Investment performance
At 31 January 2010 the NAV of the Fund was 95.1p, which compares to 96.1p at 31
October 2009. The performance of the Fund has been relatively stable in the
period under review. There have been no valuation movements in the unquoted
portfolio. The main drivers for the fall in the NAV, alongside the annual
running costs have been the Fund's investments in the Open Ended Investment
Companies (OEICs). These have seen a slight fall in value of 2.5% (Absolute
Return Fund) and 0.7% (UK Smaller Companies Fund) over the 3 months to 31
January 2010. That said, liquid resources remain in a good position at the
period end and the two remaining bonds are both currently trading above par.
The Fund has continued to see a good deal flow over the last three months. 2010
started with a further investment of £500,000 into Calastone Limited, the UK's
only independent transaction service for the mutual fund industry. Just after
this, a previous £201,000 non-qualifying investment in Zoopla Limited became
qualifying.
A full update of all of these investments and any subsequent deals will be
provided in the half-yearly report for 30 April 2010.
The total value of the investment portfolio at 31January 2010 was £14.8 million.
By value, 29.6% of the Company's net assets are in unquoted investments, 3.2% in
AIM-quoted investments and 32.1% in Octopus OEICS, leaving 35.1% currently in
cash or cash equivalents.
