CNBC Pro Talks: From weight loss drugs to AI winners, CIO set to reveal his top stocks


CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal and Tema ETFs’ Yuri Khodjamirian.

Weight loss drugs and artificial intelligence have been dominating headlines, with investors betting that stocks in both categories have big potential upside.

On Wednesday’s Pro Talks, CNBC’s Senior Technology Correspondent Arjun Kharpal will ask Tema ETFs’ Yuri Khodjamirian how to best invest in these areas and more.

Khodjamirian is the chief investment officer of Tema ETFs and manages its Monopolies & Oligopolies ETF, which looks to provide investors with long-term growth through companies that operate in monopolistic industry structures.

As well as the obesity drugs of Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, he’ll discuss other promising weight loss treatments still in development — and the pharma stocks that stand to benefit.

On artificial intelligence, Khodjamirian will name his favorite “second-order winners,” such as financial and data companies, as well as semiconductor equipment manufacturers.

Another key theme to watch, according to Khodjamirian, is the U.S. reshoring trend, as geopolitical risks and fragile supply chains lead to a shift in manufacturing that is set to give a number of stocks a boost.

Tema ETFs offers actively managed ETFs, with a focus on healthcare and life sciences.

Before Tema ETFs, Khodjamirian spent over a decade at Majedie Asset Management, overseeing U.K. and global portfolios. As co-manager of the Majedie U.K. Income Fund, he helped build it from the start to a point of holding several billion dollars in assets.
