG labels are often no longer sufficient, investors are shifting towards more targeted, impact-driven investment strategies. Thematic Investing 2.0 is the next step: Instead of broadly diversified ESG funds, highly specific megatrends are coming into focus.

Thematic Investments Instead of General ESG Concepts

Broad-based ESG funds often include companies that merely meet minimum standards. But investors want more: measurable impact, clear focus areas, and strategic allocation in future-oriented sectors. The following areas are particularly in focus:

Regenerative Agriculture – Sustainable food production and soil health
Renewable Energy & Infrastructure – Investments in the future of energy supply
Smart Cities & AI-Driven Sustainability – Intelligent technologies for modern urban development
Longevity & Biotechnology – Innovations in healthcare and preventative medicine
Space Exploration & High-Tech Sectors – Economic opportunities beyond Earth

Behavioral Challenges in Thematic Investing

Thematic investments require long-term conviction, yet cognitive biases often influence investment decisions. Investors tend to overhype trends or exit too early out of fear. This is where BehaviorQuant comes in, applying a scientific, behavior-based approach to foster rational and data-driven decision-making.
