Investment Focus

The fund’s aim is to achieve capital growth in the long term. The Bellevue AI Health Fund is a global equity fund with an actively managed portfolio of 50 to 70 stocks, mostly from the healthcare sector, rounded out with a small number of tech companies that have considerable exposure to the healthcare industry. Its focus is on liquid mega and large caps, with modest allocation to mid cap stocks. In addition to fundamental aspects ranging from valuation and growth profiles to profitability, a proprietary «AI Affinity Score» is used to determine how attractive a company is from an AI perspective. The selection of the portfolio companies is entirely bottom up, independent of benchmark weightings. The fund takes ESG factors into consideration while implementing the aforementioned investment objectives.Show moreShow less

Benefits

  • GenAI is speeding up the process of digitization and automation across the healthcare system.
  • GenAI can enhance patient care, simplify processes and procedures, and lead to better decisions.
  • Companies that use or provide GenAI tools for healthcare-relevant purposes will gain a sustainable competitive advantage.
  • Shareholder value creation will largely be determined by a company’s AI strategy and its execution.
  • Bellevue – a pioneer in healthcare investing since 1993 and now one of the largest independent investors in the healthcare space in Europe.

Risks

  • The fund actively invests in equities. Stocks are subject to price fluctuations, so there is a risk of falling prices.
  • The investments the fund makes may be denominated in foreign currency, which can entail a foreign-exchange risk relative to the fund's base currency.
  • The fund may invest some of its assets in financial instruments that may have relatively low levels of liquidity under certain circumstances, which may then affect the liquidity of the fund’s own shares.
  • There are additional risks in the form of political and social unrest when investing in emerging markets.
  • The fund may use derivatives. Derivatives offer greater upside potential yet also carry greater downside risk.

US economic growth continued to stabilize in November and the Federal Reserve lowered its overnight lending rate for the second consecutive meeting, a move that had been widely anticipated. The somewhat surprising election of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States and the Republican sweep of the Senate and the House of Representatives were the headlines that moved markets the most in November.

The outcome of the US elections led global stocks sharply higher. Major large-cap indices such as the MSCI World (+4.6%) and the S&P 500 (+5.9%) closed well in the green. Tech stocks (NASDAQ 100 +5.3%) and small caps (Russell 2000 +11.0%) also showed strong gains. The broader healthcare segment’s performance (-0.9%) was much weaker in comparison. News that Trump had picked vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next US health secretary had an unjustifiably negative impact on biotech and pharmaceutical stocks. The Bellevue AI Health Fund (-1.1%) closed lower as well, and more or less in line with its benchmark.

In view of Trump’s pick for the head of the US’s biggest health agency, the fund’s exposure to BioPharma stocks (53.3% weighting at the end of month) was the primary factor for the fund's weak showing with a negative impact of 2.7% and 0.3%, respectively, on absolute and relative performance. Recursion Pharmaceuticals (+11.9%), Gilead (+4.2%) and Incyte (+0.6%) had a positive impact, while Amgen (-10.9%), AbbVie (-10.3%) and Eli Lilly (-4.0%) weighed on performance. Recursion, a company specializing in AI-driven drug discovery, beat investor sales expectations thanks to a payment from collaboration partner Roche. Gilead exceeded investor sales expectations thanks to HIV drug sales and raised its full-year forecast for 2024. Amgen did not quite meet high investor expectations regarding Phase II data on the efficacy of its obesity drug MariTide, which has a longer dosing interval, but management expressed confidence in the product candidate and is already planning the third phase of this clinical study.

Medtech stocks (28.0%) contributed 0.7% and 0.2% to the fund’s absolute and relative performance. Innovative large-cap medical technology companies with outstanding management teams such as Stryker (+10.1%), Boston Scientific (+7.9%), Intuitive Surgical (+7.6%) and Abbott (+4.8%) made positive contributions to performance. Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next US health secretary reinforced medtech’s reputation as a safe haven. In addition, medtech companies are profiting from the sustained sharp upturn in surgical procedure volumes.

Healthcare services (12.9%) contributed a positive 0.8% to absolute performance and a negative 0.2% to relative performance. While McKesson (+25.6%) and UnitedHealth (+8.1%) made positive absolute contributions, HCA Healthcare (-8.8%) was a performance detractor. McKesson reported interim results that beat low investor expectations and the company raised its earnings guidance for the full year. Trump had voiced support for Medicare Advantage during his first term, which led to the markup in UnitedHealth shares, but he is not expected to maintain federal subsidies for hospitals, which is why HCA Healthcare shares retreated.

The technology segment (5.3%), which includes tech companies from both the healthcare and information technology industries, contributed 0.3% to absolute and 0.2% to relative performance for the month. Oracle (+10.1%), Veeva Systems (+9.1%) and Waystar (+8.2%) made positive contributions to absolute and relative performance, while Qualcomm (-2.6%) was a performance detractor.

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is ushering in an unprecedented technology-driven transformation that ranks right next to other key milestones such as the Internet, cloud computing and the smartphone. GenAI is creating tremendous opportunities for businesses and investors, especially in the health sector. According to a number of studies, the health sector will be one of the industries that will benefit the most from the deployment of GenAI. This forecast is mainly based on the considerable potential for efficiency gains in healthcare systems, on the large, readily available amounts of data in healthcare systems, and on the considerable financial resources available for healthcare needs.

Already today medications are being developed more quickly and with better rates of success, for example, new diagnostic and treatment methods are producing better clinical outcomes, and GenAI is helping medical professionals make better and more informed decisions. We focus on healthcare companies that have made GenAI a core element of their business strategy and that are investing substantial resources in this technology to gain a lasting competitive advantage and achieve superior value growth. The technology risk here is more calculable than in other industries because healthcare is such a heavily regulated industry.
