Quarterly Commentary
A Global Multi-Manager Healthcare Hedge Fund - equity long/short - 11 Managers
The Fund lost 0.25% during the quarter and had its first negative month in June having generated 20 postive months in a row prior to
June. One manager was sold during the quarter. FMG continues to emphasize emerging managers with a small asset base and are in the
process of adding two new small yet very impressive managers in July.
Biotech stocks lost money during the quarter while pharma made a small gain. Biotech stocks came under further pressure at the end of
the quarter for example oncology (cancer) related drugs fell following the important cancer related conference called America Society of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO) despite exciting news on several clinical developments in cancer treatment. On average, oncology companies’
stock prices were significantly lower after the ASCO meeting despite the fact that, for the most part, the data presented were
overwhelmingly positive. The post-ASCO sell-off was the primary reason biotech underperformed the broader markets in June. By the end
of the month, it was not uncommon for companies lacking upcoming news flow to trade near 52-week lows.
