Our Megatrends+ Investment Playlist aims to maximise returns through an actively managed portfolio that invests in the transformative forces shaping our future

This Investment Playlist follows a thematic approach, aiming to deliver returns from long-term trends identified by BlackRock, set to transform the global economy, businesses, and societies. These include technological breakthroughs, demographic and social change, rapid urbanisation, climate change and resource scarcity, and emerging global economies.

Key Features:

    • 6/7 risk score
    • Asset allocation from BlackRock
    • Actively managed

Gather are excited to be one of the first to bring these opportunities to investors in the UK
