At First Light Asset Management, we think it’s an exciting time to invest in health care. With baby boomers approaching peak years of health care expenditures and dynamic innovation creating new markets, the growth in health care spending should continue to meaningfully escalate. First Light was founded with the sole objective of identifying and investing in companies we believe will benefit from this environment. Companies with disruptive and innovative solutions that generally offer a sense of promise for better health care at better costs — companies we anticipate will lead us toward the dawn of a “new day” in health care.
