RE:SoleusThe genesis of the firm is that they were the healthcare team for Paulson and, from what I heard, were the sole bright spot over a number of years and essentially were responsible for the majority of the overall firms positive results. They spun out on their own. The only way to see is to go back and look at some of their larger holders that are part of filings (on Edgar).
I think for our purposes it is also interesting to see if they have identified early themes and taken private stakes that ultimately led to either an IPO of industry sale at nice profits for them. You'd have to also look at filings and companies where they have Board seats. Spots like Whaleinvestor or whatever that site is called can be helpful.
The one we know of from last year is BioAtla which went public. It hasn't done that great since the IPO, but I'm sure they made 10x their money or something like that and likely sold some in the IPO or soon after. The healthcare merchant bank fund CEO I spoke to once about the 4 new investors rated them very highly in knowledge, past success and as an investment partner. He rated Armistice as "short-term traders, not investors" too, and that was bang-on.
