Metaverse. See it for all it really is.
The Metaverse is an exciting, tangible and growing opportunity driven by companies that, in our view, have the potential to generate strong growth over the next few decades.
What is the Metaverse?
Revolutionary, cutting edge advances in technology have changed how we live, socialise, work and do business. The Metaverse is the confluence of the virtual and physical worlds – while this may sound complex, it is in essence where more technology is being layered on to our everyday life.
Why consider investing in the Metaverse?
The metaverse is driven by companies that, from our perspective, have the potential to generate strong growth over the next decade. We are only at the beginning of this long-term trend and are seeing increasing investment opportunities, with the emergence of promising companies in sectors such as finance or healthcare.
Real, long-term opportunity based on tangible research and development
Numerous companies involved in the metaverse already have a profitable business model and are financially sound, which is why the metaverse is growing rapidly. In 2020, the market was already worth $500 billion with an estimated annual growth of between 10 and 15% per year. By 2024, this market could be worth $800 billion.
The Metaverse is not science fiction or a futuristic concept, it’s a real, tangible investment opportunity for the here and now.
