First Light Asset Management invests only in health care, from biotech to medical devices and health care services. It mostly looks for less-crowded stocks of micro-cap to mid-cap companies that are often inefficiently priced, and it weights each holding by how strongly its research convinces the team. Its Genesis Strategy invests in publicly traded health care stocks. The firm was formed in September 2013, and Mathew P. Arens, its chief executive and senior portfolio manager, is its principal owner.
