TopGun Investment Minds – Global Healthcare
Global Healthcare TopGun Investment Minds Announced By Brendan Wood International
PALM BEACH, FL, March 14, 2011 (TOPGUN PRESS) – In continuing its search for the TopGun Investment Minds globally, Brendan Wood International today announced the TopGuns of the Healthcare sector as selected by the world leading analysts in the 600 member BWI Panel.
The Healthcare industry underwent sweeping changes in calendar 2010 including U.S. legislative changes, rising incidence of chronic disease and 2009/2010 consolidation among industry players. Thus, the normally conservative Healthcare sector experienced a fast-paced year of change. BWI’s Analyst Panel selected many individual TopGun Investment Professionals in recognition of their ability to forecast and adapt.
The best and the brightest in Healthcare were also cited for their utmost patience and the wisdom to understand a drug’s lifecycle. In a year when the S&P Index increased by double digits, investors tend to be distracted by sectors with higher returns. The last year was a particularly difficult one for Healthcare, as the sector was the worst performing of the 10 major economic sectors, barely breaking even for the year. The investment professionals cited as TopGuns by the Panel were noted for their ability to identify Healthcare companies which outperform the sector as a whole. Another common theme in the selection of TopGun Investment Minds by the Panel was an individual’s ability to understand the scientific issues behind many of the more engaging stories in the sector.
“When a sector is out of favor, struggling with change and more of the same predicted for the year ahead, it’s tough going on investors. However, Healthcare is an industry of essential relevance over time. Long-term investment decisions and extraordinary insight into new and evolving situations are cited by our Analyst Panel as the qualities most likely to endure and prevail. This year’s TopGun Investment Minds reflect those attributes so say our expert Panelists,” said Brendan Wood, Chairman and CEO of Brendan Wood International.
The U.S. Healthcare group is dominated by the team from Wellington Management, which includes Ann Gallo, Robert Deresiewicz, and Kirk Mayer. Fidelity Investments, T.
