Area of Science:

  • Finance
  • Economics
  • Investment Management

Background:

  • Healthcare organizations have recently achieved significant returns from U.S. stock market investments.
  • Many investment managers perceive U.S. markets as consistently profitable and view international markets as excessively risky due to economic uncertainties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the potential benefits of international investing for healthcare organizations.
  • To challenge the prevailing notion that U.S. markets are the sole avenue for high returns and to highlight the risks associated with over-concentration in domestic markets.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative market performance analysis, contrasting U.S. stock market returns (S&P 500) with international markets (Europe, Australia, Far East).
  • Examination of market indicators, such as price/earnings ratios, to assess future profitability trends in the U.S. market.

Main Results:

  • In 1999, European, Australian, and Far Eastern markets surpassed the S&P 500's performance, marking the first instance in five years.
  • Indicators like rising price/earnings ratios suggest a potential decrease in future U.S. stock market profitability.

Conclusions:

  • Investment managers should reconsider and explore international investment opportunities.
  • Diversification into overseas markets is advisable given the shifting global market dynamics and potential U.S. market slowdown.
