India Capital Growth Fund Limited (the 'Company')
30 September 2007
Net Asset Values
The Company announces its net asset values per share as at 30 September 2007:
Net asset value per share - undiluted 130.02p
Net asset value per share - fully diluted 125.02p
Progress Update
Undiluted NAV was up 8.5% during the month helped by buoyant Indian stock
markets, giving a cumulative increase of 39.5% for the year to date.
The BSE Sensex reached an all time high on 28 September 2007 rising 12.9% on the
month (25.4% year to date)on the back of increased FII inflows which were
almost USD 4 billion compared to the outflow of USD 2 billion in the previous
month. As noted previously the ICGF portfolio is highly concentrated and
performance does not necessarily reflect movements in the general indices,
particularly over short periods. NAV also benefited from appreciation of the
Indian rupee (2.7% against Sterling) that followed the cut in interest rates by
US Federal Reserve. The Rupee has risen 7.6% against sterling since 31 December
2006. Inflation, based on the wholesale price index (WPI), declined to 3.23% for
the week ended 15 September 2007, its lowest since December 2002.
The Company has taken advantage of current market levels to book some profits.
At the same time the Company continues to see a good flow of new opportunities
(both listed and unlisted) at attractive prices.
As at 30 September 2007, the Company was 93.8% invested, with 6.2% in cash.
