Healthcare

Throughout the fiscal year, the QUIC Canadian Healthcare (HC) portfolio substantially outperformed, generating a 36.4% return and outperforming its benchmark by 39.7%. The team’s overweight positioning in Chartwell Retirement Residences (CSH-UN) and Savaria Corporation (SIS) contributed significantly to performance, as senior housing fundamentals continued to improve through occupancy recovery, pricing power, and favourable demographic tailwinds.

The sector is expected to benefit from aging demographics and resilient demand for healthcare services. At the same time, elevated operating costs and ongoing regulatory pressures may continue to challenge portions of the industry. The team remains focused on companies with strong execution, durable cash flows, and the ability to maintain pricing power through changing market conditions.
