There is an old saying: “Fortune favours the bold”. Those who dare to innovate, disrupt, enable, and adapt are oftentimes highly rewarded. This is true now more than ever as new technologies constantly redefine the way we live, work, and play.

The DBS Chief Investment Office strives to be on top of such trends and has introduced a thematic strategy, coined I.D.E.A., an acronym which stands for Innovators, Disruptors, Enablers, and Adapters. This proprietary strategy seeks to identify companies that challenge the status quo, embrace the digital world, transform, and thrive.

  • I – Innovators: Constantly doing things differently to challenge the status quo
  • D – Disruptors: Create new products and services which displace mainstream leaders
  • E – Enablers: Empower innovation and disruption to be successful
  • A – Adapters: Traditional companies that successfully adapt and transform their business models

Digital innovation has truly engendered a huge and very promising opportunity set for investors. If you would like to get more information on I.D.E.A., feel free to contact your Relationship Manager for assistance or make an appointment by clicking HERE.
