This podcast episode explores the promising investment themes within healthcare, and looks into how private equity can offer an avenue to invest in promising smaller companies before their value becomes widely recognised.

In this episode, Genevieve Cua speaks to Hui Yang Goh, Head of Alternative Investments for Asia, on the opportunities to invest in healthcare through private equity.

Healthcare costs have been globally increasing, and technology and innovation are seen as potential solutions to improve efficiency and reduce expenses.

Innovation often emerges from smaller companies and start-ups, which require funding primarily from private markets, driving the progress. The majority of value creation in the healthcare industry occurs during the product development stage, offering attractive investment opportunities, as evidenced by the high number of drugs approved by the FDA originating from small companies.

The industry benefits from a strong M&A market, with big pharmaceutical companies acquiring innovative start-ups, contributing to the resilient and stable growth of the biotech sector for over a decade.
