The Investment Management Team
The investment management team has a breadth of experience and knowledge across both public and private investments in the biotechnology and healthcare sectors.
The majority of the Trust's investments made are in public markets and are managed by Ailsa Craig and Marek Poszepczynski. Private or venture capital investments are made via a venture fund, currently SV Fund VI, under the guidance of the SV core Biotech team co-led by Kate Bingham and Houman Ashrafian.
Board of Directors
