A New Asset Class: Investing in the Digital Asset Ecosystem
 
Blockchain technology supports many megatrends such as decentralised finance (DeFi), Web 3.0, and the metaverse. All can be a source of exponential growth. 

Investing in digital assets is the pure play route to access the space’s growth potential. However this asset class usually sits outside the traditional financial system, unlike 'blockchain equities', and investors might find the learning curve is steep. 

This webinar aims to ease investors’ path to digital asset adoption by addressing three main challenges head-on.
1. Understand the digital asset ecosystem, the different use cases and the economics driving the unique investment cases
2. How to invest in Digital Assets easily and securely when the infrastructure they are built on is so different from traditional assets
3. What are the advantages of Digital Assets in a strategic asset allocation, and why even returns as low as 6% annualised for the asset class could warrant a 1% exposure?

Tightening monetary policy doesn’t necessarily preclude equities and fixed income from having a good year. The hawkish pivot by some developed market central banks is telling of a regime change in markets, leading to the fastest rotation from growth into value stocks since the Global Financial Crisis. Diversification will become increasingly important with equity exposures across quality, value, and growth historically providing resilience to portfolios amid a turbulent macro backdrop. In the first half of the webinar, our equity research experts Aneeka Gupta and Mobeen Tahir will discuss the three key themes impacting equity markets in 2022 and how investors can tilt portfolios accordingly.

For bond market participants, the start of 2022 has been marked by a risk-off sentiment driven partly by the start of less accommodative monetary policy for some major central banks. Investors are currently getting paid more for taking risks since the start of the year and this is creating new opportunities in bond markets for asset classes that have previously shown to be more resilient to rising yields. In the second half of the webinar, our fixed income research experts Lidia Treiber, Didier Haenecour, and Piergiacomo Braganti will discuss the three key themes impacting fixed income markets in 2022 and how investors can adapt their portfolios to be more resilient to rising bond yields.

WisdomTree Equity & Fixed Income Outlook – “Building more resilient portfolios”

After a strong year in 2021, the crypto market has been caught-up by the macro backdrop and most crypto assets now sit quite a bit below their highest point in 2021. With high levels of inflation in most developed economies, central banks appear likely to tighten monetary policies quite significantly. In this context, what can we expect from crypto in 2022? Join Alice Liu, Benjamin Dean and Florian Ginez in this podcast to learn what we think are the potential positive and negative catalysts for the market in the coming year.

WisdomTree Crypto Outlook: What Catalysts for Crypto in 2022?

In the year of the Tiger, commodities have gotten off to a roaring start. Even in 2021, commodities had outperformed most major asset classes. The drivers – elevated inflation, an infrastructure boom and an energy transition -  are here to stay in 2022 and beyond. Recent geopolitical events underscore the importance of commodities in hedging against geopolitical shocks. With commodity markets geared to backwardation, we believe that we are in one of the best environments for commodity investing we have seen in a long time. Join Nitesh Shah, Head of Commodity and Macroeconomic Research as he dissects the drivers the commodity renaissance and gives his outlook on the asset class for this year.

WisdomTree Market Outlook: The commodity renaissance

Many megatrends represent a choice. Should a company use cloud-based software, for example. We may have a view, but we have to recognise that it’s not required. Cybersecurity is not an option for a responsible business, especially given the different hacks that we have seen of late. If a business is concerned with the data of its customers and its reputation, then it needs a cybersecurity strategy and cybersecurity investment. Now, the challenge comes in predicting which companies or approaches to cybersecurity will emerge as ‘best’ given the plethora of choices. Hackers will keep seeking to enhance their capabilities, so we believe that a cybersecurity strategy in 2022 must focus on the future and consider not what has worked well in the past 10 years, but where we might be over the coming 10 years.
Highlights:
+ How to think about cybersecurity in the current context
+ Separating recent performance from growth trends
+ Putting recent news, be it hacks or government policy announcements, into the broader framework

Join this webinar to learn more about the cybersecurity megatrend. 

Megatrends are powerful, long-term, transformative changes shaping the world that we live in today. The exciting new developments in technology create a compelling case for the needs of the future and the industries likely to drive global transformation. 

We’re running webinars on megatrends that could transform our society: the biorevolution, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. Hear from our Global Head of Research on why these megatrends sit at the forefront of technological change and how they could power a portfolio.

Megatrends series - Cybersecurity: This megatrend is not optional
