  • Motif Investing constantly looks for “trends, ideas and world events that could create an investment opportunity.”
  • They then picks 10 to 30 related stocks to build portfolios around, weighing them based on their exposure to the coinciding idea, event or trend.
  • Among the site’s portfolios that offer moderate volatility and decent –yet market beating- returns is the Junk Foods motif.

From burgers to donuts and sugar-filled carbonated drinks, people can’t seem to get enough of junk food. As people at Motif noted, “It’s convenient, it’s cheap, it tastes great, and in times when people are working more and making less, it’s no surprise that sales of junk foods have continued to rise.”

And this trend is not only seen in the U.S. “Abroad, millions of newly minted middle-class consumers are discovering the joys of a Big Mac or pepperoni pizza,” the site added. “Emerging markets are the next frontier for these companies, and one American company, Yum! Brands, already derives [more than] 40% of its profit from China alone.”

Buy The Stock, Not The Food

So, why not build a portfolio to profit from this unhealthy yet profitable trend? In the end, it’s better to make money from junk food than to spend money in it.
