Equity Bottom-Up

BeiGene has outlicensed ex-China rights to its PD-1 tislelizumab to Novartis on favorable terms, validating the competitive position of this compound in a crowded market. Further, the agreement marks a growing trend of Chinese companies outlicensing products to multinationals, which can have a leveraged benefit on their P&amp;Ls and valuations.

BeiGene: Novartis Grabs Tislelizumab Rights

We spend a substantial portion of our time thinking about oncology in China: one of the largest unmet needs in healthcare globally. The World Health Organization estimates that there are 4.3 million new cases and 2.9 million deaths annually. Historically, treatment options have been limited compared to the US, EU, and many of China’s neighbors. Fortunately, the government has implemented several reforms in recent years to accelerate development and importation of innovative treatments and to provide reimbursement for them. This Insight includes names to consider for two approaches to invest in this opportunity:1) Invest in the leading multi-asset oncology companies.2) Invest in a basket of companies with narrower oncology offerings.
