Fosun Health Group, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharmaceutical , said it plans to build its first overseas hospitals in Indonesia amid a push by Chinese healthcare companies to expand abroad. The announcement underscores Indonesia’s appeal – home to the world’s fourth-largest population of 287 million – as Beijing encourages its healthcare sector to “go global”. Fosun planned to establish “several hospitals” in Indonesia, CEO Frank Hu Hang told delegates at the South China Morning Post’s China Conference: Southeast Asia 2026, in Jakarta on Tuesday. Advertisement “We’ve signed term sheets with local partners, but not yet formally signed any contracts,” Hu told the SCMP. He did not disclose how many hospitals would be built or where they would be located. Fosun was also exploring opportunities to work with local distributors to sell its products in Indonesia, as well as expanding cooperation with local manufacturers, he said.

AlexSecret/E+ via Getty Images Dear Baron Small Cap Fund Shareholder, Performance Baron Small Cap Fund® (the Fund) was down 1.56% in the fourth quarter. For calendar year 2025, the Fund was down 0.66%. The Fund trailed the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the Index) this quarter by 2.78%, as the Index was up 1.22%. In 2025, the Fund trailed the Index by 13.67%, with most of the underperformance occurring in August, September, and October. 2025 was a disappointing year given past performance of the Fund, both on an absolute and relative basis. Although the Fund may underperform in a given year, it has a consistent track record of outperforming over the long term, beating the Index 68% of the time on a rolling 3-year basis, 67% of the time over rolling 5-year periods, and nearly 80% of the time on a 10-year rolling basis. 5 The market was up slightly in the fourth quarter, extending positive trends for the year. Large-cap growth led the market (for the third straight year), with the Magnificent Seven again playing a major role. The market was buoyed by continued monetary easing.... the Federal Reserve (the Fed) cut the Fed Funds rate twice in the quarter.... solid earnings reports, excitement about AI, and an economy that remained resilient even in the face of confusing tariff policies, a government shutdown, and escalating geopolitical tensions. Technology/AI plays were in vogue for the year and most of the fourth quarter, though market leadership did broaden later in the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, our largest sector weightings, Industrials (29% average weight), Information Technology ( IT ) (21%), and Consumer Discretionary (19%) were collectively up on an absolute and relative basis compared to the Index. Within Industrials, Legence Corp. , an engineering, installation, and maintenance services company (profiled in “Top Purchases” in our third quarter letter) benefiting from robust data center activity, was a strong contributor (+40%), along with RBC Bearings...

A big announcement at the end of January sent shockwaves through the health insurance industry. In late January, the Trump Administration announced that it was planning on raising rates paid to Medicare Advantage health plans by less than 1/10 of a percent in 2027. This is a significantly lower increase than health insurance companies anticipated, particularly given that the Administration increased payments by 5.06% in 2026. This announcement was mostly bad news for retirees, although it's a bit of a mixed bag. Here's why. This is why the Trump Administration's announcement is bad news for retirees The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) indicated they'll be raising rates by 0.09%. These are the rates the government pays to private health insurers to provide Medicare Advantage coverage for seniors who opt out of traditional Medicare. Advantage Plans often cover more than traditional Medicare does, typically including options like vision care and hearing care. They generally also require lower coinsurance costs from retirees. Unfortunately, the low proposed increase has caused many insurers to threaten that they will cut services for seniors. Some have even said they may be forced to pull out of offering certain Medicare Advantage plans altogether or raise premiums they charge retirees. None of that is good for seniors. There could be some good news for retirees On the flip side, the Trump Administration's moves could have some benefits, too, as the Administration wants to tighten the reins on Advantage Plans, in part because these plans have been raking in profits -- sometimes with sketchy business behaviors. Some plans have also been engaged in practices designed to pad their bottom lines, including chart reviews that can result in new medical diagnoses being added to patient accounts, even if patients haven't asked their doctors to treat the medical issues. This results in the plans getting paid more, which is potentially a waste of taxpayer money. The...

Britain’s biggest homebuilder Barratt Redrow Plc says it sees reason for optimism in the housing market after a “less volatile mortgage lending environment” boosted sales. The developer sold 7,444 homes in the 26 weeks to Dec. 28, up 4.7% on the same period in 2024, according to a statement Wednesday, slightly ahead of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Barratt benefited from customers deciding to complete deals ahead of Christmas once uncertainty around the UK budget was removed, it said. “We delivered a resilient performance in a subdued market,” Chief Executive Officer David Thomas said in the statement. “However, while progress made on planning reform is encouraging, a stable and supportive demand environment is essential to enable increased delivery at scale across the sector.” Read more: London Housebuilding Collapses 84% in a Decade as Sales Dive Frequent UK tax changes combined with a rise in planning and regulatory hurdles have weighed on the pace of development in recent years. Since Labour took power in 2024, UK building activity has contracted at the sharpest pace since the depths of the pandemic, threatening a key manifesto pledge by the party that it would build 1.5 million homes over the course of the five-year parliament. Rampant speculation about the measures Chancellor Rachel Reeves might use to plug a fiscal black hole were a drag on home sales in the run up to the November budget as buyers and sellers waited for the details of potential tax changes. Still, some UK developers have struck an optimistic tone this year as home loan costs decline and promised planning reforms are set to come into effect.
