Addressing structural trends within wealth management portfolios

To generate long-term investment returns and help protect client wealth, it is important to consider structural trends.
By identifying and avoiding the risks that emerge from these structural trends, such as climate change, resource transition, and biodiversity loss, wealth managers can help minimise the impact on client portfolios.
To assist wealth managers in addressing structural trends and emerging risks, we have developed a set of principles. These principles can be considered when setting objectives, constructing portfolios, managing risks, and establishing a governance framework. By following these principles, wealth managers can navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by structural trends.
