The healthcare sector combines innovation, growth rates that rival technology, and outcomes that save and improve lives. After a four-year bear market following the COVID-era boom, the sector now appears to be in the early innings of a recovery. 

This whitepaper addresses 3 key investor questions at this important juncture:

  • Do healthcare equities have further room to run?

  • Why is healthcare investing unique, and what is the right approach?

  • How will artificial intelligence drive future growth in healthcare?

Key Takeaways: 

  • Healthcare is turning the corner. After a four-year bear market, the sector appears to be entering a new bull cycle, with valuations still compelling and IPO activity yet to normalize.

  • Innovation is accelerating. Large drugs addressing large markets are reshaping the opportunity set, but much of this progress remains underappreciated by investors.

  • AI is a mispriced catalyst. Across healthcare delivery, efficiency, and R&D productivity, AI’s impact is broad and growing—making expertise critical to capture the upside.
