What this transaction means for investors
High conviction biotech investing is rarely subtle. When a position climbs above 9% of a portfolio, it signals more than curiosity. It signals belief in platform durability.
Apogee has become the fund’s largest holding, now accounting for roughly 9.15% of reportable assets after the latest 70,000-share addition. That comes as the stock has doubled over the past year, trading near $70. The move aligns with a portfolio already concentrated in immunology names like AMLX, ZURA and Disc Medicine, thereby reinforcing a clear therapeutic theme.
Operationally, Apogee is moving. Interim Phase 1b asthma data for zumilokibart showed durable FeNO suppression through 16 weeks and out to 32 weeks in patients with follow-up, supporting potential dosing of three or six months. In atopic dermatitis, Phase 2 APEX readouts are slated for the first half of 2026, with Phase 3 targeted in the second half and a potential 2029 launch. With $913 million in cash and runway into the second half of 2028, balance sheet risk looks manageable for now.
