The Dramatic Rise in the Stock Market Over the Last 10 Years Has Caused Institutional Investors Like Pension Funds to Re-balance to Private Equity
By Eric Bricker MD
A Typical Pension Fund Portfolio Will Be 51% Bonds, 28% Equities, 6% Real Estate, 5% Private Equity, 4% Other and 6% Cash. As a Result of Rebalancing Money Out of Skyrocketing Equities, Private Equity Funding Has Doubled to Over $1.2 Trillion in the Last 10 Years.
Specifically in Healthcare, Private Equity Investment in Providers (i.e. Physician Groups, Surgery Centers, Imaging Centers, etc.) Doubled to $30 Billion in Just ONE YEAR. The Private Equity Investment on the Payor Side of Healthcare PALES in Comparison at Only $1 Billion. The Majority of These Private Equity Investments Plan on Making Money By INCREASING Healthcare Costs in a Fee-for-Service Payment Environment.
Healthcare Costs Don’t Rise By Accident. They Rise Because Specific People Make Specific Plans to Increase Costs to Earn a Return on Their Investment.
