Championing an active, independent approach

We’re independent thinkers, united behind an active and rigorous approach, collaborating to identify market risks and opportunities that can give our clients sharper insights and an investment edge.

Firsthand, rigorous research is at the heart of what we do.

We meet regularly with the management teams of the companies we invest in: on-site visits, face-to-face and virtual discussions and attendance at industry and investment conferences. The results: deep relationships that can lead to timely, actionable insights and strong long-term returns for our clients. 

We are in the field and on the lookout. Our embedded experts in 17 markets worldwide access firsthand insights from companies, suppliers and regulators. This means we uncover opportunities that others might miss.

Ziad / Health Sciences

Imagine that your disease is going to kill you in less than a year, but a company develops a way to genetically engineer your own blood and your own immune cells to actually recognize the cancer and attack it. Instead of poisoning the cancer cells with toxic chemicals that wreak havoc on the immune system, you tweak the patient’s blood and let the body’s natural immune defense take care of the rest. After medical school in the UK, I worked as an emergency room doctor. What drew me to capital allocation in health sciences was the potential to help many people for years to come through investments that help fund medical innovation. My team and I often choose to invest at the very early stages of human trials, and sometimes when it’s just a concept. It’s exciting to see innovations shift from concept to reality. The human body is made up of proteins. Any disease caused by too much of a bad protein can be controlled or cured by blocking protein production at the cellular level. It’s a priority of mine to go out into the field so I can see firsthand if this is something real. Making the right investment decision is important not only for our investors but for mankind in general—because today’s treatment, which took years to develop, can have long-term future benefits for generations to come. Investing lets me use everything I’ve learned as a doctor, to help make a positive impact on the world. So that’s why I go beyond the numbers.

Risks: All investments are subject to risks, including the possible loss of principal. Health Science stocks face special risks, including adverse legal or regulatory developments, patent expirations, market competition, and rapidly changing industry dynamics.

Important Information

View the methodology of this analysis (PDF)The performance data shown is past performance and is no guarantee of future results. All investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. Results from other time periods may differ. Active investing may have higher costs than passive investing and may underperform the broad market or passive peers with similar objectives. Passive investing may lag the performance of actively managed peers as holdings are not reallocated based on changes in market conditions or outlooks on specific securities. 

Analysis by T. Rowe Price. Comparable passive funds are (1) mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) classified as an "index fund" in the Morningstar Direct database and (2) in the same Morningstar category as the active funds being analyzed. All Active Managers represents the actively managed (non-"index fund") mutual funds and ETFs in the Morningstar Direct database, excluding those managed by T. Rowe Price. The performance of the T. Rowe Price active funds and the All Active Managers funds were compared against the comparable passive funds using 10-year rolling monthly periods from 1/1/04 to 12/31/23. The analysis was conducted at the Morningstar category level analyzing all open-end funds and ETFs within U.S. Morningstar categories where passive funds are present.
