HEALTHCARE

Demographics are a major tailwind for many sectors of the economy, but none more than healthcare. Demand will be enormous for healthcare services, pharmaceutical therapies and products and services aimed at prolonging a healthy, productive life as some 40 million Baby Boomers retire within the next decade.

Companies targeting chronic disease, orthopedics and aesthetics are well positioned to exploit these trends. Advances in technology, coupled with robust levels of early-stage pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, should contribute to advances in personalized medicine and diagnostics.

Our specialty areas in the Healthcare sector include: Biotechnology; Diagnostics; Healthcare Information Technology; Pharmaceutical Services; Life Science Technology; Medical Devices; and Specialty Pharmaceuticals.
