Investment thesis

Aescap invests exclusively in publicly listed biotech and life-sciences growth companies, seeking to support medical product innovation while delivering above-average returns. The team invests only when there is strong management, distinctive products and patents, significant growth potential, stock-market undervaluation, and a solid balance sheet. Its approach rests on three pillars: fundamental valuation over speculation, diversification and risk/reward optimisation, and intensive monitoring with ongoing dialogue with company management. Each fund holds roughly 20 high-conviction positions. The funds are Article 8 funds publishing annual ESG reports, and the team has significant personal capital invested alongside investors.
