The Quick Take

  • AlphaNorth Partners Fund more than tripled its position in Algernon Pharmaceuticals in December.
  • The fund bolstered its Algernon holding at the average purchase price of $4.61 per share, which indicated a "very compelling" $7.8 million valuation, AlphaNorth noted.
  • AlphaNorth noted that 2022 should be a catalyst-rich year for Algernon, with the:
    • Launch of a clinical trial evaluating the psychedelic compound DMT as a treatment for patients after a stroke.
    • Q2/22 data readout from Algernon's Phase 2 trial of Ifenprodil in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis/chronic cough.
    • Advancement of additional drug candidates into the clinic this year.
  • Algernon is well cashed-up with more than $2 million on the balance sheet.
  • The 2021 return of AlphaNorth Partners Fund was about 22%, above the 7.3% return of the TSX Venture Exchange index.

Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AGN:CSE; AGNPF:OTCQB; AGW:FSE) repurposes and develops existing drugs as treatments for diseases.

This approach saves up to five years of preclinical research and multimillions in research and development costs.

AGN has caught the eye of PennyQueen, an investor and online community builder, who says she is "beyond excited" about the company, which she calls "brilliant."
