Daniel BlakeGUEST
Well, if you look at where we've started, so thematic investing has been narrative-driven, focusing on identifying major structural trends for investors.

Daniel BlakeGUEST
So at Morgan Stanley, we've identified core themes of artificial intelligence and tech diffusion, the future of energy, societal shifts, and the transition to a multipolar world.

Daniel BlakeGUEST
So what's changing is that investment approaches are becoming much, much faster, so we're now seeing clients deploy agentic AI to drive trade recommendations.

Daniel BlakeGUEST
And sure, AI can read a new hundred-page thematic report from Morgan Stanley faster than humans, but for the right conclusions, it's important to connect these models with high-quality data sets, and we think that's gonna be helpful for human investors as well.

Daniel BlakeGUEST
The first phase was identifying secular trends that cut across markets and industries.
