This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Biohaven Pharmaceutical Holding Company Ltd. is a biopharmaceutical company whose core business model involves the development of novel therapeutics for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. A fundamental component of this research and development process is preclinical animal testing. As a standard industry practice for drug candidates targeting the central nervous system, such as Biohaven's NMDA receptor antagonists and Kv7 potassium channel activators, these compounds are tested on animals to assess efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety prior to human clinical trials. This reliance on animal models is inherent to its business. The company's pipeline and platform disclosures indicate no commitment to, or adoption of, non-animal testing methodologies as a primary research tool.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
