Portfolio Highlights
As a result of the capital raise mentioned below, we believe the portfolio risk decreased in the quarter as the liquidity profile improved and the weighting in key private companies was reduced. In addition, the cash in the Company available for investment is available at an opportunistic time, given current marketing volatility and very attractive valuations in micro and small cap stocks in North America.
At June 30, 2019, the Company had 50% weighting in private investments, a 4% weighting public companies and 46% cash, being the proceeds of the capital raise in the process of being deployed.
In May 2019, one of the Company's holdings completed on its previously announced acquisition. Shareholders of Espial Group Inc (ESP) approved the acquisition of all common shares by Enghouse Systems Ltd for $1.57 per share.
The Company completed a public offering of its Class C participating common shares in April and May 2019. The proceeds of the public offering totaled $15.3 million and make it possible for the Company to invest in new opportunities, primarily in the information technology and telecommunications sectors.
