Worldwide Healthcare Trust - Business as usual under new lead manager

Worldwide Healthcare Trust (WWH) is managed by OrbiMed Capital, a leading specialist healthcare investment company. Since December 2017, following the departure of Sam Isaly, its lead manager is Sven Borho, who is a founding partner of OrbiMed and has been involved with the management of WWH since the trust’s launch in April 1995. Borho is bullish on the outlook for the global healthcare sector due to continued innovation, a benign regulatory environment, an expected acceleration in mergers and acquisitions, and inexpensive company valuations. WWH has a positive long-term performance track record. Its NAV and share price total returns have exceeded the MSCI World Health Care index total returns over one, three, five and 10 years.
