The Billion Dollar Blindspot

Is Women’s Health a Good Investment Opportunity for Private Wealth?

Women’s health accounts for just 6% of private healthcare investment despite representing half the global population, creating a pronounced supply gap. At the same time, women are set to inherit roughly 70% of the $124 trillion wealth transfer projected over the next 25 years, positioning them as both the largest patient cohort and the biggest capital source. Analysts estimate that closing the health gap could add $1 trillion to the global economy annually by 2040 and unlock a $100 billion U.S. market by 2030. The sector’s non‑cyclical demand makes it a diversifying, low‑correlation addition to private‑wealth portfolios.
