Uncovering Trusts – Healthcare-focused trusts: A sector on the mend

Uncovering Trusts – Healthcare-focused trusts: A sector on the mend

In this episode, our healthcare analyst, Jyoti Prakash, CFA, and director of content, investment trusts Milosz Papst discuss Edison’s latest thematic research note on healthcare-focused investment companies as a way of gaining exposure to the sector while managing the downside risk. Following a turbulent period in recent years, the healthcare sector (and in particular small and mid-cap biotech companies) are now primed for a turnaround. The sector remains fundamentally strong, and the downturn after 2021 led to rightsizing and more realistic valuations (which potentially offer an attractive entry point). This is coupled with continued high level of innovation, a looming patent cliff for big pharma, an uptick in IPO and M&A activity, as well as technology-driven advancements. All this creates fertile ground for a re-rating of the sector on the back of the recent reversal in the interest rate cycle, as well as the conclusion of the US presidential elections.
