About this episode

This episode discusses the evolving role of healthcare in investment portfolios, highlighting innovation in the pharma sector and the impact of AI and genomics.

Health care has not seen the same stock market traction as AI and power and resources over the past year, but continues to serve as a key ingredient to a diversified portfolio and a source of stability. This episode explores how the sector is not just a defensive play, with the pharma industry moving toward innovation-driven growth led by GLP-1 drugs. At the same time, advances in artificial intelligence and genomics are transforming how drugs are discovered, while an aging global population provides a powerful structural tailwind for demand.
