About BioPharma Credit:

Shares of BioPharma Credit PLC were successfully admitted to trading on the Specialist Fund Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 27 March 2017: one of the largest IPO's in the London market this year with a market capitalisation just under $800m. Gross proceeds included a portfolio of $338.6 million in seed assets, comprised of loans secured by royalties and other cash flows from sales of close to 30 life sciences products.

The company provides investors with an opportunity to gain uncorrelated returns and exposure to the fast-growing life sciences industry, through a diversified portfolio of loans and other instruments backed by royalties or other cash flows derived from sales of approved life sciences products. 

BioPharma Credit's primary objective is to generate predictable income for shareholders over the long term.

Pharmakon Advisors, the fund's Investment Manager, was founded in 2009 and has invested US$1.3 billion in 20 transactions across four funds.  The first three funds are now fully invested. Drawing upon the expertise and successful track record of Pharmakon Advisors, the fund enjoys access to its extensive, life sciences industry-focused knowledge and contacts to source, analyse and structure attractive debt investments.

Through a shared services agreement with Royalty Pharma, founded in 1996, the Investment Manager is able to rely on the complementary expertise of the team behind the market leading investor in pharmaceutical royalties.
