Opinion: Global transition is underway, and it is multi-faceted

Investable theme: energy transition, clean energy, technology, cryptoassets

We have seen structural breaks in the way the world works many times before, but the new millennium has brought with it a perfect storm. The world is going through transition, and it is multi-faceted. Three transitions will dominate the next decade:

1. The energy transition

2. The money transition

3. The technological revolution

As important as positioning yourself for the transitions themselves is continually recognising that we are indeed in a multi-decade, multi-faceted global transition. Things are not as they were, nor what they will be. Traditional models of economics, investment, and capitalism will need to be re-written, to make sense of the new world.

What about the social transition? There isn’t one. Social change is one of the three reckonings. A transition is like the construction of a building; a reckoning is like a glacier biding its time until sudden and catastrophic collapse on those who built their houses in the valley.

Huge opportunities – investment and otherwise – will arise as the transitions play out. Each one has its own opinion article, linked above. We’d love to hear your views.
