Net Asset Value |

NAV PerformanceThe NAV % Total Return for April 2023 was +0.09%, which takes the NAV % Total Return to +2.45% over the past six months, and +3.98% over the past 12 months. The NAV as at 30th April 2023 was 92.19 pence per Ordinary Share, which was 0.085 pence higher than at 31st March 2023. This overall gain comprised positive interest income net of expenses of 0.253 pence per Ordinary Share and a decrease in portfolio valuations of 0.168 pence per Ordinary Share. Portfolio UpdateAs at 30th April 2023, the Company's invested portfolio had an aggregate valuation of £122 million across 37 investments. The average yield was 9.77%, with a weighted average loan life remaining of circa 2 years. Overall, the portfolio is 96% invested in private market assets and 4% in public bonds. The Investment Manager's focus on creating a portfolio of high yielding and short duration loans that do not hold significant exposure to interest rate movements, ensures the portfolio remains well positioned against any further interest rate increases by global central banks. The net interest income for the period was lower than the target. This was predominantly driven by investment loan #89, a £5m CBILS junior facility secured against 5 operational & performing purpose-built student accommodation properties in the UK. During the period, the lending group moved to a recovery process. Accordingly, the principal outstanding was written down to its CBILS guarantee level of 80p and the associated accrued and unpaid interest was also written down. On an adjusted basis (i.e. excluding the write down), the net interest income for April would have been 0.55 pence per share, in line with target. RM believes the investment loan has now been marked appropriately based on the latest conservative recovery analysis. Finally, as indicated in the March 2023 Factsheet, Singer Capital Markets and Peel Hunt, joint financial advisers and brokers to the Company, will shortly be contacting Shareholders regarding the potential liquidity opportunity consultation.
