Abstract

This article analyzes the financial (out-) performance of all listed health care companies. The health care sector outperformed the market in the period from 2000 to June 2015. The performance was driven by companies from Americas, and Asia as well as companies from the pharmaceuticals sub-segment. Additionally, bull periods appear to be the main driver for the outperformance. Euro-based investors can expect different outcomes of their investments to those of USD investors. However, the main trends remain unchanged.
