Allianz Thematica
Megatrends are increasingly shaping our lives. To benefit from this change, investors need to be one step ahead. Immerse yourself in our world of change, innovation and disruption.
Allianz Thematica is a multi-theme portfolio that focuses on a high degree of diversification across themes and individual stocks across the globe. Our experienced investment team identifies the different themes – and companies that have the potential to capitalise on them over a five- to twenty-year timeframe.
JUMP TO FUND INFORMATIONThematic investing - why now?
Megatrends influence our everyday lives more than we realise. They are becoming increasingly investable via topics such as energy of the future, health technology, our increasing love of pets, as well as developments that address the problems of water scarcity and recycling. Economies are unfolding through companies that proactively align themselves with these innovations.
Why Allianz Thematica?
Allianz Thematica is particularly suitable for investors who wish to benefit from future trends and structural changes triggered by social, technological or regulatory factors, and for investors for whom single-sector strategies are too narrow.
#1
Investing in the world ahead
Invest in today's most exciting themes to participate in the most important structural changes of our time. To this end, the fund uses the research expertise of Allianz Global Investors to actively manage the composition of themes and the active selection of theme-specific individual stocks.
#2
Diversified, adaptable and robust
Allianz Thematica invests in more than one theme and is therefore more broadly diversified than funds that focus on a single theme. The themes and their composition are continuously adjusted to reflect new themes or to exclude themes that may have passed their growth phase.
#3
More growth potential through maximum flexibility
Profit from structural change - without restrictions. Theme investments are not limited to certain regions, industries or market capitalisation classes and are based on a differentiation of companies into winners and losers of certain trends.

Investment strategy and fund management
Andreas Fruschki
Head of Thematic Equity,
Senior Portfolio Manager
"The aim of Allianz Thematica is to create an opportunity for our clients to participate very effectively in the new and changing themes on the equity market. Over the past five years, the fund has proven that we can generate attractive performance for our investors by actively selecting and judiciously combining the most promising themes at any given time." 2
To make megatrends investable, we break them down into themes and companies. In this way, we want to ensure that a company can be clearly assigned to a specific theme. In our view, this clear allocation, or purity, is particularly important for a thematic investment. Only if a company's activities are focussed on a theme can it benefit from it to the greatest possible extent. At the same time, the definition of sub-themes enables the broadest possible investment universe, so that from a fund management perspective there are sufficient investment opportunities and the theme is not too narrowly defined. This is how our thematic funds differ from conventional megatrend funds.
