Brooks Macdonald web-conferences are hosted by investment managers and members of the investment committee. They provide valuable insight into world markets, investment and fund strategies and governance.

In this Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) webinar, Jonathan Webster-Smith, Head of Multi Asset Team and Alex Chittenden, Investment Manager, were joined by Gareth Powell, Co-Head of the Polar Healthcare Team and Manager of the Healthcare Opportunities Fund at Polar Capital.

Polar Capital is a specialist, investment-led, active fund manager. The Healthcare Opportunities Fund aims to preserve capital and achieve long-term growth by investing in a globally-diversified portfolio of companies within the healthcare industry.

The presenters discussed the healthcare sector in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on:

- how the sector has been dealing with the global spread of coronavirus and which subsectors have been the winners and losers during the market sell off

- how healthcare companies are trying to combat the virus and what this means for the industry, whose returns have held up well in this volatile market

- further risks that might affect this sector, such as the US election and the threat of a second wave of the virus

The long-term economic impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare industry

In this update on the Brooks Macdonald Managed Portfolio Service (MPS), Jonathan and Alex discuss:

- how the MPS portfolios have performed and been positioned during the first four months of 2020;
- what the key drivers of returns have been; and
- the importance of remaining invested.
