ROBO Global is an index, advisory, and research company focused 100% on helping investors capture the unique opportunities of fast-growing robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence (RAAI) companies around the world.

While M&A has been a strong tailwind since the inception of the ROBO index, 2020 was a banner year with 7 of the 86 members of the ROBO Index receiving takeover offers. Meanwhile, venture funding and exits reached record highs. 

In this webinar we will:
-  Look at the data and follow the money
-  Discuss key trends including the return of mega deals, the focus on software, healthcare technology, and autonomous vehicles
-  Discuss the implications for investors

ROBO Global Spotlight on M&A in Robotics, Automation and Healthcare Innovation

Advances in medicine and technology have increased our lives' duration and quality, opening up opportunities for investors focused on the health and wellness industries.  Technology enables us to track our health indicators, which changes the dynamic between healthcare companies, technology companies, and consumers. Holistic health services are also becoming more popular, decreasing the demand for mega-hospitals and increasing the demand for local, customized care solutions. And, as COVID-19 has forced a need for virtual interactions, people have become more comfortable receiving sensitive advice over the phone, paving the way for mass adoption of telemedicine.

With all of these areas of change, how can investors look at health & wellness more opportunistically? 

This webinar will dive into:
- The dynamics between healthcare and technology 
- How telemedicine can democratize access to high-quality health care
- Opportunities emerging in localized solutions to the current centralized healthcare industry

Speakers:
- Allan Lane, Co-founder, Algo-Chain
- Jeremie Capron, Director of Research, ROBO Global
- Anthony Ginsberg, Managing Director, GinsGlobal
- Grzegorz Juchniewicz, Investment Manager, NeonDigitise

A Conversation with MIT's Daniela Rus on The Future of Robotics & AI Investing

The ROBO Global innovation indices outperformed during the worst quarter for global equities since
2008. We expect the COVID-19 crisis to remain a relatively short-term event and with strong balance sheets and a small-mid-cap tilt, the ROBO Global index portfolios are well positioned to continue to outperform in the current environment. Join this webinar as our team covers the index performance in Q1 and our POV on the current and future impact of the COVID-19 crisis.

Q2 Investor Call

Growth in developed markets is slowing, which will effect Emerging Markets. But what are the causes of the slowdown, and how do they compare to the past? If the source is oil prices, what does this mean for oil-rich countries like Venezuela, Nigeria, or Saudi Arabia? 

If the source is Central Banking policies, either coming from the US Federal Reserve or the European Central Bank – how will relative strength or weakness in currencies affect countries that hold debt? 

When headlines abound around trade, trade deficits, and trade surpluses, how can investors hedge their bets? 

And as economies emerge alongside technology, labor costs become as much an economic issue as a political issue. What role does automation play in the growth story? 


This panel will discuss questions facing emerging markets including:

·        Are EMs better equipped to handle growth slowdown than in 2015? What do they have going for them now that they didn’t back then?  
·         Are we in an EM rally? If so, how long will the EM rally last? 
·        Central Banking policies effect on EM 
·         Areas to avoid vs. attractive areas? 


Panelists include:

Magdalena Polan -  Global EM Economist at LGIM
Adrian Lowcock - Head of Personal Investing at Willis Owen
Richard Lightbound, CEO EMEA & Asia at ROBO Global

ETFs in 2018: Strategies and Market Movements

A few years ago "ESG” was just a page at the back of a presentation. Today it has achieved greater prominence with new initiatives such as impact investing and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. However, questions still remain about what ESG integration really means and whether the increasing use of frameworks and questionnaires is distracting from engagement. 

This expert panel will look at what ESG integration means and at the practical implementation of ESG considerations within portfolios. They will discuss whether ESG can be implemented, at best, without negatively impacting returns or whether there is recent evidence that it can actually benefit both risk and return. 

While impact investing dominates the headlines, most of the assets that firms manage on behalf of their clients integrate an assessment of ESG factors into their process but do not tilt towards sustainable investments. The panel will discuss this issue and the likely future trends in ESG investment including how ESG fits in with the Mega trends defined by the PRI or WEF.
