Technology and responsible investing will \u201cinevitably be the top two megatrends\u201d of the 2020s, affirms the CEO of one of the world\u2019s largest independent financial advisory organizations.<\/p>\n

The bold, unambiguous message from deVere Group\u2019s chief executive and founder, Nigel Green, comes global stocks rise as the world looks ahead to the post-pandemic era and gradual economic recovery.<\/p>\n

Mr Green comments: \u201cThe Covid-19 crisis has accelerated innovation and disruption and has heightened expectations.\u00a0 The future has happened faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that there are two underlying forces that will inevitably be the major investment megatrends of this decade, likely to be worth tens of trillions of dollars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first is technology. The digital revolution is taking place right now in a monumental way, with our daily lives become ever more digitalized at a staggering speed.<\/p>

\u201cThe rapid advancement of digital technologies is already fundamentally changing business models, institutions and society as a whole – and this trend is likely to pick up pace further as tech evolves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe digital revolution means the potential for new and emerging businesses and industries is greater than ever before \u2013 and both retail and institutional investors will, naturally, be drawn to the massive growth and opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, we can see the future economy already in global stock markets which are being driven up primarily by tech-based firms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop of advancing technologies impacting all areas of our lives, including personal finance, last week deVere Group announced it is to develop a major digital finance operation from its headquarters in Dubai, UAE.<\/p>\n

The deVere CEO says the second megatrend will be environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese unusual times have fostered a growing collective awareness and sense of mutual responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been brought into sharp focus that today\u2019s Covid-19 crisis could be overshadowed by tomorrow\u2019s climate crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has demonstrated the importance of having sustainable and diverse supply chains. It has also underscored that companies with strong corporate governance and good business practice are best-positioned for the future.
\n\u201cThis has been evidenced by those investments with robust ESG credentials continuing to outperform throughout the recent bouts of stock market volatility.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, the major growth and opportunities that that pattern of change creates cannot be, and will not be, ignored by retail and institutional investors.<\/p>\n

Mr Green concludes: \u201cIt\u2019s often said when investing that a \u2018trend is a friend.\u2019 A megatrend is likely, therefore, to be your best friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cMegatrends \u2013 like the advancing technology and the search for purposeful profits – affect how we live and work every day, therefore they impact global markets and investor outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
