Healthcare Update: Adding to the Thesis
An update to our Healthcare Basket + Biotech additions
Over the past ten months, the healthcare and biotech sectors have been a battleground of volatility driven by political tremors, shifting policy landscapes, and macroeconomic instability.
RFK and the growing MAHA movement have only added fuel to the fire. But with disruption comes opportunity, and we believe this chaotic backdrop has created some of the most compelling setups in years.
