Hello everyone, I’m Ed Gotham, and welcome to Opto Sessions where we interview the top investors from around the world uncovering their secrets to success.

Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming back Jay Jacobs, the U.S. Head of Thematics and Active Equity ETFs at BlackRock. Here one of Jay's main priorities is leading on the research and development of the Megatrends suite of active and index-based thematic ETFs.

Previously, Jay was SVP and head of research & development at Global X ETFs, a leader in the thematic ETF space.

In this interview, we discuss the great acceleration which covers 3 trends poised for exponential growth: Industrial Renaissance, the Power of the Purse, and Post-Covid Medical innovation.

Enjoy!
