Here is what the fund said:
“Simulations Plus, Inc. (NASDAQ:SLP) was the strategy’s largest detractor from performance during the quarter. The company develops and produces software that helps pharmaceutical companies achieve efficiencies in the drug discovery process by enabling them, through simulations, to either fine-tune or avoid clinical trials, which are expensive and have a high failure rate. Simulations Plus has a long track record of delivering consistent growth and margin expansion. However, the stock has been down due to concerns about the funding environment for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We reduced our position in Simulations Plus over concerns linked to the company’s recent acquisition strategy, which we will continue to monitor. However, we remain confident in the growth potential of the company’s core business.”
