Posted at 07/11/2023 15:14 by speedsgh Annual Financial Report - from CHAIR'S STATEMENT... OUTLOOK It has been a volatile year for all investors as markets have swung from facing the reality of global inflation and the threat of recession to the belief that the interest rate cycle may be nearing a peak and the worst may be over. At the time of writing, the devastating news of a resurgence of the conflict in the Middle East has shaken market confidence. The continuing war in Ukraine and the increasingly tense relations between the US and China have further exacerbated the uncertainty within the investment environment. Nevertheless, the Board shares the Investment Managers' views that there are grounds for optimism. Whilst higher costs of capital have had a substantial effect on the funding environment for early stage drug discovery companies, the fundamentals of the sector remain very much intact: namely a growing elderly population, a rising middle class, and an increasing demand for treatments to cure disease and enhance the quality of our lives. This spend is, to a large degree, non-discretionary. Furthermore, scientific innovation in areas such as personalised targeted therapies and the application of artificial intelligence has led to faster, positive outcomes from clinical trials and better prospects for patients. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Directors, the investment management team, and our professional advisers, all of whom have worked hard this year to ensure that we achieved the optimum outcome for our shareholders. We are excited about the opportunities for IBT within the Schroders stable and are looking forward to the future with confidence. -------------------- from FUND MANAGER'S REVIEW... OUTLOOK After experiencing remarkable highs in 2020 and 2021, the biotech industry faced significant challenges in recent years. However, there are compelling reasons for optimism as we move forward. The NBI has demonstrated resilience by rebounding 20% from mid-2022 lows in dollar terms. Smaller biotech companies, though affected by rising interest rates, continue to present appealing valuations, offering unique investment opportunities. The confluence of rising interest rates and macroeconomic conditions, along with evolving industry dynamics related to the FTC and the Inflation Reduction Act, has created headwinds for the biotech sector. However, it is noteworthy that these challenges have had minimal impact on the valuations of innovative small and mid-cap biotech companies which represented 51% of the Company's NAV at the end of August 2023. The recent period of valuation adjustments has stimulated increased M&A activity within the industry. We anticipate this trend to persist. Biotechnology continues to display robust innovation, boasting strong numbers of drug approvals and increasing numbers of clinical trials. Notably, emerging modalities such as gene and cell therapies hold transformative potential for addressing significant unmet medical needs across various diseases. In conclusion, the biotech industry stands resilient and forward-looking. Increasing demand for high quality therapies, M&A activities, productivity improvements through consolidation, sustained innovation, and the allure of undervalued companies in this dynamic landscape contribute to a promising outlook for biotech investments. As we navigate these opportunities, our commitment to delivering value to our investors remains steadfast. We look forward to a future marked by growth and transformation in the biotech sector. |
Posted at 03/8/2023 13:02 by speedsgh Appointment of New Fund Manager - · Schroders selected as IBT's Fund Manager and Alternative Investment Fund Manager · Continuity of investment approach and dividend policy · Ailsa Craig and Marek Poszepczynski to continue as the Company's portfolio managers The Board of IBT is pleased to announce that it has decided to appoint Schroder Unit Trusts Ltd ("Schroders") as the Company's Fund Manager and Alternative Investment Fund Manager ("AIFM") with a mandate to continue IBT's investment policy, which offers access to the fast-growing biotechnology sector through an actively managed, diversified strategy. This appointment is consistent with the feedback received from shareholders, which endorsed the continuity of the Company's investment approach under the existing investment management team and retaining the dividend policy. As such, the Board believes that Schroders' appointment will deliver positive long-term benefits for IBT and its shareholders. Ailsa Craig and Marek Poszepczynski have accepted Schroders' conditional offer for them to continue as the Company's portfolio managers. Ailsa and Marek took on the position of IBT's Joint Lead Managers in March 2021, having been involved in managing IBT since 2006 and 2013 respectively. The Company's net asset value ("NAV") has outperformed its benchmark, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index, by 6.7% since March 2021 and by 9.0% and 35.5% respectively over the last five and ten years(1). Schroders will provide a platform from which IBT can continue to deliver its differentiated proposition of solid relative returns with lower volatility, and an annual dividend of 4% of NAV(2). There are also no plans to change the Company's discount and premium management policy. These appointments are subject to finalisation of legal documentation and to regulatory approval, and IBT is expected to transition formally to Schroders in November 2023, following publication of the Company's annual results to 31 August 2023. IBT will continue to have a relationship with SV Health Managers LLP ("SV Health Investors") in connection with the existing unquoted portfolio, which is principally invested in two SV Health Investors funds. The Company has consulted with a number of its major shareholders who have indicated their support for the Board's process. In accordance with the Company's articles of association, which provide for a continuation vote every two years, a continuation resolution will be proposed at the Company's December 2023 Annual General Meeting. |

Posted at 16/12/2022 10:25 by speedsgh International Biotech shares rally on strong dealflow - Shares in International Biotechnology Trust (IBT) have rallied more than 3% after a flurry of good news this week, including Amgen’s acquisition of its largest position Horizon Therapeutics. The US pharma giant agreed to acquire the biotech stock, which focuses on developing drugs for rare autoimmune diseases, for $116.5 per share on Monday, a nearly 50% premium to the share price when talks began last month. Given its 13.5% weighting in International Biotechnology’ The £283m trust also announced a material revaluation to one of its unquoted investments managed by parent company SV Health Managers, which will lead to a £2.5m, or 0.8%, uplift to NAV. It is unclear which company it refers to, but on Tuesday SV Health Managers issued a press release stating that Japanese pharma company Takeda had agreed to acquire Nimbus Therapeutics’ allosteric TYK2 inhibitor, which addresses multiple immune-mediated diseases. Nimbus will receive $4bn upfront cash and up to $2bn in commercial milestone payments, it said. Following the investment company’s annual results in November, manager Ailsa Craig told Citywire that the US Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed in August this year, will likely increase the levels of mergers and acquisitions. ‘The positive for our sector and our companies is: will that increase the demand for M&A? I think maybe it could. It looks like the biotech market sector shrugged it off but it’s probably all these market forces balancing each other out,’ she said. Since close on Friday, IBT’s shares have rallied 3.3% to 713p. Over five years, shareholders have enjoyed a 42.2% total return, ahead of the 25.9% average in the Biotechnology & Healthcare peer group tracked by the Association of Investment Companies. |
