High risk

The Fund’s objective is to generate an attractive return over a long-term horizon.

Benefits

  • Access to defensive growth – Asia’s emerging countries are facing aging populations and changing lifestyles.
  • An interesting combination of investments in Asian emerging markets and Japanese cutting-edge technology.
  • Broad spread across different sectors and company sizes in the Asia-Pacific healthcare industry.
  • Attractive valuations compared with the projected medium to long-term growth.
  • Bellevue Healthcare Team – top-performing pioneer in the management of healthcare portfolios in emerging markets.

Risks

  • The fund actively invests in equities. Equities are subject to price fluctuations and so are also exposed to the risk of price losses.
  • Investing in emerging markets entails the additional risk of political and social instability.
  • The fund invests in foreign currencies, which means a corresponding degree of currency risk against the reference currency.
  • The fund may invest in China A equities. This entails the risk of supervisory changes, volume caps and operating restrictions which may lead to a higher counterparty risk.
  • 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.

Although the latest US inflation data came in higher than expected, bolstering the "higher for longer" interest rate scenario again, global stock markets managed to end the month with a gain of no less than 4.3% (in USD). Once again stock markets were propelled to higher ground by the so-called Magnificent Seven (tech stocks), led by Nvidia and Meta, both of which reported excellent results. Readouts on the US economy remain very robust. Unemployment has stayed low at 3.7%. Particularly noteworthy is the services sector, where no signs of a slowdown have been observed. Stocks in the Asia-Pacific region kept pace with global markets in February and advanced 4.0% month-on-month. Japan's blue-chip Nikkei Index rose above its previous all-time high of 39000 points dating back to 1989. The Hang Seng Index finally found a more stable footing again and ended the month up more than 6.5% (USD). Healthcare stocks trailed the all-share regional index and closed about 2.1% higher mom. Most of the top performers in the portfolio were Chinese names focused on their domestic market. Meanwhile Chinese companies that generate a high percentage of their sales in the US remained under pressure.

Daiichi Sankyo and its partner AstraZeneca announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted their application for Dato-DXd (datopotamab deruxtecan) for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. This is an important milestone that should further reduce the risk profile of Dato-DXd in the eyes of investors.

China TCM announced that its main shareholder Sinopharm intends to take the company private at a price of HKD 4.6 per share, which represented a premium of 34% versus the pre-announcement closing price. The two companies are already working closely together in areas such as procurement and invoicing. Whether Sinopharm can actually buy out its subsidiary is currently uncertain. We exited the position on this news, as the stock was trading at a discount of only 6% to the proposed buyout price.

The Danish biotech Zealand Pharma announced groundbreaking NASH/MASH (fatty liver) Phase II data on its glucagon/GLP-1 receptor Survodutide. It produced a statistically significant improvement in liver fibrosis, a first in this field of study. Innovent is one of the few companies worldwide that is developing a GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist for the Chinese market. An application for approval in obesity has already been filed with the Chinese authorities and a Phase III trial in NASH/MASH is currently under way. Expectations that Innovent will likewise produce positive results are high. 

Shionogi, CSPC Pharma, Hygeia and Hengrui were added to the fund’s portfolio last month and existing positions in Dr. Reddy's and Akeso were increased. Positions in China TCM and Divi’s Lab were closed and shareholdings of Pro Medicus, Sun Pharma, Apollo Hospital and Max Healthcare were reduced. 

Asia is the most dynamic growth region in the world and it accounts for more than half of the world's population. Asian emerging markets are forecast to account for more than 50% of global GDP by 2050. As household incomes rise, the economic growth model of Asian countries will shift from manufacturing to the services sector. A growing middle class fuels demand for modern medicine. Healthcare ranks increasingly high on their wish list. Billions are being invested in infrastructure, technology and research to modernize the healthcare systems in emerging market countries. This is giving a greater swath of the population access to better healthcare. Meanwhile rapid population aging is also stoking demand for healthcare. In 30 years’ time there will be 400 to 500 million people over 60 in China alone, and they will have a growing need for modern health services and medicines.

Japan, which has been referred to as “the world's demographic laboratory”, has championed cutting-edge innovation for decades. The Land of the Rising Sun boasts technology leadership in numerous fields, ranging from therapeutic antibody technology, immunotherapy and robotics to digitalization, diagnostics and medical imaging systems. The fund offers defensive access to Asian emerging markets as well as exciting investment opportunities in technology leaders throughout the entire region. It invests in the entire healthcare system value chain, from generic drug producers and biotechnology companies to medical device manufacturers and digital health specialists.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and can be misleading. As the sub-fund is denominated in a currency that may differ than an investor’s base currency, changes in the rate of exchange may have an adverse effect on prices and incomes. Performance is shown net of fees and expenses for the relevant share class over the reference period. All performance figures reflect the reinvestment of dividends and do not take into account the commissions and costs incurred on the issue and redemption of shares, if any. Individual costs are not taken into account and would have a negative impact on the performance. With an investment amount of EUR 1,000 over an investment period of five years, the investment result in the first year would be reduced by the front-end load of up to EUR 50 (5%) as well as by additional individual custody charges. In subsequent years, the investment result would also be reduced by the individual custody account costs incurred. The reference benchmark of this class is used for performance comparison purposes only (dividend reinvested). No benchmark is directly identical to a sub-fund, thus the performance of a benchmark is not a reliable indicator of future performance of the sub-fund it is compared to. There can be no assurance that a return will be achieved or that a substantial loss of capital will not be incurred. All figures in base currency in %, calculated by the total return / BVI method.Show moreShow less
