Harnessing opportunities in healthcare

In a new report, private markets experts Titanbay discuss why they believe specialist investors with deep domain knowledge and industry expertise are best placed to support the development of healthcare solutions of the future.
Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest-growing global industries and it has the power to transform living standards.

Healthcare is one of the largest and fastest-growing global industries and it has the power to transform living standards. Private equity firms have played an active role in the global healthcare sector for decades and it continues to provide a large and growing opportunity set for investment. The global healthcare market is estimated to expand to $9.9 trillion by 2030 and $14.4 trillion by 2050.

Several key trends are driving its current growth phase: shifting demographics, namely an increasing and ageing population; technological developments, such as electronic health records and smart medical devices; and the evolution of niche areas like pharmacogenetics. The industry is also characterised by the depth of its sub-sectors, from healthcare services to pharma to medtech, all with different underlying drivers and opportunities. Equally, there are distinct market dynamics at play across geographies.

Given the healthcare industry’s breadth and complexity, it is a challenging sector for investors to navigate. There are risks, such as a changing regulatory backdrop and ever-increasing public scrutiny. It is also extremely competitive, as healthcare’s historically high returns over other sectors continue to tempt new investors. Private equity healthcare deals entered since 2010, for example, delivered an impressive median internal rate of return (IRR) of 26.9%, which is 560 basis points higher than the median for other industries.

As ever, manager selection remains crucial for any potential investor to consider, as there is a significant dispersion of returns between the top and bottom-quartile funds in healthcare deals. Investors should also be aware of the material margin between the performance of specialist and generalist investors, both on a cost-multiple and IRR basis.

For these reasons, private markets experts Titanbay believe specialist healthcare investors with deep domain knowledge and industry expertise are best placed to harness the sector’s trends and support the development of healthcare solutions of the future.

Investments in private placements and private equity investments via feeder funds in particular, are complex, highly illiquid and speculative in nature and involve a high degree of risk. The value of an investment may go down as well as up, and investors may not get back their money originally invested. Investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest. Past performance, including simulated performance, is not a reliable indicator of future performance. For private equity investments via feeder funds, investors will typically receive illiquid and/or restricted membership interests that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. Investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 10 years) should not invest.
