Demographic Trends Point To Long-Term Investment Opportunities
- Global population is set to expand greatly in the next 40 years.
- Retirement of a wealthy post-WW II "baby boom" generation in developed nations will be a major driver of global consumption trends.
- Unprecedented economic growth in previously under-developed (and hugely populous) nations will lead to an explosion in the middle-class in these nations.
- Investment in companies and sectors set to benefit most from the shift to a more consumptive lifestyle can reap huge rewards.
