Amplify the growth potential
Thematics is about benefitting from long-term structural growth in Megatrends. A multi-thematic strategy can help investors harness this growth through the selection of themes.

Thematic strategies are redefining the investment landscape, offering investors exposure to companies set to drive the structural growth and shifts shaping our future – from the energy transition to fight climate change to the AI revolution fuelled by ChatGPT.
But how can investors access these structural shifts and their growth potential? When considering thematic investments, investors can choose between:

Since 2018, WisdomTree has been at the forefront of developing single thematic ETFs, continually refining our approach based on deep research and expert insights.
We now have amalgamated our vast thematic expertise and insights to introduce an ETF that provides diversified, yet targeted access to multiple megatrends and themes: the WisdomTree Megatrends UCITS ETF and the WisdomTree Tech Megatrends UCITS ETF
Multi-thematic strategies can offer investors a one-stop solution to participate in long-term equity growth across different megatrends as they develop.

Thematics is about benefitting from long-term structural growth in Megatrends. A multi-thematic strategy can help investors harness this growth through the selection of themes.

Hand over the reins of theme selection to thematic experts who ensure strong diversification.

Themes evolve due to various influences. An agile, tactical allocation between themes over time, can potentially enhance a multi-thematic strategy’s return.

Multi-thematic strategies, like single-theme strategies should thrive to invest in pure-play companies, meaning those with more direct exposure rather than tangential exposure to the theme.

Focus on the rising stars of tomorrow, not the giants of yesteryears. Focusing on up and coming companies, such strategy can increase its growth potential and create differentiation with market indices.

Tilt to pure-play investment opportunities cannot be achieved without leveraging subject matter expertise across the domains captured in the strategy, which should be central to stock selection in multi-thematics.

This blog explores the wave of European defence initial public offerings (IPOs) reshaping the sector's investment landscape, from Hensoldt's 2020 listing through to RENK, CSG and Vincorion, and the upcoming listings of KNDS and WB Electronics. It examines why 2026 marks a watershed year for European defence equity, how investor scrutiny is maturing, and what the broadening of the investable universe means for those with exposure to the structural rearmament theme.

European defence equities have de-rated on sentiment, not fundamentals. Q1 2026 earnings were robust with most European defence primes confirming guidance, with book-to-bill ratios averaging 1.49x. Yet the sector trades at a 41% P/E discount to US peers, offering a materially improved entry point into the European rearmament cycle.
