Cancer fund raises 207 mln pounds in London float

LONDON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Investment trust BACIT

has raised 207 million pounds ($334 million) from an initial

public share offer, seeing its shares trade higher in their

London stock market debut on Friday.

BACIT, which stands for Battle Against Cancer Investment

Trust, intends to put its money into a range of investments,

including mutual funds, hedge funds, real estate funds and

private equity.

The fund, which will not have any management or performance

fees to pay, also plans to invest up to one percent of its net

asset value each year in cancer research drug development and

medical projects.

Its shares, which were priced at 100 pence each in the

offering, rose to as much 104 pence in their debut on Friday.

Backed by City financiers such as private equity veteran Jon

Moulton, the founder of Alchemy Partners, who sits on the BACIT

board, the fund was advised by J.P. Morgan.
