Benefits

  • Investments in the 45 most attractive healthcare stocks worldwide with due account taken of current sustainability criteria.
  • Many years of recognized bottom up expertise coupled with comprehensive sustainability research from Sustainalytics.
  • The sustainability filter combines a best-in-class approach with the application of a strict exclusion procedure.
  • Proprietary investement process: Half-yearly company evaluation and rebalancing.
  • Underweighting of pharma and US stocks against the relevant healthcare indices, and a strong focus on mid caps.

Risks

  • The fund actively invests in equities. Equities are subject to strong price fluctuations and so are also exposed to the risk of price losses.
  • The fund may invest a proportion of its assets in financial instruments that might under certain circumstances have a relatively low level of liquidity, which can in turn affect the fund’s liquidity.
  • The fund invests in foreign currencies, which means a corresponding degree of currency risk against the reference currency.
  • Investing in emerging markets entails the additional risk of political and social instability.
  • The fund may engage in derivatives transactions. The increased opportunities gained come with an increased risk of losses.

Global equities performed poorly in March 2025, with the MSCI World Index down 4.5%. Uncertainty regarding US trade tariffs, and fear that austerity could drive an economic slowdown, contributed to a negative equity market environment as investors were quick to price in a potential slower earnings growth environment. US tech stocks (Nasdaq 100; -7.6%) and small-cap US stocks (Russell 2000; -7.0%) came under significant pressure, while European indexes (e.g. Dax in USD; +2.2%) performed better. 

Healthcare (MSCI World Healthcare) outperformed global equities (MSCI World) in March by 213 bps. While the sector declined on an absolute basis (-2.3%), it proved to be a relatively safe haven. We see this as being in line with the sector's fundamentals, such as high margins, innovation, and inelastic demand for its products and services. While the defensive names in the sector remained solid, caution is leaving the more innovative names on the sidelines. Biotech performed poorly in the month (NBI; -6.0%), with further underperformance for the higher-growth smaller companies (XBI Biotech ETF; -8.6%). This subsector has suffered from increased regulatory risk driven by changes in leadership at the FDA.  

Healthcare services (+7.8%) was the best performing healthcare GICs industry, driven by supportive guidance commentary, and a lack of tariff exposure. Cost saving initiatives within the National Institute of Health has created some uncertainty regarding life science tools (-4.5%) earnings, which was the worst performing industry in the month. From a geographical point of view, Asian healthcare (+1.2%) performed best in March, followed by emerging markets (+1.1%). US (-1.8%) and particularly European (-4.5%) healthcare were disappointing in the month, with the difference being the strength of services in the US and weakness in Novo Nordisk shares. 

The Bellevue Sustainable Healthcare Fund (I-shares: -2.8%, in USD) underperformed its healthcare index benchmark by 44 bps. Despite benefiting from overweight positioning in Asian and emerging market healthcare, the fund suffered from its overweight positioning in growth and mid-cap healthcare. Within the fund, the strongest absolute performance reported during the month was from US MCO Elevance (+10.1%; supportive management commentary). On the other hand, the most negative absolute performance was from European mega-cap pharma Novo Nordisk (-23.1%; weakening obesity prescriptions). 

Global healthcare is proving to be a relative safe haven in a difficult equity market so far in 2025 (+5.1% ytd). We expect the uncertainty and volatility in equity markets to continue. The global allocation strategy in this fund may be beneficial in this environment. In healthcare, high gross margins and diversified manufacturing bases should help protect the bottom-line from tariffs, although significant uncertainty remains. With inelastic demand for healthcare products and services, we see the sector a likely to remain attractive investment in turbulent times.
