Way back in 1948, investors in the US were presented with the television fund, which sought to profit from the burgeoning television industry. Then there was The atomic development fund; the science and nuclear fund; nucleonics, chemistry & electronics shares; the missiles-rockets-jets & automation fund; and Steadman Oceanographic & growth fund. More recently, we saw the ARK Funds serve a platter of thematic investments-innovation, genomic revolution, next generation internet, 3D printing, autonomous tech and robotics, and space, exploration and innovation.
In India, we have numerous themes, too: media, energy, infrastructure, consumption, banking, financial services, defence, innovation, exports, services, momentum strategy, and so forth.
Across geographies and asset management companies (AMCs), the compelling narrative is the recurring motif-the story that is woven. To get a share of your wallet, it must first capture your imagination and fuel expectations of outsized returns. Thematic investing appeals to the worst investor instinct: the desire to get rich quickly by discovering something others don't know-a horrid cocktail of avarice and self-confidence. A story is spun. The investor falls for it and bites the bullet. I constantly hark back to what philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre so profoundly said: "Man is always a teller of tales, he lives surrounded by his stories and the stories of others, he sees everything that happens to him through them." Politicians, companies, marketers and AMCs know this.
