Show Notes

Investors are always looking for an exciting bandwagon, but Morningstar’s global research has tracked thematic portfolios back to the 1950s, and found many don’t survive. So what should you be looking for?

Morningstar’s research manager Justin Walsh shares his thoughts on:

  • Why we’re so bad at picking winners
  • Some of the big hits of the past that fizzled, and some that survived
  • What investors should be looking for when choosing a portfolio, and
  • Why the data tells a story that the marketing campaigns might hide
