Investing in transformative biotech companies

Humanity will always depend on medicines. Continuous innovation in the biotech sector is a given. Bringing better medicines to the market all the time. Aescap is able to select those companies that are developing tomorrow’s medicines. Thereby it can achieve excellent returns over the medium term, without taking large risks.

The Aescap funds invest in highly innovative publicly traded biotech/life sciences companies. The funds are supervised by an AIFM and managed by an experienced investment team with an excellent track record. The members of the investment team significally invest in the funds themselves.  Aescap is heavily involved with the companies it invests in, acting as a private equity investor on the stock market. The name Aescap is derived from ‘Aesculapius’, the Roman god of Medicine, and ‘Capital’.

Sustainability

The companies in the portfolios of the Aescap biotech funds address medical needs that are not met by products available today. We believe everybody has the right to receive the best medical care available. Aescap’s investments have positively affected society and have already resulted in an improvement of the quality of life of millions of people worldwide.

Both Aescap Funds are classified as article 8 fund, according to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).
