Global Leaders

� The global Health Care sector has become the worst sector performer in 2016 due to fears

surrounding pricing pressures in the US.

� The US remains the most profitable market for Global Pharmaceuticals companies as prices are

typically much higher than in other developed countries. This has led healthcare to become a major

issue in the US presidential election with both Clinton and Trump coming up with their own

proposals.

� The worst outcome for the sector would probably be that Hillary gets elected. But even in that case,

the process of regulating prices should take some time, be done through a direct negotiation with

pharmaceuticals companies and could lead to higher Medicare volumes in exchange for lower prices

and to more funds allocated to R&D.

� The issue is well know by both Pharmaceutical companies and investors and is already priced

in. And there remains a number of positive factors for the sector:

� Low relative valuation,

� High growth prospects with new therapies in developed countries and new markets in emergings,

� High cash piles and an appetite for M&A.

� For these reasons, we want to hold to our pharmaceutical stocks and we add Astrazeneca

and Medtronics (see our August 30 report) to our Global Leaders Portfolios to diversify away

specific risks.

� We also reduce by half the exposure to CVS as the company is exposed to political pressure through

is Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) business (CVS Caremark).

Astrazeneca

� Astrazeneca is a UK based global pharmaceutical company created in 1999 through the

merger of a Swedish and a UK groups.

� Sales have declined since 2011 after the low of a number of patents but thanks to

acquisitions, cost cutting and investment in R&D, the company is entering a new growth

cycle.

� Astrazeneca is the strong challenger in the race for the Immuno-Oncology market, just

behind Merck and Bristol Myers. The British Pharmaceutical company is also well positioned

in Diabetes and Cardio-Vascular diseases.

� Many key data trial are expected in 2017 that could lead to a further rerating of the stock.

� Despite the recent rebound, the stocks still has an attractive 4% dividend yield.
