The Great Wealth Transfer
Why the largest capital shift in history and the most underfunded market in modern medicine are not two separate stories and what the convergence means for private capital.
For the first time in history, the people with the capital, the lived experience, and the investment sophistication are the same people. That changes everything
Two stories are being told separately in private capital right now. The first is about the Great Wealth Transfer, $124 trillion moving between generations, with women receiving a disproportionate share.
The second is about women’s health, the most persistently underfunded market in modern medicine.
Most people treating these as separate conversations are missing the most important development in both. They are not two stories. They are one convergence.
Three Facts. One Thesis
I
THE CAPITAL SHIFT
$124 trillion is transferring between generations. Women will receive a disproportionate share. The capital decision-makers of the next decade are overwhelmingly female and the investment infrastructure has not caught up.
II
THE FUNDING GAP
Less than 2% of global health research funding is directed at conditions affecting women exclusively. This is not an oversight. It is a structural failure embedded in decades of research design and capital allocation.
III
THE CONVERGENCE
The blindspot and the opportunity are the same thing.
Half the world’s population. One of healthcare’s largest untapped markets.
