Whether it is the rapid expansion of disruptive technologies or shifts in strategic relationships, change provides a wealth of investment opportunities.


And if there is one thing that defines what’s happening right now, it’s change.


The mantra of the Capital Group New Perspective strategy is to benefit from changes in global trade patterns. Often this is misinterpreted as increasing global trade. But the focus is on the change.


As the world undergoes a rewiring – whether it’s reshoring or nearshoring, or a shift from physical trade to digital trade – the New Perspective strategy is focused on who will be the likely winners, while seeking to avoid the losers.
