The world has changed a lot over the last 20 years. It seems inevitable that it will continue evolving over the next two decades. While it's impossible to know exactly what the future might look like, we can see certain long-term trends emerging that give us a glimpse into what's ahead. We're witnessing companies bringing their businesses into the digital age, the economy transitioning energy sources, and the reversal of globalization.
Investors who plug into these megatrends by investing in stocks poised to capitalize on them should do very well over the next couple of decades. A great way to start is by investing $5,000 or so across American Tower (NYSE: AMT) , Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIPC) (NYSE: BIP) , and Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) . Here's why that move could pay big dividends in the coming years.
American Tower is a real estate investment trust ( REIT ) focused on owning and leasing data infrastructure like cell towers and data centers. Data usage is growing rapidly as businesses undergo digital transformation initiatives to bring more of their business processes online. Likewise, consumers are using more data as they stream videos and other content at home and on the go. As a result, companies need more infrastructure to store and transmit data at faster speeds.
