Q2 2026 13F Filing Overview

The latest round of 13F filings reveals what the top specialist biotech hedge funds did with their portfolios during Q2 2026. Across all 20 tracked funds, we see 89 genuinely new positions initiated, 210 existing positions increased, and 543 complete exits. These filings are reported with a 45-day delay, so they reflect portfolio decisions made during the quarter, not real-time activity. But the pattern of accumulation and liquidation across multiple specialist funds reveals where institutional conviction is building — and where it's evaporating.

New Positions: Where Funds Are Initiating

89 stocks saw genuinely new positions from tracked funds this quarter. The most notable: - [PBLS](/company/pbls) (Parabilis Medicines, Inc.): 7 funds (RA Capital Management, Cormorant Asset Management, Deerfield Management +4), $1.0B total value - [COAG](/company/coag) (Hemab Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.): 6 funds (RA Capital Management, Deep Track Capital, Avoro Capital Advisors +3), $547.4M total value - [KLRA](/company/klra) (Kailera Therapeutics, Inc.): 5 funds (RTW Investments, Deep Track Capital, Eventide Asset Management +2), $280.0M total value - [KARD](/company/kard) (Kardigan, Inc.): 5 funds (Perceptive Advisors, Deep Track Capital, Eventide Asset Management +2), $223.0M total value - [AVLN](/company/avln) (Avalyn Pharma Inc.): 5 funds (Perceptive Advisors, Eventide Asset Management, Deerfield Management +2), $190.8M total value - [ODTX](/company/odtx) (Odyssey Therapeutics, Inc.): 5 funds (OrbiMed Advisors, Deerfield Management, EcoR1 Capital +2), $97.3M total value - [AURA](/company/aura) (Aura Biosciences, Inc.): 4 funds (OrbiMed Advisors, RA Capital Management, EcoR1 Capital +1), $65.1M total value - [DFTX](/company/dftx) (Definium Therapeutics, Inc.): 3 funds (RA Capital Management, Cormorant Asset Management, Rock Springs Capital), $96.1M total value - [SNSE](/company/snse) (Sensei Biotherapeutics, Inc.): 3 funds (Avoro Capital Advisors, Baker Bros.

Positions Increased: Where Conviction Is Growing

How to Use This Data

13F filings are a starting point, not a trading signal. The data is 45+ days old by the time it's public, and prices may have moved significantly since then. The value of 13F analysis is in identifying where informed capital is flowing. When multiple specialist funds build positions in the same stock, it suggests a thesis that independent analysts arrived at separately. That convergence signal is the most powerful insight from 13F data.
