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

The Board determines and monitors the Trust's investment objective and policy, and considers its future strategic direction: being collectively responsible for the long-term success of the Trust.

They meet formally five times a year, but also meet informally on other occasions, as required. As is appropriate, they have delegated various functions to other parties, the performance of which are regularly reviewed.

The Alternative Investment Fund Manager

SV Health Managers is a specialist healthcare fund manager investing across multiple stages and sectors. SV manages healthcare private equity and venture funds as well as, in the public equities space, International Biotechnology Trust. International Biotechnology Trust benefits from an investment in one of SV’s venture funds, as well as being able to draw on the extensive expertise of SV’s specialist investment team across all four of its focus areas. These focus areas are Biotechnology, Dementia, Healthcare Growth and Medtech.
