While legacy healthcare sector companies are predominately “Value,” new entrants are by definition “Growth.” We strongly believe that these companies will continue to lead the way across the entire sector well beyond 2021.

For example, companies specializing in chemical simulation software can help scientists discover new molecular compounds much more quickly than in the past. Although many of these technologies were available in the past, their actual use has burgeoned during the pandemic.
