Investment management team update
The Board of BB Healthcare Trust plc (the "Trust" or "BB Healthcare") today announces an update to the Trust's investment management team at Bellevue Asset Management AG ("Bellevue"). Bellevue has informed the Board that Dr Daniel Koller will step back from his role within the Trust's investment management team to focus on BB Biotech AG ("BB Biotech").
BB Healthcare will continue to be advised by its Investment Advisory Team of Paul Major and Brett Darke based in London. It was always expected that Dr Koller would step back as the Trust evolved, and Bellevue has confirmed that it will continue to provide in depth support to the Trust and fulfil its obligations under the delegated portfolio management agreement. BB Biotech and BB Healthcare Trust will continue to co-operate closely with their in-depth bottom-up stock selection and analytical processes.
Justin Stebbing, Chairman, commented: "The Board would like to thank Daniel for his support of Paul and Brett during the early years of this project, and we wish him continued success in the future. BB Healthcare's Investment Team has delivered strong results for investors in these early years and the Board has every confidence that they will continue to deliver moving forward."
