At First Trust, understanding the power of themes and their long-term potential lies at the heart of our investment philosophy.

For 20 years First Trust has worked with thematic funds, producing our first thematic ETF 14 years ago. This longevity, hard-earned knowledge and experience over other companies has seen investors trust us to manage more than $38bn1 in thematic ETFs alone.

Our thematic research is solely focused on emerging technologies and their wider impact on both society and different industries. We believe this helps us stay ahead of the curve in delivering investment strategies for investors to access the growth potential of innovation and change across a wide range of industries.

For thematic investing to work, investors need to be able to trust that their adviser can identify long-term trends and changes, understand their significance and gauge their potential as a long-term investment opportunity.

With an unparalleled track record in providing a variety of long-term thematic strategies, including Internet and E-commerce, first established in 2006, Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Bio-Technology, and the Power of IPOs & Spin-Offs.
