AI sovereignty is turning into a physical build-out challenge for Europe. The proposed Cloud and AI Development Act adds policy support, but delivery will depend on infrastructure: powered sites, grid connections and mission-critical electrical equipment. That creates potential opportunities for selected builders and suppliers within Europe’s infrastructure value chain.

The latest rebalance of WisdomTree's Strategic Metals and Rare Earths Miners Index widens its lens from 10 to 14 metal categories, adding vanadium, silicon metal, manganese and niobium. It trims copper and lithium, lifts rare earths and nickel, tilts toward upstream mining and larger names, and now offers above-market growth at a discounted forward earnings multiple.

My daughter giggled at a BlackBerry in a museum, and it crystallised something important about thematic investing. Themes do deliver over time, but value always concentrates in very few companies, and they are rarely the obvious ones upfront. From Kodak to Blockbuster, history keeps repeating itself. The key insight: missing the winner damages long-term returns far more than owning a few losers.

Back in 1973, an oil shock changed the way the world thought about energy. More than fifty years later, geopolitical tensions, rising electricity demand from artificial intelligence (AI) and record renewable energy deployment are once again putting the sector in the spotlight. This blog explores why renewable energy is catching a second wind, how China is driving much of the growth, and why some emerging technologies may finally have found their moment. Investors, it seems, are keen to make hay while the sun is shining.

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.

Space is re-emerging as one of humanity’s most important frontiers. The SpaceX IPO will mark a defining moment for the industry, but the opportunity goes far beyond one company. Falling launch costs, rising government ambition and expanding commercial use cases are turning space into a new technological, economic and strategic frontier. Recognising this potential, WisdomTree has developed a Space strategy that aims to provide diversified exposure to the key verticals and companies shaping the future of the Space Economy.

While ceasefire and peace talks remain uncertain, Ukraine’s eventual reconstruction is already worth considering through the lens of Europe’s infrastructure supply chain. With substantial needs across transport, energy and essential public infrastructure, the rebuild could involve European companies with construction expertise, regional proximity and critical infrastructure products. This blog explores why the opportunity may extend beyond Ukrainian assets, and how companies in the European infrastructure ecosystem could contribute to the long-term reconstruction effort.

The U.S. government is no longer just funding quantum computing – it is investing in it. As Washington deepens its competition with China for technological leadership and Europe ramps up its own quantum ambitions, this emerging field is becoming a strategic battleground. What does that shift mean for investors, and how can they gain exposure to one of the most important themes in next-generation technology?

Physical AI is beginning to move from concept to commercial deployment, with applications increasingly appearing in factories, transport networks and industrial automation systems. China is playing an important role in this trend, supported by its manufacturing ecosystem, hardware supply chain and growing group of robotics companies. This blog looks at three Chinese companies, UBTech, Pony AI and Shenzhen Dobot, which illustrate different paths to physical AI adoption across humanoid robotics, autonomous mobility and smart manufacturing.

Equity returns are a winner-takes-most game. Over the last century, just 3.72% of US stocks created all shareholder wealth. So how can investors improve their odds of owning the next Nvidia early? This blog explains why themes are the map and how a disciplined thematic approach can find future compounders early.

Recent rallies in AMD and Intel have brought CPUs back into the AI infrastructure debate. While GPUs remain the central engine for AI training and inference, the next phase of AI workloads may require much more supporting compute around GPU clusters. Agentic AI involve more planning, routing, tool calls, code execution, verification and data movement, many of which are CPU-intensive tasks. This suggests the AI semiconductor opportunity is broadening beyond GPUs and CPUs could be the next bottleneck of AI Infrastructure.
