Themes identified by
our in-house research team

Sesame Financial Group's proprietary research follows a top-down approach:

  • Identification of strong and precise structural themes likely to deliver the most alpha over the medium to long term
  • In-depth quantitative and qualitative screening and analysis
  • Final selection of 10 to 30 stocks (depending on the universe)

Our in-house research team aims to identify the companies best placed to take advantage of these underlying trends. This forward-looking approach to investment also makes it possible to detect certain companies whose potential has not yet been fully recognised by the market.

Our selections are completely transparent and an in-depth investment rationale is systematically available in our research notes.

The research team issues numerous comprehensive analytical documents - market review, 2-pagers, insight - that our clients can personalize. Accessible and passionate, the team is always available to discuss new themes or to support our clients.

CURRENT BEST PICKS BY
SESAME ACTIVE EQUITY

AGRITECH REVOLUTION

Arable land per capital has decreased by half since 1961 due to rapid population growth, a trend that is poised to persist. The green revolution helped drive yields for cereals in the 1960s, but its effects are now fading. Precision agriculture, as a fully-connected ecosystem, is driving major changes in the industry and might be the solution. Our proposal is, therefore, to build a comprehensive and dynamic exposure to modern agriculture techniques.

INNOVATORS & DISRUPTORS

Data Global Digitalization create new business opportunities: Online advertising, Big data revolution in IT, Cybersecurity, Digital Entertainment, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Digitalization of Healthcare... We believe that several players are already well-positioned and becoming the leaders of tomorrow, as they sit at the forefront of innovation in the above-mentioned fields.

U.S. INFRASTRUCTURE
NEW DEAL

Investing into infrastructure (roads, airports, water, energy utilities, electric vehicles, broadband, renewables) is a relevant alternative to further support growth in the US. They have been constantly ageing over the last decades. We believe that the time has come for a spectacular modernization. There is a strong bipartisan support around infrastructure spending in the US indeed.

HYDROGEN VALUE CHAIN

With falling production costs and strong political initiatives, H2 will become a central pillar of the energy transformation required to limit global warming to 2°C. Hydrogen plays a role in different areas, notably i) enabling large-scale renewable energy integration and power generation ii) decarbonizing transportation, building heat & power, industrial energy demand. The EU launched its Hydrogen strategy, marking a spectacular acceleration in the adoption of H2 policy visions, with production cost expected to fall 3-fold by 2050, in line with fossil fuels. Our proposal is to invest across diversified sectors (Production, Storage, Distribution, Fuel Cells, Mobility) globally (US, France, Germany, UK, South Korea, Japan, China)
