Investing in an age of disruption

Companies such as Amazon and Netflix are known as disruptors. They have changed our lives.

They have also changed the way companies do business and interact with their customers. Incumbents in their industries either adapt to survive or die.

Schroders' Alex Tedder, Head of Global Equities, and Keith Wade, Chief Economist, explain how to spot a disruptor and the impact they are having on the way we invest and the society we live in.
