Foolish Take
By selling over $3 million worth of Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, it may appear as if Privium Fund Management has turned bearish on the drugmaker. However, a closer inspection reveals this transaction may just be prudent profit taking. Here's why.
Shares of Arrowhead have advanced by 111% year-to-date. Compare that to the benchmark S&P 500 index, which has generated a total return of 18% this year, and the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLV) with a year-to-date total return of 6%.
In short, Arrowhead stock has been on fire. As of this writing, its shares are within a whisper of its 52-week high of $42.39. As a result, Privium's sale of Arrowhead stock is more than likely just portfolio management, rather than a shift in sentiment. Arrowhead remains one of the fund's top holdings, ranking ninth out of 59 total holdings in the fund's $556 million portfolio.
In any event, average investors may want to take a closer look at Arrowhead, whose innovative RNAi therapeutics are clearly helping its stock deliver impressive returns this year.
