Facts about HealthInvest Value Fund
FOCUS
HealthInvest Value Fund is a Swedish investment
fund which invests in the healthcare industry. The
fund consists of four unit classes, A, B, C and D.
The Fund invests globally, but a significant portion
of the portfolio includes North American companies.
Important sectors include pharmaceuticals, healthcare
equipment and the service sector.
SUBSCRIPTION AND REDEMPTION OF
FUND UNITS
Subscription and redemption of fund units may take
place each banking day through the fund company
or its representative. Subscription takes place via
deposit on the account of the respective unit class,
and redemption takes place by written notice to the
fund company.
FEES
A fixed management fee is charged at a rate of 1% per
year in unit class A, 1.5% per year in unit classes B
and C and 1.2% per year in unit class D.
A performance-based fee is charged at a rate of 20%
on the annual return exceeding the return threshold
of 5% in unit classes A, B and C. In unit class D, the
return threshold is the MSCI World HC Index.
The fund uses what is commonly referred to as a
high watermark. This means that the performance-
based fee is payable only when the investor has been
compensated for any negative return from previous
periods.

4. Semi-Annual Report HealthInvest Value Fund
HealthInvest Value Fund is an actively managed
investment fund focusing on the healthcare industry.
The fund has four unit classes of which A, B and D are
denominated in SEK and unit class C is denominated
in EUR. The fund invests globally, but the focus is
on North American companies since this region has a
strong, global market position. The objective is, while
observing due care, to provide maximum returns on
invested capital over time with a well-balanced risk.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE FUND
During the first six months of the year HealthInvest
Value Fund’s unit classes A, B and D decreased by -6.6
per cent, -6.8 per cent and -6.6 per cent respectively.
Unit class C, which is denominated in EUR, decreased
9.0 per cent. During the same period, MSCI World
Health Care Index, which is the fund’s comparison
index, decreased by -1.3 per cent in SEK and by -3.5
per cent in EUR, including reinvested dividends.
The relatively low return of unit class C is due to the
Swedish currency declining in value relative to the
Euro during the half year.
Healthcare investors’ appetite for risk peaked
during the summer of 2015, after which there has
been a decline in healthcare stocks in general and
stocks with perceived high risk and/or valuations
in particular. This category of stocks includes
biotechnology and specialty pharma where optimism
has decreased as rising drug prices have come into
focus in the political debate in the US. In managing
Value Fund, we have increased the fund’s exposure to
pharmaceuticals by selectively investing in companies
in which the valuations have reached attractive
levels. Pharmaceuticals thus constitute the largest
sub-segment of the fund, although the fund is still
underweight in terms of pharmaceuticals relative its
benchmark index.
During the first six months of 2016, four holdings have
contributed markedly to returns in Value Fund. These
four holdings are the American medical technology
company, Anika Therapeutics, the American
manufacturer of research tools, FEI Company, the
American specialty pharma company, Supernus
Pharmaceuticals, and the Japanese diagnostics
services company, BML. During the period, the fund
has been affected negatively by investments in the
Hong Kong-listed Universal Health International,
the Canadian pharmaceutical companies, Valeant
Pharmaceuticals and Concordia International, the
American health supplements chain, GNC Holdings,
and the Swedish biotechnology company, Medivir.
During the period, the fund acquired significant
positions in the American pharmaceutical
company, Merck, the two American distributors,
AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Health, the Israeli
manufacturer of generic drugs, Taro Pharmaceutical
Industries, and the acquisitive Canadian
pharmaceutical company, Concordia International.
The position in the Swedish biotechnology company,
Medivir, has been increased and smaller positions have
been initiated in several other companies. Holdings
sold during the period include the pharmaceutical
company, Gilead Sciences, the medical technology
company, Varian Medical, the managed care company,
Magellan Health, (all three from US) and the Hong
Kong-listed pharmacy chain, Universal Health
International.
THE FUND AS PER THE END OF THE FIRST
HALF YEAR
As per 30 June 2016, the fund owned shares equal
to 95.5 per cent of the fund assets and fund units
equal to 3.4 per cent. The fund’s gross exposure was
consequently 98.9 per cent.
Geographically, the fund’s investments were
principally located in the US, which represented 66
per cent of the fund assets at the half-year end. Japan
represented 11 per cent, Sweden 6 per cent, Puerto
Rico 5 per cent, Israel 4 per cent and Germany 3 per
cent. An additional 3.4 per cent was invested in the
HealthInvest MicroCap Fund.
Of the share investments, pharmaceuticals
constituted the largest sector with 23 per cent of
the fund assets, followed by biotechnology (16 per
cent), healthcare supplies (11 per cent), healthcare
distributors, healthcare services and managed
healthcare (9 per cent each), life sciences tools and
services (8 per cent), specialty stores (6 per cent),
electronic equipment and instruments (5 per cent)
and healthcare equipment (3 per cent). Household
products and medical IT each constituted less than 1
per cent of the portfolio.
Important holdings in the fund
As per the end of the half-year, the fund had only four
holdings which each exceeded 5 per cent of the fund
assets. Out of those four, one (Anika Therapeutics)
represented over 7 per cent of the fund assets. Set
forth below is a short description of some of the
fund’s most important holdings.
Anika Therapeutics is an American company which
develops and sells products based on hyaluronic acid.
Growth is propelled by Orthovisc and Monovisc,
products which are injected into the knee in order
to treat pain caused by osteoarthritis. In addition
to these growth engines, the company is launching
Cingal (a combination product containing hyaluronic
acid and a steroid) in Europe in 2016. All-in-all, the
company is currently reaping the fruits of many years
of product development and, as a result, the shares
have performed strongly.
Medivir is a Swedish biotechnology company
containing a research division and a commercial
division. Medivir’s share price has declined as sales of
Olysio, the company’s Hepatitis C drug, has tumbled
while the company simultaneously failed to show
clear added value in the rest of the operation. For
most of June, Medivir’s enterprise value (market cap
less net cash) has hovered around SEK 300 million
while, in our view, the profit-generating part of the
HealthInvestValueFund
4
5. 5
HealthInvestValueFund
company, Nordic Brands, is worth at least SEK 500
million and possibly substantially more. In addition,
the future royalty revenues from Olysio constitute a
not inconsiderable asset. Hence, we are of the view
that the underlying value in Medivir is currently
not reflected in the share price. On June 15, the
company announced that it is investigating a possible
corporate split and separate listing of the commercial
operations. This announcement could prove to be a
catalyst for the stock.
GNC Holdings, which was founded as early as 1935,
is an American health food chain with approximately
8,900 business locations, of which 6,500 are in the
US. The company is vertically integrated, developing
and producing its own products, differentiating GNC
from competitors and contributing to a higher opera-
ting margin. The health food industry is characterised
by growth, growing an average of 5.5 per cent over
the last 15 years.
However, because most of its sales take place online,
the challenge facing GNC is the difficulty expanding
in the traditional shops network. The company is try-
ing to keep up with this development by expanding
the product range to also include general health, well-
being and beauty. We believe that the strategy offers
new growth opportunities and believe that the share
is attractive since it is traded at 7 times free cash flow.
AMAG Pharmaceuticals is an American company with
three principal products/areas comprised of the drug,
Makena, which is used to prevent premature labour
(approximately 60% of sales), the drug, Feraheme,
which is used to treat iron deficiency (22%) and CBR,
a bio-bank for stem cells (18%). From having been
a single product company, AMAG has undergone a
significant change over the last 18 months through
the acquisitions of Lumara Health (Makena) and CBR
(bio-bank business). These acquisitions have been
fairly expensive and management has undermined
the confidence of investors, resulting in the share
being presently valued at a very low level. We believe
that the share is undervalued at today’s level at a
valuation of approximately 4 times the forecasted free
cash flow in 2016.
Supernus Pharmaceuticals is an American pharma-
ceutical company which develops and sells products
which affect the central nervous system. In 2013,
the company launched Oxtellar XR and Trokendi
XR which are drugs for the treatment of epilepsy.
The products are growing nearly linearly and drive
the company’s growth in sales and operating profits
which, relative to Q1 2015, grew by 50% and 55%
in Q1 2016. Currently, Supernus is valued at the
relatively high 30 times free cash flow for 2015 which,
however, is largely due to the significant investment
in clinical studies for two drugs for treating ADHD.

(unit class A) was 15.6 per cent measured over the
