Chairman's Statement

 

In the six months to 31st August 2016, the net asset value (NAV) of your fund fell 1.1% to 75.75p. The FTSE AIM Allshare Index increased by 13.65% over the same period.

 

The fund went ex-dividend to the amount of 3.2p per share in August which falls within the accounting period under review. If we add that back to the NAV, the fund increased by 3.1%.

 

The period started well, however in June we had the shock result of the BREXIT referendum which caused sharp falls across most indices, with the AIM All Share Index being one. Your fund was not immune to these falls as we reported a NAV of 81.64p as at the end of May 2016, but by the end of June this had fallen to 74.69p. The Markets have since absorbed the outcome of the referendum and have staged encouraging gains and your funds NAV has now recovered to 80.7p as at 20th October 2016.

 

We continue to expect volatility within the smaller companies sector as we await confirmation of the timetable of our withdrawal from the E.U., although we are currently seeing some attractively priced fund raisings starting to appear.

 

We made nine further VCT qualifying investments in the period, YU Group, MaxCyte, Scancell, Medaphor Group, Imaginatik, Cyan Holdings, SysGroup and LoopUp.

 

We top sliced or exited 3 qualifying holdings and 4 non-qualifying.

 

We are cautiously optimistic for the second half of the year.
