Invest In The Power Of Disruption | Janus Henderson Investors

Overview

The Pace of Change is Greater
Now than Ever Before

Disruption is rippling through the global economy, and the pace of change is accelerating. To take one example, when the human genome was first sequenced in 2000, it took 13 years and cost $3 billion. Now, sequencing can be done in one day for $1,000. Such dramatic change is being felt across industries and geographies, and potentially shaping the long-term performance of investors’ portfolios.

That’s why, at Janus Henderson, we are using fundamental analysis to stay on the right side of disruption. As part of that research, we are focusing on widespread

economies and industries. Together, these drivers could have a dramatic impact on companies – and their stocks – in the years ahead. What does that mean for investors, and how can Janus Henderson provide solutions? Read on.

The Importance of Disruption

Evidence of the pace of disruption

Sequencing the Human Genome

Genetics-based research has accelerated, driven by a dramatic fall in sequencing costs since 2001. This has led to the creation of new and advanced treatment disciplines, such as immuno-oncology, gene therapy and, potentially, personalized vaccines.

Disruption in Context

Why Today us Different

Change and innovation are always present in the global economy but do not necessarily turn out well from an investment perspective. The techdriven revolution of the 1990s and resulting Internet bubble led to sharp falls in equity markets. However, we believe today’s disruption is more enduring:

Leading technology companies are building large networks of data and users that create sizable competitive advantages and strong earnings growth.
New and transformative technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and cloud computing, have become pervasive, impacting business models across industries and regions.
Rising living standards in emerging economies are helping drive demand for these new tools and services. So, too, is the coming of age of “digital natives,” and a growing and aging global population.

Disruption Drivers

Three Major Trends Behind Disruption

We believe three megatrends are helping transform the global economy and lead to new investment opportunities:

Technology Disruption

Technology is penetrating every part of the global economy, led by what we think are a number of powerful and investable trends: cloud computing, mobility, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.

Shifting Demographics

By 2050, the number of people age 60+ is projected to hit roughly 2 billion, up from only 600 million at the start of the century. These and other population shifts are having a dramatic impact on the economy.

Old World vs. New

As China and other “new world” markets modernize their economies, these countries are proving to be leading adopters of new technology. Meanwhile, many “old world” industries must invest heavily in order to stay relevant.
