Deals, trends and predictions from the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference
J.P. Morgan's annual healthcare conference returned to San Francisco after a two-year virtual hiatus. PitchBook analysts Rebecca Springer and Aaron DeGagne recapped the event, which featured more than 550 presentations from a mix of established public companies and emerging startups.

In our conference recap note, Springer and DeGagne highlight key deals and announcements and provide analysis on several big themes for healthcare investors to watch such as behavioral health, care navigation, genomics and the ongoing primary care chess game.

The note also includes PitchBook's analyst predictions for 2023: behavioral health consolidation will likely heat up as point solutions fall out of favor; an acceleration of partnerships could occur between value-based care enablers and health systems; and the employer self-insured market will increasingly participate in the shift to value-based care.

PitchBook Benchmarks for PE, VC and more
As capital flowed into alternative assets over the last decade, the global private markets surged and fund strategies expanded in kind. But the last 12 months have been a difficult time for markets, and the opaque nature of private capital presents many questions on how funds are performing. Now more than ever, allocators need transparent benchmarks they can trust.

That's where PitchBook Benchmarks come in—providing a detailed snapshot on the latest data for closed-end fund returns across strategies and vintage years. The new edition is now available, updated through Q2 2022 with preliminary data for Q3. It features downloadable XLS tables, data visualizations and PDFs that break down the numbers by strategy and geography.

Tumbling valuations give US equities room to run
(Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
Tightening monetary policy, a weak economy, high inflation and rising interest rates have taken a toll on public company valuations. Analysts say the greatest number of undervalued stocks are in the communications sector, closely followed by real estate and consumer cyclical.

Morningstar's outlook for equity markets details the risks and potential rewards for investors in the year ahead.
