Robust innovation, expanding end markets and pandemic related backlogs result in higher average growth rates
Pharmaceutical companies generate stable and predictable earnings, carry low financial leverage and consistently grow their dividends
Elevated R&D spending from industry, government and academic centres support robust genomics, DNA sequencing and molecular diagnostics innovation
Subsiding COVID-19 hospitalizations and low unemployment improves the case mix and should lead to higher utilization of healthcare services
Middlefield’s healthcare strategies are designed for investors seeking income and growth. Healthcare companies sell needs-based products and services which underpin high-quality earnings, consistent dividend increases and durable growth prospects. In Canada, the healthcare sector represents less than 1% of the TSX Composite index vs. approximately 14% of the S&P 500 Index (2nd largest sector weighting). As a result, many Canadian investors are underexposed to healthcare. Middlefield’s healthcare portfolios are actively managed and comprised of leading companies diversified across the healthcare sector.
