Sectoral Asset Management

Montreal, Quebec, Canada · Geneva, Switzerland · Hong Kong

Sectoral Asset Management Inc. is an employee-owned Canadian healthcare investment manager founded in Montreal in October 2000 by Jérôme Pfund and Michael Sjöström, with offices in Montreal, Geneva and Hong Kong. SEC adviser CRD110345 identifies the legal Canadian manager; the Geneva office is a branch of the Montreal company, rather than an unrelated Swiss venture firm. Sectoral manages public healthcare and biotechnology equity strategies as well as private investments through the New Emerging Medical Opportunities (NEMO) late-stage venture funds and Fonds Medtech Ventures (FMV) for early-stage Canadian medical technology. Its neuroscience and deep-technology portfolio includes Route 92 Medical’s stroke-intervention devices, Noctrix Health’s wearable neuromodulation and Phagenesis’ neurostimulation treatment for neurogenic dysphagia. Current published team and separately qualified industry/advisory affiliates are linked with authentic source portraits; memorial entries are not represented as current employees. NEMO V reached a final close above USD150M in September 2022, NEMO IV closed at USD96M, and NEMO VI had a USD100M first close on February 2, 2026; a USD200M objective is a target, not a final close. Public strategy composites, certificates, client assets and AUM are distinct from closed venture-fund capital. Sectoral is a verified participant in Route 92 Medical’s actual USD50M growth financing announced April 7, 2026, with the company owner maintaining the single existing round. FMV had a minimum CAD41.5 million first close announced May 30, 2023, with capital intended for early-stage Canadian medtech. Its first-close minimum is not represented as a verified exact final fundraising total.
