Executive Summary - Q2 2022
NAV decline c.4.5% over the period during a further challenging time for markets
- NAV per share fell 4.5%1,2 in the period. NSCI +AIM ex IC index ("Comparator") fell 12.3% 2,3
- NAV per share growth in the trailing twelve months of 1.4%. Net cash balance averaged 6%. Comparator Index fell 19.0% over the same period
- Portfolio:
- Positive impact from bid talks at Euromoney and strong performance from Curtis Banks, following board change
- Negative impacts from industrial names falling with wider sell-off, and despite robust trading
- Two new investments made in the quarter. Active pipeline of further new investments. We are capital constrained
- Net cash ended the period at 4.4%, slightly lower than typical range. Net cash position and portfolio turnover in Q3 likely to be determined by the outcome of Euromoney bid talks
- We continue to review the portfolio against the risk of inflation and rising interest rates, supply chain disruption and recession risk. Our central thesis is that consumers will bear the brunt of a recession, similar to the 1990s and early 2000s. Sentiment towards equities, especially UK equities, is extremely poor.
