Aescap Genetics
In January 2022, six years after the launch of Aescap Life Sciences, our second fund called Aescap Genetics was launched. The Genetics Fund invests exclusively in the fast-growing market of RNA, gene and cell therapy medicines. The advantage of Genetics medicines is their ability to treat diseases at their root cause. They are able to treat diseases better and can also treat diseases for which no medicines are available today.
The Aescap Genetics Fund offers investors the opportunity to invest in carefully selected innovative genetics companies. An investment in the fund not only enables you to make a good financial return, but also enables the development of (better) drugs for diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer’s, COPD, diabetes, cancer, Parkinson’s and many others. Around 125 public companies have so far launched 50 Genetics medicines and almost 900 others are being tested in humans. These numbers are growing rapidly.
