Aesculape SRI - Better Health
The health sector represents a market globally estimated at $8,500 billion, i.e. around 10% of world GDP, with strong structural growth. The average annual growth rate is around 8%.
The health sector is on the verge of a revolution:
In the face of these major trends, we believe that there are three key drivers:
→ Time gain thanks to molecular diagnosis or the pathogens, highlighted by Covid-19.
→ Identification of biomarkers, especially in oncology.
→ Imaging integrating the use of artificial intelligence and treatment algorithms.
→ Revolution of mRNA through the pandemic can be applied in cancers.
→ Development of antibodies engineering (ADC, bispecific, CART-T) replacing monoclonal antibodies.
→Development of genetic and cellular therapies to restore defficient functionalities.
→ Multiplicity of modalities and the complexity of the process favor outsourcing.
→ Focus on laboratories with strong franchise who are capable to meet public budgets.
The objective is to select international companies actively involved in the health theme
Our approach to managing this fund is to combine structural and stock picking themes

The objective of the fund is to participate in the rise and fall of the global equity markets, with a preponderance of OECD countries, by investing at least 75% of the net assets of the fund in equities of companies whose activities are exposed to health, integrating ESG criteria in the selection and analysis process of the securities in the portfolio The Fund will invest mainly in equities and similar instruments up to a minimum of 75%, through a discretionary Bottom Up management approach favouring the search for intrinsic quality of securities.
The aim of taking ESG criteria into account within the fund is to combine financial performance with the desire to influence issuers positively, as far as possible, in terms of ESG performance, by encouraging companies to make progress in integrating ESG criteria into their activities, thereby enhancing good practice.
The extra-financial approach implemented is part of a sustainability risk mitigation objective, although it cannot guarantee that sustainability risks are completely neutralised.
