As we prepare for 2025, investors are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by mega forces that continue to redefine markets and economies. Our team at iShares has been closely monitoring the themes that dominated 2024—AI and geopolitics. We believe these forces will remain central, but shifting dynamics may create potential opportunities for investors. Our 2025 Thematic Outlook identifies three structural trends that could shape investment strategies in the coming year: ? Modest rate cuts - After years of rising rates, further rate cuts could provide relief for long-duration assets, particularly in areas like medical innovation and business expansion. ? Building the Physical Economy - Beyond political headlines, bipartisan support for infrastructure, manufacturing, and housing could open avenues for transformative investments. ? The Gen AI Revolution - Advances in technology, from more powerful chips to sophisticated AI models, are accelerating growth across industries and reshaping what's possible. For a more detailed look at how these themes could impact portfolios in the year ahead, tune in below and explore the full 2025 Thematic Outlook: https://ishars.com/4eCHib7

In our 2024 Thematic Mid-Year Update, we honed in on AI & geopolitics as the two main mega forces driving market narratives. Indeed, these two themes stayed in the limelight for virtually the entire year, and we believe are likely to remain in primary focus for 2025. But we are seeing significant shifts in the underlying policies, demographics, and tech developments that could drive these themes forward. Ahead of the new year, investors should consider the exposure they have to these themes and how they may position their portfolio to capture opportunities and mitigate associated risks. Stay tuned for our 2025 iShares Thematic Outlook, coming out this week, where we explore these structural trends and more. In the meantime, check out the latest on the iShares Thematic Investing strategy page to learn more about mega forces and the opportunities they may present for portfolios: https://ishars.com/4eDWftx
