SHANGHAI, China, Nov. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hywin Holdings Ltd.

In the post-pandemic era, high-net-worth (HNW) individuals or families are caring more about healthcare, and willing to devote more time and resources to the pursuit of a healthy and balanced life.

The wealthy not only search for healthcare providers who can truly listen and understand their health needs, but also, as investors, they tend to participate actively in the booming healthcare space, which is a mega theme expected to deliver strong returns across public and private markets.

Key Findings of the Global Healthcare Trends Report:

  8. Biotech, pharma services, home health and life sciences are among the top investment choices for wealthy individuals and family offices.
  9. Some investors are keen to capture the next healthcare unicorn, whilst others are happy to participate in all sub-sectors of healthcare with a portfolio approach.
