About
Ally Bridge Group (ABG) is a Hong Kong based healthcare investment group that invests across venture capital, growth equity/buyout and hedge fund strategies. Aside from our HK headquarters, we have investment teams in Washington, Boston, New York and Los Angeles.
In our venture strategy, Ally Bridge focuses primarily on US based companies at later stages of development of innovative drugs and (to a lesser extent) medical devices. We like opportunities with near-term exits or liquidity events.
In our growth equity/private equity/buyout strategy, we look for US, European and China-based healthcare companies. These companies must have a strong presence or potential both within China and globally. We have unique strengths in global cross-border healthcare investing, deal-making, execution, and enabling of cross-border business development & partnerships.
In our hedge fund strategy we employ fundamental and bottom-up research-driven, with a proactive value-add approach to invest in public equities in both Asia and the US.
