PIP announced an unaudited net asset value ("NAV") per share of 452.9p as at 30 April 2023, a decrease of -3.7p (-0.8%) from the NAV per share as at 31 March 2023.

In the month to 30 April 2023, valuation gains* were +2.6p (+0.6%), foreign exchange movements* were -5.9p (-1.3%), share buybacks added 0.2p (+0.0%) and expenses and taxes**** were -0.6p (-0.1%).

PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of PIP's valuation as at 30 April 2023, 11% of reported valuations are dated 30 April 2023, 5% are dated 31 March 2023, 78% are dated 31 December  2022 and 6% are dated 30 September 2022 or older. Of the 11% of valuations dated 30 April 2023, 8.8% reflect the mark to market fair value adjustment for PIP's listed company holdings.

At 30 April 2023, PIP's private equity assets stood at £2,384m, whilst net available cash balances^ were £47m. The Asset Linked Note^^ ("ALN") outstanding as at 30 April 2023 amounted to £31m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £863m as at 30 April 2023, calculated using exchange rates at that date. As at 30 April 2023, PIP maintained a five year £500m multi-tranche, multi-currency revolving credit facility agreement that is due to expire in July 2027. The facility remained undrawn at the month end.

Although the Company made no new commitments during the month, PIP's pipeline points to an active period for new investments in the coming months.

PIP invested £1.2m in share buybacks during the month, acquiring 500,000 shares at a price of 232.5p per share. This price represented a discount of 49.8% to the prevailing NAV per share at the time of the transaction.

*Figures are stated net of movements associated with the ALN share of the reference portfolio. Valuation movement includes the mark to market fair value adjustment of listed company holdings.

** Ratio of net available cash, portfolio value and undrawn loan facility to outstanding commitments. Outstanding commitments relating to funds outside their investment period (>13 years old) were excluded from the calculation as there is a low likelihood of these being drawn. This amounted to £48.0 m as at 30 April 2023.

***Based on the change in the ordinary share price over the period.

****Withholding taxes on investment distributions.

^Net available cash calculated as cash and net current assets / (liabilities) less undistributed net cashflows associated with the ALN.  

^^Unlisted 10-year note issued on 31 October 2017 whose cost and repayments are linked to a reference portfolio consisting of the Company's older vintage funds.
