“Our preference within Health Care is for novel therapies to address unmet medical needs, specialized providers, and innovators. We have also been confounded by the -13% share price weakness associated with Royalty Pharma plc (NASDAQ:RPRX), which operates as a buyer of drug therapy royalty streams and a funder of innovation for the biopharmaceutical industry. The stock has not been given credit for its differentiated business model and additions to its royalty stream. We decided to sell out of the position and potentially revisit Royalty Pharma in the future.”
