The shares of medical equipment manufacturers have corrected much more sharply this year than the rest of the market. On average, they are down around 23%.

Tec DAX: Same as last year?

A year ago, there were good reasons not to invest in the TecDAX: A less than business-friendly German and European policy, rising energy prices, and Covid to mention a few. If you were subsequently angered by prices which nevertheless rose quickly and strongly in following months, you can get back in today at similar prices as in early 2021. But, as always, there are good reasons not to do so. Also as always, they may prove wrong.
Which companies have fared particularly well or particularly poorly, who is setting the tone in the index and which stocks we are optimistic about despite the odds?

How did companies fare in 2021 and which ones seem attractive as an investment?
