We can now take advantage of rapid advances in healthcare science, new procedures and better use of data science and computing power. At the same time, healthy living and wellbeing are staying firmly in the spotlight. And of course, the 2020 pandemic changed the landscape of healthcare innovation forever.
Although traditionally seen as a source of relatively defensive growth, the rapid pace of change across the healthcare sector is opening up a new world of healthcare investment opportunities.
*Schroder International Selection Fund is referred to as Schroder ISF.
And why innovation is driving investment in the world’s health.
Global healthcare portfolio manager John Bowler weighs in
We’ve been managing healthcare portfolios since 200. Our team of 5 healthcare specialists have over 90 years of combined investment experience and look after US $10 bn of healthcare assets.
Benefit from diversification across five healthcare sub-sectors
1. Advanced therapies: gene therapy, precision medicines
2. Med tech: robotics, connected healthcare
3. Healthcare services: telehealth, healthcare management
4. Digital healthcare: biosensors and trackers, AI
5. Wellbeing: body and fitness, seeing and hearing
A focused, yet diverse portfolio for potential long-term returns
We look across the sector to construct a portfolio with 50 to 70 stocks that reflect our best ideas – and aim to deliver steady returns over the long-term.
Backed by insights from our dedicated data team
A team of 20+ data scientists, statisticians and mathematicians supplement traditional financial data with alternative data sets and techniques including artificial intelligence and machine learning to find companies that shape the future of healthcare.
