Why Venture Capital Should Be Part of Your Portfolio?

Venture capital has consistently delivered strong returns, outperforming many traditional asset classes over the past 5, 10, and 15 years.

Healthcare innovation, particularly in musculoskeletal care, has been one of the top-performing sectors, providing significant upside potential for investors.

Investments in healthcare innovation are largely uncorrelated with traditional markets, helping reduce overall portfolio risk and increase stability.

More groundbreaking healthcare solutions are being developed in the private markets, and institutional investors are significantly increasing their allocations to this rapidly growing sector.

Returns shown are for the U.S. venture capital asset class, not Scalpel Ventures. Venture capital investing involves substantial risk, including risk of loss of all capital invested. Past performance does not guarantee future results. SOURCE: Cambridge Associates Index and Select Benchmark Statistics, Sept 30, 2024
