Healthcare

Throughout this fiscal year, the QUIC Canadian Healthcare (HC) portfolio substantially outperformed, generating a 21.0% return and outperforming its benchmark by 74.3%. Given the limited nature of the Canadian healthcare investable universe, much of the benchmark consists of cannabis companies, which the Healthcare team typically avoids due to highly speculative trading and volatility.

Due to hospitals and the health system more generally enduring supply chain issues, prices of inventory and raw materials may continue to increase. As a result of COVID-19, consumers have had decreased access to non-COVID-19-related medical care, which may result in long-term health impacts that will need to be addressed in the future.
