Healthcare: Top Picks for Q4 2019: Galapagos and Roche

Roche stays in, Galapagos enters the list
As we look to the quarter ahead, we believe it is reasonable to pick defensive stocks and to avoid as much as possible biotech and the most volatile names since the start of the campaign for the US Presidential elections is a risk to the sector in the period.
In general terms, this is why we are going to start with only two names in the list, leaving the door open to additions in the course of the period to add one or two more, maybe at more attractive prices.

Since 1996, Bryan, Garnier & Co has been growing with an absolute conviction that the investment banking landscape would experience a major revolution: most of the large local generalist banking groups will disappear to the benefit of a handful of global powerhouses, and an emerging group of independent, highly specialised boutique investment banks.
