The number of people aged 60 and over worldwide is expected to double from 1 billion in 2020 to over 2 billion in 2050. The importance of age-related therapies, services, and products is therefore becoming increasingly relevant. From an investment perspective, the current landscape provides a compelling case for allocating capital to the overarching theme of an ageing population.
The world’s populations are now living longer. Furthermore, according to a recent Lancet study, declining birth rates mean that by 2050 the number of births will not be sufficient to sustain population sizes. With increasingly higher proportions of populations entering their 60s and 70s, it is little wonder that our Next Generation analysts believe that the prospects are bright for the Extended Longevity theme (which spans healthcare, elderly care, and beauty, as well as nutritional and financial planning) and the long-term investment prospects of the key players associated with it.
Given this backdrop, and the fact that valuations remain attractive compared to historical averages, we have put an interesting 18-month structured product into subscription. The product offers exposure to four stocks: Alcon (the global leader in eye care – both in terms of sales and its technology platform), Eli Lilly (one of the two leaders for novel diabetes and obesity treatments – segments that are set to grow by 8% and 30% p.a., respectively, by the end of the decade), Swiss Life (the largest life insurance company
in Switzerland, with a leading market share in the individual life and group pensions businesses), and L’Oréal SA (whose strong and diversified brand portfolio makes it the industry leader in terms of margins and organic growth).
Besides an attractive guaranteed coupon of 10.5% (USD), 8.85%(EUR), and 6.8% (CHF) p.a., the downside risk is reduced by the lock-in feature, which can convert the product into a 100% capital-protected product on a monthly basis. The low knock-in barrier of 55%, which is observed continuously, offers an additional layer of downside risk mitigation.
