Why Healthcare?

As the world continues to age, the demand for healthcare services will inevitably grow. In the U.S., healthcare expenditures for an individual over the age of 65 is on average roughly five times the spend for a young adult in their twenties. So as the population ages, the healthcare sector benefits from greater demand, despite overall population growth being more modest. With demographics over the next three decades likely written in stone, these tailwinds are expected to be durable and sustainable.
