The Biotech Growth Trust - Industry backdrop remains favourable
The Biotech Growth Trust (BIOG) is managed by Geoff Hsu and Richard Klemm at OrbiMed Capital, one of the leading global healthcare asset managers. The year 2018 proved to be tough for the trust’s performance as biotech companies delivering negative news were heavily penalised, while those delivering good news went unrewarded. However, the managers are optimistic about BIOG’s prospects. They cite a rich industry innovation pipeline that includes a series of technologies with multi-billion-dollar revenue potential; a favourable regulatory environment; and a higher level of deal activity, including major pharma company Bristol-Myers Squibb’s recent bid for Celgene (one of BIOG’s largest holdings) at a significant premium to its pre-bid share price.Biotech Growth Trust is an investment trust company. Co. invests in a range portfolio of shares and related securities in biotechnology companies on a worldwide basis. Co.'s alternative investment fund manager is Frostrow Capital LLP and its portfolio manager is OrbiMed Capital LLC. As of Mar 31 2017, Co. had total investment of £461.4 million.
