Let’s be honest, we’re all a bit tired of grand predictions about the future. Flying cars, robot butlers, the usual guff. Most of it never happens. But some trends aren’t flashy predictions, they are slow, grinding certainties. And one of the biggest, most unavoidable trends is that we are, quite simply, running out of the basics. I’m not talking about the latest smartphone chip. I’m talking about clean water, usable farmland, and essential materials. To me, this isn't a cause for panic, it's a signpost for where the smart money might be heading next.

While politicians posture and activists protest, a quiet revolution is happening in the background. It’s not glamorous, but it’s incredibly important. Think about water. We take it for granted until the tap runs dry. The reality is that global water demand is set to outstrip supply by a staggering 40% within the decade. That’s not a distant problem, it’s an impending economic reality.
Companies are already building the solutions. Forget the Silicon Valley hype cycles. I’m talking about businesses like Xylem, which develops the technology to treat and manage water. This isn't a speculative bet on a new app, it's an investment in the fundamental plumbing of civilisation. As water becomes more precious than oil, the companies that control its flow, treatment, and recycling could be in an incredibly powerful position. It’s a gold rush, but the gold is clear, liquid, and essential for life.

This scarcity problem extends far beyond water. Our entire industrial and agricultural model is built on an assumption of abundance that no longer holds true. We need to produce 70% more food by 2050, yet we have less fertile land to do it on. The old ways just won’t cut it. This is where innovation becomes a necessity, not a luxury.
Consider vertical farming. It sounds like something from a science fiction film, but its economics are brutally simple. Using 95% less water and 99% less land than traditional agriculture makes it a compelling solution in a resource constrained world. Similarly, companies in the materials science space are essentially inventing our way out of a corner, creating advanced polymers and sustainable solutions to replace the resources we’re depleting. They aren’t just making things better, they are making things possible.

For years, investing in resources meant one thing: buying commodity stocks and hoping prices went up. That’s a cyclical game of boom and bust. I think that playbook is becoming obsolete. The real opportunity isn't in the raw materials themselves, but in the technology and services that help us use them more efficiently. It’s a fundamental shift from speculating on price to investing in solutions.
This is about backing the innovators who are turning scarcity into an asset. These are the companies building water recycling systems, pioneering precision agriculture, and designing next generation materials. A collection of these businesses, like the Resource Scarcity Portfolio, offers a different way to think about this theme. It focuses on the problem solvers, not just the stuff we’re running out of.
Of course, no investment is a sure thing. This isn't a magic bullet. Technology companies face risks, new solutions might fail to scale, and markets can be volatile. But the underlying driver, scarcity, isn't going away. Demand for water, food, and materials is not cyclical. It doesn’t vanish in a recession. If anything, the pressure only intensifies, which could provide a powerful tailwind for the companies positioned to solve these very real, very urgent problems.
