After unwinding COVID distortions, the health care sector has significantly underperformed the broader market. Yet it ranks high on our two favoured quality metrics, ROOCE and gross margins, with the second highest EPS growth of any sector in the MSCI World Index over the past 20 years. Its strong long-term outlook is reinforced by a rapidly ageing global population, untapped global market opportunities, the nondiscretionary nature of its demand, and broad technological innovation potential.
