Navigating Risks: Why Endowments and Foundations Should Reassess Investment Strategies

Sponsored by
Gallagher

Endowments and foundations face a dual mandate: preserving and growing capital over the long term while meeting short-term liquidity needs to fund operations, grants or distributions. This is increasingly challenging in today’s complex investment environment. Most endowments and foundations are meant to last into perpetuity, requiring investment strategies that preserve and grow capital over the long term. This long-term time horizon allows them the opportunity to take on more risk in their asset allocations than other institutional investment portfolios, but they cannot afford to completely ignore market volatility. Striking a balance between the dual mandate may be difficult at times, especially in a volatile environment.

This whitepaper provides a guide for Healthcare CEOs and Boards on balancing liquidity and growth.

 

The rise of direct-to-consumer healthcare: What you need to know.

MD Live by Evernorth

Rising demand for speed, convenience, and personalization has propelled direct-to-consumer (DTC) healthcare from a niche offering to a transformative force. By mirroring the frictionless, digital-first experiences consumers have become accustomed to in other parts of their lives, these solutions bypass traditional healthcare pathways to deliver care directly to patients. Often, they focus on conditions that people may be hesitant to discuss in person, such as weight management, hair loss, or sexual health. 

The US DTC telehealth market, valued at $1.47B in 2023, is projected to grow more than 30% annually through 2030. In addition, today’s patients are more empowered, more engaged, and more likely to expect choice, convenience, and control over their care journeys than ever before. And while an engaged patient base offers clear benefits, this rapidly evolving environment also presents real challenges, such as the rising spread of misinformation, inconsistent care quality, and fragmentation of care that arises when services operate outside of coordinated care networks.

However, this shift also presents an extraordinary opportunity.
