Merlin Biomed Group Hedge Funds Merlin Biomed Group Hedge Funds Investment ManagersFinance Merlin BioMed invests globally in public and private healthcare companies. The firm's hedge funds and long-term appreciation fund seek maximum capital appreciation from broad-based, global investment in small-, mid- and large-cap public and private companies in the areas of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, healthcare services and research products/services. This investment objective is characterized by an intensive, research-oriented, fundamental, bottom-up approach with a focus on new product innovation as a driver of sales and earnings growth. For private equity, the MerlinNexus objective is to realize long-term capital appreciation from investments in late-stage private companies, PIPEs (private investments in public entities) and select open market transactions. The fund is invested in all segments of the healthcare industry, with an emphasis on product-driven life sciences companies developing breakthrough products that meet clinical needs and can positively alter disease course and associated costs.
