    Future Electrification 

    one of the greatest opportunities in the history of capitalism?

     

    Electrification is becoming one of the biggest system changes in the history of capitalism – and potentially one of the most significant investment opportunities of our time. Free-falling costs, massive efficiency gains and widespread applications will drive shifts in profit pools across sectors focused on energy demand, supply and enabling solutions.

    a large opportunity set.

    LO Funds – Future Electrification aims to invest in companies that are at the forefront of rewiring the global economy. To identify opportunities, we focus on three themes that we believe are crucial growth drivers for mass electrification to develop a highly pure, global thematic universe for research-driven, active stock selection.

    rewiring our economies.

    There is broad and robust scientific consensus on the actions required to restore the ability of our planet to sustain life and economic activity. Championed by powerful institutions around the globe, governments, businesses and consumers, it underpins the CLIC® transition. Electrification is fundamental to this rewiring, and is accelerating at scale.

    Electrification is transforming the economy, and will generate key outcomes:

    • Outcompete the fossil-fuel economy
    • Unlock efficiency gains and support carbon neutrality
    • Offer the potential for major financial upside for investors

    • We have seen it many times before, yet it still surprises us. Technology-driven transitions tend to follow an ‘S-shaped’ curve.

      At first, change is almost imperceptible. Innovations progress from concept to proven solution. Supportive policies, and the prospect of new sources of profit compel companies to deploy resources and investors to commit capital. As production capacity builds, costs fall, and the winning solution approaches the tipping point of mass-market adoption.

      The transition, which started slowly at first, now happens all at once. Equity markets are generally forward-looking but still often fail to appreciate the scale and speed of change as the S-curve steepens. Electrification is at this stage, as three prerequisites for unlocking green growth coincide: affordability, functionality and accessibility.

      • Affordability: costs for wind, solar and batteries have plummeted by 60-80% in the last 10 years
      • Functionality: the efficiency of solutions such as heat pumps, electric-vehicle (EV) motors and LEDs now beat their incumbents by a factor of 3-5x
      • Accessibility: favourable economics and better performance are seeing these solutions become ubiquitous

    • As more tipping points within the shift to electrification are crossed, the energy system is moving at speed and scale away from a fossil-fuelled, centralised, unidirectional, dirty and wasteful model to an electrified, decentralised, bidirectional, clean and efficient one.

      Source: LOIM 2023. For illustrative purposes only. 

    • USD 24.5 trillion of capital expenditure is on course to be deployed towards electrifying the energy system in this decade alone. We believe this is going to shift dozens of revenue pools across the energy value chain, transforming supply, demand and the market for solutions enabling this transition. For instance:

      • Energy-related building renovations will become a USD 875 billion market growing at 7% per year
      • EV sales will become a USD 1.7 tn market growing at 19% per year
      • Wind and solar power generation will become an USD 875 bn market growing at 18% per year
      • Small-scale batteries will accelerate by 34% per year to become a USD 130bn market
      • Power electronics will become a USD 730 bn market
      • Solar module manufacturing will become a USD 120 bn market, growing at 6% per year
      • These new growth markets will displace fossil-fuel-driven incumbents:
      • The internal combustion engine market will plummet at a rate of 8% per year
      • Oilfield services and natural gas infrastructure will decline at a rate of 2-6% per year
         

      Source: Lombard Odier projections; Note: Capex includes full spending on new technologies (such as solar panels, wind turbines, etc.). For transitioning products, such as vehicles, it includes only the increase in capex related to electrification (for instance, the difference in cost between a regular vehicle and an electric vehicle), to ensure that the capex spend shown relates most directly to specific trends around electrification. There is no guarantee that a target objective will be reached (not an accurate indicator). 

    electrification investment themes.

    Moving at scale, depth and speed, electrification is rewiring the energy system. We approach this opportunity by focusing on the following three themes.

    1. Demand

    As clean electricity displaces fossil fuels, sectors from buildings to mobility and industry will be transformed. From today until 2050, the share of electricity in each of these markets will fast become dominant:

    Buildings: from 35% to 83%, as properties undertake green renovation
    Mobility: from 1% to 70%, as transportation systems become electrified
    Industry: from 22% to 55%, as carbon is removed from processes like steelmaking

    This shift in demand will significantly impact profit pools, such as those in the heating market.

    2. Supply

    To meet rapidly increasing demand, the supply of renewable power, electricity transmission capacity and distribution, and energy storage must surge. By 2030:

    Wind and solar power’s share of electricity generation will more than triple
    Battery storage capacity will rise 41x 
    21 million kilometres of additional transmission and distribution networks will be installed 

    Such massive increases in electricity supply will reshape profit pools, such as those in the market for power electronics that control and convert electricity.

    Source: LOIM 2023. For illustrative purposes only. 

     

    3. Enabling solutions 

    To enable these immense changes in supply and demand, specific raw materials, dedicated infrastructure and advanced technological components are essential. 

    This is already apparent in the electrification of mobility. In 2017, one in 80 autos sold was an EV. Now one in 7 cars bought is battery-powered. By 2030, it will be 1 in 1.6 – or 63% of the market – and this is driving huge value-chain disruptions in the passenger-car market. 

    • The value of essential metals (like aluminium, copper and lithium) used in an EV is 7x greater than those used in an ICE
    • Semiconductors used in EVs are valued 4x more than those for ICE vehicles
    • The capex for EV charging infrastructure will double this decade, unlocking a USD 200 bn market in charging services by 2030 
    • EV battery manufacturing is growing at 20% per year and will unlock a USD 100 bn market by 2030 
    • Passenger cars are becoming super-computers: the automotive-software market is growing at a rate of 56% per year and will unlock a USD 225 bn market by 2030 

    Semiconductors are already in strong demand across industries. The continued electrification of mobility will only intensify their attractiveness.

    Our research committee, consisting of seven members and includes our Equities CIO, meets once a week to review our electrification stock universe. Through an iterative process, these companies are further analysed jointly by sustainability research and investment specialists to consider thematic and financial characteristics. The result is a continually validated 280-stock universe with a high level of thematic purity and potential to generate what we define as green alpha: a source of equity outperformance that is linked to the environmental transition but not yet priced by the market. 

    The investment committee, whose seven members include the portfolio management team and chief sustainability strategist, meets twice weekly to assess: 

    •    Macro dynamics 
    •    Sector and regional constraints 
    •    Style bias in the context of macro dynamics 
    •    Investment ideas with margin of safety 
    •    Risk management

    1 We refer to “Green Alpha” where companies are likely to perform better financially in an environmentally-aligned scenario, compared to consensus. To assess green alpha, we assess market tipping points linked to emerging regulation, cost-down curves, and the pricing in of environmental externalities. Based on this analysis, we aim to describe, quantitatively or qualitatively, total addressable market (TAM) potential. Where companies are exposed to TAMs that are likely materially in excess of market consensus, we consider such companies to be exposed to green alpha. Although we believe there are investable opportunities related to these transitions, there can therefore be no guarantee of excess performance.
