Imperial Innovations Group (LON:IVO) (IVO 465p/£278.03m)

If you would like to have exposure to venture capital in your portfolio, but are unable to invest directly in a venture capital fund, Imperial Innovations Group (Innovations) may be the solution. Innovations has exclusive access to scientific and technological developments originating from Imperial College London and has accumulated a portfolio of more than 80 companies. Similar to venture capital firms, Innovations is able to invest at a very early stage and at very low valuations. In contrast, Innovations also benefits from having a more flexible and long term time horizon as well as additional income streams such as corporate finance and intellectual property management fees and licence and royalty revenues. Innovations recently announced preliminary results for the year ended 30 July 2010 that showed an increase in net asset value of £5.5m (or 4.4 per cent per share). Portfolio highlights included net realisations of £9.9m including £9.5m gross cash from the sale of Respivert to Centocor, representing a 4.7 times return on a three-year investment. An interesting feature of Innovations' portfolio is the long tail of revenues, even after a realisation. In addition to cash payments, the company will often receive deferred payments and this is not fully reflected in the balance sheet. Innovations' portfolio is focused on opportunities in healthcare, energy, engineering and cleantech. Several portfolio companies have very high potential and Innovations is pleased to observe excellent progress during the year. The ownership percentage in each company is typically high, which should give a "big bang for the buck" if and when successful. The high valuation does not make this a trading stock or a suitable short-term investment, however inclusion in a long-term investment portfolio such as a SIPP could provide excellent and unexpected results.

--> Hi Hyper Al,

Have you invested?
I've had this on my monitor ever since I came across this:-

"Applied Biosystems was granted a licence by Imperial Innovations for technology which was used in the iTRAQ Reagent Kits. The iTRAQ Reagent Kit is the first set of amine-specific, stable isotope reagents that can label all peptides in up to four different biological samples simultaneously. It provides a flexible solution for quantitative biology research."



Good to see a thread created. Perhaps someone will have to time to look into the company more deeply.
