First Abu Dhabi Bank launches multi-themed fund

ABU DHABI – First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) has announced the launch of a multi-themed fund, the “FAB Thematic Rotation Fund” under the OneShare PLC umbrella fund, regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Through the fund, investors will have access to global investment opportunities in the themes and trends generated by long-term structural changes (known as megatrends) that will shape tomorrow’s world: technological innovation, urbanization, environmental change, next-generation economies and populations Shifts, as defined by the Trackinsight topic taxonomy.

FAB Theme Rotation Fund’s investments transcend traditional geographic, industry and style boundaries to capture global growth opportunities across investment themes across asset classes. Dynamic rotation across themes and asset classes over time allows the strategy to adapt to different market conditions. Investors will be able to access multiple investment themes focused on innovation and long-term growth, while seeking maximum diversification.

The portfolio construction process is based on an integrated systematic and disciplined discretionary approach, leveraging the diversification, liquidity and transparency advantages of cross-asset thematic exchange-traded funds (ETFs). By reducing the number of trades, the fund gives our clients access to renowned experts involved in designing and developing underlying index strategies, and benefits from a diversified portfolio of “pure game” companies within each theme.

Dr. Gerardo Amo, MD and Head of Products & Solutions at FAB Switzerland, said: “Based on a completely open architecture framework, we have brought together industry experts to capture the best investment opportunities from undeniable disruptive forces reshaping the world of tomorrow. The FAB Theme Rotation Fund benefits from a robust ETF selection process as well as a dynamic theme allocation model based on in-depth research by an experienced investment team.”

Samira Zakour, Managing Director and Head of Private Banking and KCG at FAB, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for investors to stay ahead of the social, environmental and economic curves and enjoy the trends ahead. The fund provides clients with a cost-effective product that captures attractive investment opportunities in long-term trends and is managed in a diversified, multi-asset class portfolio.”
