New Century AIM VCT plc
For the six months to 31st August 2017
Chairman's Statement
In the six months to 31st August 2017, the net asset value (NAV) of your fund increased by 8.33% to 91p. The FSTE AIM Allshare index gained 11.43% over the same period. This index encompasses all sectors and includes many mining, oil and gas companies that have performed well in the year. Your fund is constrained from investing in these types of businesses as part of the VCT rules.
The fund went ex-dividend to the amount of 3.3p per share in August which falls within the accounting period under review. If we add that back to the NAV, the fund increased by 12.26%. The Board realises the importance of income to its shareholders as well as trying to achieve an increase in its NAV, and based on a current mid-market price of 69p for its shares, the fund has a dividend yield of 4.78%.
We made six further VCT qualifying investments in the period, Infrastrata, Anglo African Oil and Gas, Audioboom, Escape Hunt, Modern Water Group and Proxama. Four of these are new investments to the portfolio, whilst the other two, Audioboom and Modern Water are additional investments to our existing holdings.
We top sliced or exited seven qualifying investments and one non-qualifying.
We continue to see potential new qualifying issues, but remain cautious in our approach. The uncertainty regarding the BREXIT negotiations following the General election results may cause increased volatility in the months ahead, but to date the Market has taken it in its stride with the index currently remaining near its highs. The majority of our investee companies continue to trade well which bodes well and gives us some optimism for the remainder of the year.
