"RTW Biotech generated a strong 7.8% MTD return in July 2025, buoyed by notable M&A exits and rumors, despite temporary US political and drug-pricing headwinds."
RTW Biotech Opportunities Ltd reported a robust 7.8% MTD NAV return for July 2025. Performance was substantially driven by M&A tailwinds, including the acquisition of Verona Pharma by Merck (which RTW exited, contributing 0.9% to NAV) and rumored acquisition interest in top position Avidity Biosciences by Novartis. In clinical developments, Kailera announced positive Phase 3 results for its obesity asset KAI-9531. While political drug-pricing rhetoric in the US continues to act as a sentiment drag on domestic listings, international biotech valuations surged, and RTW expects US names to catch up as political uncertainty subsides.
