Healthcare comprises many different industries, from pharmaceuticals and medical devices to health insurers, clinical research,biotech, the care sector and hospitals.

Although investments here are affected by negative trends (such as reimbursement), investors currently see them as significantly outweighed by positive indicators:

•          An aging population, demanding more and more healthcare

•          People with chronic diseases living longer

•          Obesity and diabetes epidemics

•          Technological advances

•          The global reach of disease

•          Personalised medicine.

Investing in healthcare is a highly specialist field, demanding experienced executives with both breadth and depth of insight and perspective. Investors may profit from the overall sector and/or its industries.
