Our Funds
OrbiMed invests across the global healthcare industry, from seed-stage venture capital to large publicly-traded corporations. Investments are made in one of four distinct strategies: private equity funds, hedge funds, royalty funds and mutual funds.
Hedge Funds
OrbiMed's hedge fund strategy was initiated in 1993 to invest both long and short in the global healthcare sector. These funds employ an event-driven, fundamental research approach that seeks to identify mispriced securities with a pending catalyst for value realization. These funds invest worldwide, seeking the broadest possible opportunity set and reduced volatility through global diversification.
Public Funds
OrbiMed's public mutual fund business was launched in 1989 to invest worldwide in healthcare companies. Funds under management include the Eaton Vance Worldwide Health Sciences Fund, the Worldwide Healthcare Trust PLC, and the Biotechnology Growth Trust PLC.
Private Equity Funds
North America and Europe: OrbiMed has been an active investor in healthcare private equity since 1993. Our private equity strategy is opportunistic and balanced, with investments across all stages of development. OrbiMed is usually the lead investor in its portfolio companies and seeks an active role in creating value at our portfolio companies.
Asia: OrbiMed's Asia private equity fund is focused on opportunities in China and India across all sectors of healthcare, including healthcare services.
