P.S.I.C. Investment Club 正链投资

Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.
-- Henry Ford

Founded in California in January 2013 by a group of PKU alumni and friends, Positive Strand Investment Club (PSIC) ranks No. 1 in Google for independent equity research on biotechnology.

Unlike in-house analysts on Wall Street who sit far away from research and development, our partners hold senior positions across academia, industry and healthcare-related professional fields in the United States. Unlike other amateur investment clubs, our partners not only possess diverse technical expertise, but also are committed to conduct sophisticated research as a group.

We've developed an evolving research framework:

First, we go through clinical stage companies that have major catalyst events coming (NDA filing; PDUFA pending; or CRL received) to select one for detailed study. Second, we survey the indicated disease for market potential and unmet medical needs. Third, we evaluate the candidate drug for its risk and benefit profile, probability of approval and competitive landscape. Finally, we do financial analysis to make investment decision.

After 37 online meetings, we have accomplished 7 analysis projects, identified innovative companies that focus on satisfying unmet medical needs and improving people’s quality of life. Of 7 small companies we studied, 4 were already acquired by big pharma, proving their value. We learned a lot, including FDA regulatory pathway, drug development success rates, and factors that imply approval probabilities.

With our unique platform and efficient framework, PSIC embraces the financial industry trend that shifts equity research towards independent firms. In the future, we will build on our knowledge and experience, and start an investment fund for healthcare sector.

Our mission:

  1. Have fun discussion with fellow partners.
  2. Learn something about healthcare industry.
  3. Maybe making (losing more likely) some money.

The Fund

The Goal of Positive Strand Investment Club is to start a fund. We dream to go through the stages of:

  • by 2017: investment partnership (no-fee)
  • by 2022: partnership fund (0-25/6%)
  • by 2027: trust fund
  • by 2032: And eventually become a Berkshire Hathaway-style investment company of the healthcare sector

This is the sector where Buffett and Munger have left untouched, mostly.
It never hurts to dream a little.
