RA Capital Management ($850 mil. fund)- loaded up on APHB - recent 13G filing
RA Capital Management, LLC – 26,785,712 shares = 9.9% ownership
Peter Kolchinsky – 26,785,712 shares = 9.9% ownership
RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. – 21,428,575 shares = 7.9% ownership
RA Capital manages approximately $850 mil. The clearly like what they see with Ampliphi. I especially like the fact that Peter K. took a personal (individual) stake as well in Ampliphi with a 9.9% stake.
Peter Kolchinsky graduated from Harvard with a Ph.D. in virology in 2001. After graduation he got $4 Million from Vertex Pharma co-founder Rich Aldrich and started picking biotech stocks at RA Capital. In 2002 he broke even when the S&P 500 index lost 22%. By the end of 2003, the initial $4 Million investment became $13 Million. Boston-based RA Capital invests in companies with promising drugs and technologies.
