Appendix
Investment case – how to deal with scarcity?
• Buy solutions to resource scarcity
• Improved quality features
• Exposure to secular growth
• Anticipate future demand
• Gain market share
• Buy “bottleneck” resources
• Limited improvement potential
• Exposure to cyclical growth
• React to historical demand
• Lose market share
By anticipating changing resource consumption, the Smart Materials strategy offers superior investment opportunities at a lower risk
