Changing consumer trends mean new opportunities for investors

The JPM Global Consumer Trends Fund benefits from enduring developments in global consumption across every stage of our lives. Just think how today’s teenagers spend their money compared to teenagers in the past. The fund identifies these lasting trends across three key drivers of global consumption:

  • Aspiration
  • Demographics & urbanisation
  • Health & wellness

The fund’s unconstrained remit means it is free to invest wherever changing consumer demand is driving profits. This includes companies in thriving emerging markets or in western companies whose sales are benefiting from changes in consumer demand both at home or abroad. The key is to be able to spot the companies that are attuned to these developments and are well-placed to capitalise.
