Global roadshow check-up: A conversation with Liz Everett, Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s global head of corporate access

Thinking about next stages in corporate access, Everett invokes thematic research on issues like water scarcity, cybersecurity, robotics, longevity or other factors shaping the future. Michael Hartnett, Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s chief investment strategist, has made a strong case for thematic investing continuing to outperform. As result, corporate access events are featuring thematic sessions while whole new investor conferences are being organized around themes instead of sectors. ‘Companies care because if they can get associated with a theme, that’s going to broaden the number of investors who might not have been thinking about them as a relevant investment option. It is win-win,’ Everett explains.
