How to invest in ageing population using ETFs

How do I invest in stocks that profit from an ageing population?

The average life expectancy of people has been rising consistently for decades. For people born in Europe in 2019, it was already around 80 years. By comparison, in 1911 people only reached an average age of 49 years. At the same time, fewer and fewer children are born in industrialised countries. It is therefore not surprising that the proportion of the elderly population has risen steadily in recent years and will continue to do so in the future.

Companies that have targeted their business model to this population group benefit from the demographic development. These companies include innovative pharmaceutical enterprises, specialised real estate agencies, financial companies and many more.
