Disruptive Heatlhcare Companies have underperformed the broader market over the last 12 months. However, that trend has reversed in the last 2 months. 📉The disruptive healthcare goup has traded down -2.2% over the last 12 months while the S&P 500 was up 11.3% during that same time. 📈However, since the November 9th low for the Disruptive Healthcare index, the group has traded up 27.6% in just 2 months versus the S&P 500 which is up 10.0% in that time. 🚀We continue to see this playing out in the private markets with a surge in funding interest for private companies in the space since late Q4 as well. 💡More insights below on our Disruptive Healthcare substack.
