Edison Releases Insightful Report on The Biotech Growth Trust

On March 18, 2025, Edison Investment Research published a report on The Biotech Growth Trust (BIOG). Managed by seasoned experts Geoff Hsu and Josh Golomb, BIOG benefits from the extensive resources of OrbiMed, a global healthcare specialist. Despite their expertise, the managers face challenges due to a focus on emerging biotech companies. This sector has underperformed in comparison to the S&P 500 during an unprecedented industry downturn.

Hsu and Golomb contend that the industry's current low valuations are not reflective of its potential. They argue for a disconnect between stock prices and the innovation occurring within the industry. Believing in a 'golden era of innovation', characterized by breakthroughs and numerous new product approvals, they foresee improved investor sentiment towards companies with strong clinical data. They argue that BIOG is strategically poised to benefit from these developments.
