Geopolitical and terrorism risks are set to drive more spending in sectors such as defense and cyber security, according to Credit Suisse. One key investment focus of millennials — a group that is "increasingly influencing" businesses — is clean energy, and the bank recommends electricity companies that have already started changing their business models to become renewable energy operators. The bank is also bullish on transport infrastructure and 5G operators. Global trends are changing many facets of business and politics. While some of those, such as protectionism and political tensions, may be hurting economies, there are still ways for investors to come out on top, according to Credit Suisse. In a report issued at the Credit Suisse Global Supertrends Conference last week, the bank's Head of Economics and Research Nannette Hechler, and Daniel Rupli, head of single security research, went into "the most significant societal changes" that could result in tangible investment opportunities. Such trends are set to drive more spending in sectors including defense and cyber security. Meanwhile, the "Millennials tide" is just beginning, according to the bank, which referred to how people under the age of 30 are "increasingly influencing businesses and their values." That means that areas such as clean energy could be an important investment focus, it said. Here are some sectors that Credit Suisse says will be boosted by major trends. Security and defense Investments in defense, safety and cybersecurity are expected to increase further on mounting threats, such as terrorism and international conflict. "The danger to public safety from terrorist attacks, a fragile geopolitical situation, or threats from technology are among the key concerns of the public," the report said. The geopolitical environment, especially the situation in the Middle East , Syria and China Seas , "remains tense," it added. Other examples highlighting the need for defense and security include Russia announcing it will deploy a hypersonic missile system and a massive data breach at Marriott's Starwood Hotels database . The protection of personal data is "high on the political agenda," and so investments in cybersecurity are likely to be a top priority for governments and corporations, according to the report. "In addition, given the rapid technological change and interstate strategic competition — which have overtaken terrorism as the primary concern for US national security — defense spending is set to increase further, for instance in areas such as space, Artificial Intelligence, cyber or hypersonic technology," the report said.
