Equity mutual funds with a theme component are called themed funds. As they choose businesses and industries linked by a concept, these funds have a wider focus than sectoral funds. Cement, power, steel, and other industries are among the sectors that an infrastructure theme fund will invest in.
Diversification: Thematic investing lets investors spread their money across many sectors and industries that are linked to a certain theme or trend. This may offer more diversification than traditional investing.
Higher Returns: Thematic investing can also give you higher returns than regular investing because companies that are related to a certain theme or trend may grow fastand make more money.
Personal Values: Thematic investing can help investors make sure their investments are in line with their beliefs and values because they can pick themes that are related to their hobbies or help causes they care about.
