NAVThe NAV % Total Return for the month was +0.53%, which takes the NAV % Total Return to +1.35% over the past six months, and +7.34% over the past 12 months. The NAV as of 30th April 2022 was 95.04 pence per Ordinary Share, which was 0.50 pence higher than at 31st March 2022. This overall gain comprised interest income net of expenses of +0.54 pence per Ordinary Share and a decrease in portfolio valuations of 0.04 pence per Ordinary Share (which included all credit and currency movements).
Portfolio ActivityAt 30th April 2022, the Company's invested portfolio had an aggregate valuation of £130 million across 33 investments. The average yield was 8.57%, with a weighted average loan life remaining of 2.07 years. Overall, the portfolio is 94% invested in private market assets and 6% in public bonds. The Investment Manager's focus on creating a portfolio of high yielding and short duration loans that do no hold significant exposure to interest rate movements, ensures the portfolio remains well positioned against any further interest rate increases by global central banks. The portfolio has no direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine. The month of April 2022 was relatively quiet in terms of new investments and repayments, with two additional drawdowns under committed facilities (ref. 88 & 76) totalling c.£0.8 million. The Investment Manager continues to structure several pipeline opportunities within RMII's core investment sectors. As previously communicated the coupon on these loans will be linked to Bank of England Base Rate or Sonia, thus extending the portfolio maturity whilst not increasing duration. Company Activity The Good Economy provided its first annual Impact Report for RM Infrastructure Income, which measured RMII's performance against its stated impact objectives relating to UN Sustainable Development Goals. The report made several key findings, including an increase in the average portfolio impact score, industry-leading levels of regional loan distribution, the supporting of c.1,115 jobs through the current loan portfolio, and high transparency levels through RMII's impact reporting. The Good Economy provided several recommendations for RMII to continue its progress and maximise its impact, including to set a target date for 100% of its portfolio to be aligned with its impact objectives. The full set of results, conclusions and recommendations from the report is available https://rm-funds.co.uk/rm-infrastructure-income/investor-relations/ . |
