Review: Healthy returns from an established specialist
Worldwide Healthcare Trust (WWH) invests globally in companies involved in healthcare-related activities. It is overweight biotechnology and underweight pharmaceuticals relative to its benchmark MSCI World Health Care Index, and as such has outperformed on the back of strong returns from biotech over the past three years and in the sector’s recent bounce back from a spring sell-off. Its managers – whose sole focus is on life sciences – adopt a bottom-up investment process focused on understanding both the science and the financials behind potential investments. In spite of strong performance, WWH’s discount has widened recently and may indicate an attractive entry point for long-term investors.Worldwide Healthcare Trust is an investment trust.
