The brokerage said, "Thanks to a muted business cycle, low inflation, greater productivity and improved longevity, consumers will earn more over the course of an expanded lifetime of work. Beneficiaries include: selected growth retailers, leisure, health and financial services firms.
UBS also said the changes reflect the information revolution.
"As has been the case in the United States, a global GDP (gross domestic product) shift will see ongoing shrinkage in the agriculture, mining and construction sectors, a decline in importance of the manufacturing sector, and rapid growth in the service/information sector," the brokerage said. "Technology is the irrevocable building block of this revolution. While cyclicality will periodically obfuscate growth, technology, media and telecommunications are inexorably the building blocks of the information age."
