P+, the Danish pension company, has earmarked DKK 840m for investments in the healthcare sector, which will be managed by GHO Capital (GHO).

"This is the first time we have invested with GHO, and the investment is fully in line with our strategy of maintaining private equity exposure to the healthcare sector," explained P+ head of alternative investments, Michael Dalsgaard.

P+ reported a 'good' investment year in 2024, resulting in high returns for members, crediting market developments throughout the year for positive returns.

The update stated that members in P+ Life Cycle and P+ Sustainable with medium risk and 15 years to retirement ended with a return of 12.6 per cent and 12.4 per cent, respectively.

Meanwhile, GHO Capital's investments aim to develop new opportunities within the healthcare industry, including in European companies looking to enter the US
market, and US companies looking to expand into the European healthcare market.

"Overall, GHO works with investments that can improve efficiency and quality in the healthcare sector by focusing on areas that can provide faster, better and more accessible healthcare, including software and AI-based solutions," continued Dalsgaard.

GHO invests, among other things, in companies with the potential to provide healthcare services globally and thus make advanced healthcare available worldwide.

GHO investments are Article 8 investments, meaning they must promote environmental or social conditions.
