Tematica Research Head of Indexing Mark Abssy joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share insights regarding the market report that shows the performance of Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity companies in October. According to Abssy, Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity companies, like the broader equity market, faced challenges in October, with the index declining by 6.24% during the month. The advance/decline perspective was also challenging, with 15 companies in the index seeing gains, while 48 companies lost ground. However, amidst the market challenges, there are some bright spots and positive prospects for Digital Infrastructure. One notable development is a new wave of investment as the 5G rollout progresses from its initial stage to the second stage, where existing networks undergo densification. This transition marks the beginning of the real impact of 5G technology, driving the industry forward and leading to record-setting investment flows in the digital infrastructure space. Abssy highlighted key companies that demonstrated positive performance in this environment. For instance, American Tower, a Digital Transmission company, saw its stock trade up by 9.34%. Arista Networks, a Digital Connectivity company, also rose by 8.94% due to strong quarterly results, which led to analyst rating upgrades and increased price targets. In summary, despite market challenges in October, the digital infrastructure and connectivity sector is experiencing growth opportunities, particularly as 5G technology continues to advance. Companies that are well-positioned to benefit from this trend are attracting investment and showing positive performance in the market. #proactiveinvestors #hanetf #5GTechnology #InvestmentOpportunities #TechMarket #EarningsReport #MarketTrends #DigitalEconomy #InfrastructureInvestment #VirtuousCircle #GovernmentSpending #LongTermInvesting #MarketAnalysis #TechnologySector #FinancialNews #EconomicOutlook #MarketInsights #DigitalTransformation #InvestmentStrategies #EconomicTrends #FutureTech #TechInvestments #5GExpansion #DigitalGrowth #MarkAbssyInterview #InvestmentOutlook#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
Tematica Research Head of Indexing Mark Abssy joins Thomas Warner from Proactive to discuss the current state of the digital connectivity and infrastructure markets. Abssy highlights the general pullback in equities in September, attributing it to persistent inflation fears and concerns of potential recession and potentially even a prolonged depression. Despite the downturn, he emphasises the ongoing demand for digital infrastructure, driven by increasing digitisation and the need for supportive infrastructure. He mentioned the "virtuous circle" of technology investing, where despite global challenges, the internet's usage continues to grow. Abssy also touched on macro pressures affecting the market, including recent events in Israel impacting oil markets and concerns about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in the US. He concluded by emphasising the enduring demand for both digital and physical infrastructure. The Tematica BITA Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity Sustainability Screened Index aims to capture the market performance of a basket of global and publicly listed companies that derive over 80% of their revenue or earnings from the provision of at least one of the following services: Data Centers, Data Networks, Digital Connectivity, Digital Transmission, Digital Processing, Digital Services and Intellectual Property. #MarkAbssy #TematicResearch #HANetf #DigitalConnectivity #DigitalInfrastructure #EquitiesPullback #TechnologyInvesting #GlobalMarkets #InflationFears #StrategicPetroleumReserve #InternetUsage #GlobalChallenges #OilMarkets #PhysicalInfrastructure #ProactiveInvestors #strategic #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Tematica Research Head of Indexing Mark Abssy joins Natalie Stoberman from the Proactive studio to discuss its latest Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity report. Tematica Research provides independent Registered Investment Advisors (RIA's), financial institutions and self-directed investors with equity research, economic insights, and investment ideas based upon its proprietary thematic perspective of the world and financial markets. #proactiveinvestors #tematicaresearch #hanetf #etf #digitaletf #investors
"The Fed's playbook is to go bigger for longer," warns Chris Versace, chief investment officer of Tematica Research. Versace tells our Daniela Cambone, "there will be 50 to 75 bps hikes at the November and December FOMC," based on the inflation data forecasted through the rest of 2022. He urges viewers not to "fight the Fed" as the housing market rolls over and highlights that the Fed warned, "there will be some pain experienced." The strength of the U.S. dollar is holding gold down, "but other commodities are rallying such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and others," Versace concludes.
Tematica Research's Chris Versace joined Proactive to speak about the long-term outlook for digital infrastructure and how he sees it navigating any economic slowdown. The HANetf & Quikro Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity UCITS ETF - DIGI - captures the companies that enable the digital applications of today and those that will redefine how people work, live and play tomorrow. DIGI provides exposure to the explosive growth of the digital infrastructure virtuous cycle of expanding data, applications, and bandwidth that drives exponential network growth and the development of new technologies.
"Good news is not good enough," from earnings reports to positive economic data with weighted market uncertainty being at the center of it all, says Chris Versace, Chief Investment Officer of Tematica Research. "We're almost seeing a repeat of the first quarter in 2020," he tells our Daniela Cambone, "but the catalyst is different." "Consumer inflation-fighting stocks are a great safe haven and are companies with an elastic business model," Versace continues when asked about the best place to store money over the next year. He predicts that a "mini-supply chain issue," will arise once China finds its way out of the current Covid resurgence. Due to the Fed facing a lag in the implementation of monetary policy, a soft landing is not likely, Versace concludes.
Tematia Research Chief Investment Officer Chris Versace talks to Proactive about HANetf's Cleaner Living ESG-S UCITS ETF (NYSE:DTOX), which is focused on companies with an emphasis on providing a healthier lifestyle and environmentally low-impact goods and services. This fund seeks to benefit from a broad range of products and services benefitting from the accelerating structural shift in consumer spending towards cleaner and more environmentally friendly solutions. DTOX offers exposures across 5 segments; Cleaner Food & Dining, Cleaner Health & Beauty, Cleaner Building & Infrastructure, Cleaner Transportation, and Cleaner Energy.
HANetf and Tematica Research's Chris Versace talks to Proactive about its November Cleaner Living ESG Market Report. Versace says he is seeing a 'structural shift' that is unfolding in consumer's preferences and spending for what they are putting both in and on their bodies as well as the environmental impact of using these goods and services, prompting corporations to begin to adjust positioning, product lines and production that better reflect consumer preferences and values.
Tematica Research's Chris Versace joined Proactive to speak about HANetf and Quickro's November digital infrastructure and connectivity report and the performance of the Digital Infrastructure and Connectivity ETF. Versace highlights how the US's $1 billion infrastructure bill, signed by President Joe Biden into law today, impacts the area, as well as significant M&A activity in the data center space.

First and foremost… Hurricane Florence is expected to make landfall in the Carolinas on Friday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families that will be impacted by this terrible event. Please be safe! Today I welcome back Chris Versace, co-founder and chief investment officer of Tematica Research. He’s an amazing stock analyst with over 20 years of experience.

Pullbacks in the markets can be disconcerting… but recent activity is perfectly normal. As I’ll explain, it’s actually healthy when stocks pull back gradually… and based on the current fundamental and economic landscape, I suggest using this pullback as a buying opportunity. I also welcome Lenore Hawkins, 20-year market veteran and chief macro strategist at Tematica Research. Lenore breaks down the biggest market risks for investors... including rising interest rates and the looming potential for trade wars. Plus, she shares her favorite tech trend... and how investors can still make money on it. Finally, I break down the recent ruling by the Supreme Court to allow states to legalize gambling, creating a lucrative new $44 billion market.
