if i managed a $5B+ HF (at least based on RAUM, not sure if that includes leverage), i would not be living in baltimore...

Baker Bros, Orbimed and Deerfield really dwarf the others in terms of AUM...
Will make note of this later
How does one’s experience at a HF focused solely on healthcare differ from joining a pod biotech team at citadel?
Is it more or less SM vs. MM?
Do biotech teams have different structures at MM given how inherently risky they are?
Sam Isaly is now at Exome Asset Management
