HealthCare Royalty Partners Raises $1.8 Billion
9.1.2020 16:02:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
HealthCare Royalty Partners (“HCR” or the “Firm”), a global healthcare investment firm with $5.5 billion of cumulative capital commitments, today announced the closing on $1.83 billion for HealthCare Royalty Partners IV, L.P. (“Fund IV”) and affiliated entities. Since 2003, HCR’s senior professionals have invested over $3.0 billion in commercial or near-commercial stage biopharmaceutical products through the purchase of royalties, revenue interests and credit instruments. Fund IV, like HCR’s predecessor funds, will seek to continue to provide investors with returns that are non-correlated to the broader equity or credit markets.
“Increasing investor demand for non-correlated, yielding assets aligns well with HCR’s strategy, as evidenced by the capital committed to Fund IV. HCR’s regional sourcing strategy and deep bench of in-house scientists have generated strong results for HCR’s predecessor fund, which we believe will continue for Fund IV,” commented Clarke B. Futch, Managing Partner and Chairman of the Investment Committee at HCR. He continued, “the persistent capital needs of biopharmaceutical companies to develop and launch products, coupled with record innovation in the biopharmaceutical sector, has made the current environment quite attractive for HCR. We are grateful for the support of Fund IV’s investors and excited about the opportunity ahead.”
HCR welcomed many of its existing investors back into Fund IV as well as new investors representing several of the world’s leading pensions, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions, foundations and family offices. The strong support from investors in the U.S., U.K., Europe, Australia, Middle East and Africa, demonstrates the growing acceptance of pharmaceutical royalties as a supplement to traditional fixed income / credit / absolute return portfolios.
Fund IV will continue HCR’s strategy of acquiring royalties and revenue interests generated from commercial biopharmaceutical products and providing debt financing collateralized primarily by commercial-stage assets. HCR’s typical investments range from $20 million to $200 million, with sourcing of such opportunities occurring from the Firm’s offices in Stamford (CT), San Francisco, Boston and London. Factors such as the aging of the global population, continued in-licensing of products by larger biopharmaceutical firms and the proliferation of smaller biopharmaceutical firms developing their own products represent secular tailwinds for HCR’s investment strategy going forward.
HCR is also pleased to announce the promotion of the following four individuals to Managing Director: Carlos Almodóvar, Head of Investor Relations; Dr. Shin Kang, Head of Research; Andrew Reardon, Chief Legal Officer; and Spencer Schneider, Chief Compliance Officer and Intellectual Property Counsel. “HCR’s new Managing Directors have meaningfully contributed to the Firm’s long-term success. Their promotions are well-deserved, and we look forward to their continued leadership as HCR invests Fund IV,” commented Mr. Futch.

The Only AI Crypto Lead Prioritization Solution Built With Law Enforcement, for Law Enforcement: Elliptic Launches Pulse24.9.2026 16:15:00 EEST | Press release
Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk, today launched Pulse. Pulse puts crypto lead prioritization directly in the hands of every frontline law enforcement and government officer. Crypto now touches every part of law enforcement, from the patrol officer on the street to the detective assigned to investigate the case. Pulse gives each of them a quick, accurate financial summary and a starting point: whether that's a crypto address on a suspect's phone, in a scam ATM victim's receipt, uncovered during a vehicle or pocket search, or found at the scene of an overdose, an arrest, or a seizure. An officer can input anything that looks like a wallet address or transaction hash. Pulse identifies it, reasons over the result, and returns a summary in plain language, enough for the officer to decide on the spot whether the case needs escalation. If a case needs further investigation, one click sends the full analysis forward, not just the evidence. The criminal investigations division gets
SymphonyAI Introduces Symphony Risk Intelligence, an Agent-native Platform That Unlocks Always-on Compliance™ — the Catalyst for Transforming the Financial Crime Operating Model24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI today introduced Symphony Risk Intelligence (SRI), an enterprise-grade, agent-native platform built to unlock Always-on Compliance™. This is a critical shift from periodic to continuous risk and compliance management, in which institutions continuously reassess risk and adapt controls as regulations, threats and business activity change, rather than waiting for the next scheduled review. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260924914614/en/ Current approaches have reached their structural limits. The FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, released recently by SymphonyAI and AML Intelligence, finds just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, and 76.3% still review alerts manually or with only partial automation — barely changed year over year. Yet standing still isn't an option: the regulatory climate is at a major inflection point across ev
Just 4.7% of Financial Institutions Continuously Update Their Compliance Monitoring and Controls as Risk Changes, New Research Finds24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI, a global leader in vertical AI product platforms, and AML Intelligence, the leading source of news and insight for the financial crime compliance community, today released the FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, finding that most financial institutions still rely on periodic review cycles to manage financial crime risk, even as the threats and regulations they are meant to track continue to evolve dynamically. Based on the perspectives of more than 200 financial crime and compliance leaders, including senior leaders from major global financial institutions, the research finds that just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, while 56.8% have not adopted always-on compliance monitoring at all, are only exploring it, or remain at an early, pilot-stage level. The finding points to a structural gap: financial crime typologies, payment ecosystems and regulatory expectations are evolving continuously, while most c

Altasciences Supports 4B Healthcare in Advancing Steroid Nasal Irrigation Rinse to Clinical Trials24.9.2026 15:40:00 EEST | Press release
Altasciences is proud to announce that recent formulation work supporting 4B Healthcare Inc. (“4B”) has helped advance its RhineX nasal irrigation rinse therapy into clinical investigation. Following several months of formulation development, R&D manufacturing, stability testing, and quality assurance support at Altasciences’ CDMO facility in Harleysville, PA, the Tennessee-based pharmaceutical company has received FDA clearance to proceed with clinical testing of RhineX under its IND. First subject dosing is planned for October 2026, approximately seven months after formulation development began.
