Monument Funds Group, best known for its hot sector fund, the Monument Internet Fund, is expanding its fund family with the launch of the Monument Medical Sciences Fund (CUSIP # 614907103).
"The launch of the Monument Medical Sciences Fund is a logical extension of our expertise in sector/specialty funds and an important component in rounding out our fund family," explains Monument Funds Group president
David A. Kugler. "As Baby Boomers close in on their retirement years, we are facing the prospect of a U.S. population that will soon have its highest concentration in the over-65 demographic. To serve this population, innovative solutions in disease management and effective healthcare will be increasingly important. Launching this fund -- with this focus at this particular point in time -- positions Monument shareholders to take advantage of what is likely be a long period of sustained growth in the medical sciences sector."
The Monument Medical Sciences Fund is a long-term capital appreciation equity fund, which invests only in companies involved in research development, production and distribution of medical products and services. This includes pharmaceutical firms, medical supply design, manufacturing and sales companies, equipment and support services, and companies engaged in medical, diagnostic, biochemical and biotechnological R&D.
"There was a time when biotech was the subject of considerable hype that it just wasn't able to live up to," said Monument Advisors senior vice president and portfolio manager
Alexander C. Cheung, who also manages the Monument Internet fund. "Now, the medical sciences consumer market and its products are finally poised to come together in a very powerful way. For example, the combination of the aging population and the fact that more than 200 drugs are now in the final stages of their 12-year testing process means the time is ripe for investment in these companies."
