A continuation vote! That is a surprise. Has HVPE, long the laggard, gone zipping past the others on the outside? If it demands closure (July 2026), then how much of a loss on the portfolio to close it down? What are the alternatives to closure?

This wasn't leaked at all was it? Wondering why the share price has been going up over the last month and other Private Equity funds haven't The FSA can't be bothered to look at this, but it's so biased against private investors

HVPE shares are not currently available to buy via HL (same issue with HICL). Something related to new FCA guidance re IT costs/charges/Mifid 2 etc. I heard back from HVPE IR today they are liaising with HL to resolve it so hopefully will be available to buy again soon.

Investment company activist Metage Capital has demanded HarbourVest Global Private Equity (HVPE) introduce quarterly tenders or wind-up the £3.4bn ($4.3bn) portfolio to rectify the chronically wide discount on its shares.

In an open letter to shareholders, Metage chief investment officer Tom Sharp said the capital allocation policy announced by HVPE’s chair Ed Warner in February had clearly failed with the shares standing 45% below net asset value at the end of October.

Update view of future in the latest half year results



"Steady improvement in exit numbers, driven by M&A, with an increase of 37% compared to the six months to 31 July 2023, and realised at an average 29% premium to carrying value"


"Signs of steadily improving investor confidence, in spite of ongoing macro and geopolitical challenges

Investment environment increasingly supporting a more active phase in the private markets cycle

Exits expected to continue improving, supporting cash realisations and HVPE's Distribution Pool, to the benefit of shareholders."


"We view the future for HVPE with confidence and believe that the current share price in no way reflects the performance by the Company over many years and the opportunities in private markets that we foresee ahead."

I held HVPE about 8 years ago and was impressed by Harborvest when they managed £50m for a pension fund I was involved in the last decade but they have been out of sight out of mind for me till I read today the following in Citywire.
Will contain nothing new for many of you but interesting for some of you will be a good synopsis.
quote
HarbourVest Global Private Equity (HVPE) hopes to finally narrow its wide share price discount after it announced plans to return more capital to shareholders and move to a fully independent board.
In response to shareholder feedback, including from wealth manager Quilter Cheviot, which began red-carding weak boards last September, the global private equity investor will establish a ‘distribution pool’ funded by profits on disposals that will be used for share buybacks and special dividends.
The board and manager have agreed that 15% of cash realisations will go to the pool, which launches immediately, helped by a decision to place on hold a ‘specific̵7; investment commitment that releases a ‘material cash sum’.
The company has languished on a discount of about 40% since 2022, giving the £3.1bn portfolio of funds and direct company stakes a market value of £1.8bn.
A £25m buyback plan launched last May did nothing to move the dial. HVPE has purchased £45m worth of shares since September 2022 but expects the returns from the pool to be ‘materially greater’. As an indication, it said total annual cash proceeds received from disposals averaged $568m (£448.9m) over the last three calendar years.
HVPE said that in deciding the timing, amount and nature of distributions, it would take into account the macroeconomic environment, the discount, market sentiment and ‘relative merits of distributing capital against the potential benefit of committing to new investment opportunities’.
Ed Warner, chair of HVPE, said he had ‘engaged actively’ with shareholders in coming up with the proposals, and that the ‘new, more flexible policy, including the potential to pay dividends for the first time since HVPE was created, will make a significant difference to shareholders’.
‘It will help ensure they benefit more directly from the strong value growth delivered by HVPE’s high-quality portfolio, which has consistently outperformed public market benchmarks over the long term,’ he said.
HVPE has delivered total underlying returns of 121% and 349% over five years and 10 years respectively, compared with the MSCI World, which rose 77% and 210%. However, investors haven’t reaped all the benefit as the shares have returned 62% and 254% over the same periods.
Activity from the private equity sector has picked up in recent months after Pantheon International (PIN) was applauded by analysts for its ‘bold’ £200m buyback plan, with the board called ‘a leader’ in the space. Earlier this month, Abrdn Private Equity (APEO) said it was planning to use proceeds from selling its stake in Dutch discount retailer Action to start a buyback programme.
Board independence
The investment company also improved its governance structure following feedback from shareholders, including wealth manager Quilter Cheviot, who holds 4.6% of shares.
Carolina Espinal, a managing director at HVPE, will not stand for re-election as a non-executive director at the annual general meeting in July. As a result, the board will be fully independent of its investment manager.
However, Espinal and Richard Hickman, another managing director at HVPE, will be non-voting participants of the board and join the investment committee alongside managing director John Toomey and chief investment officer Greg Steno.
‘Board independence is an increasingly important area of focus for investors and I am confident HVPE will be viewed as having adopted best practice in this regard,’ said Warner.
In September, the wealth management firm said it was opposed to employees of a trust’s fund manager sitting on the board as a non-independent as it set out its wider expectations for boards of the sector.
Gemma Woodward, head of responsible investment at Quilter Cheviot, said she had engaged with the private equity company on independence and was ‘really pleased to see HVPE’s board take the move to become fully independent’.
‘It is good to see the power proactive engagement can have to help get boards acting in the interests of shareholders,’ said Woodward. ‘This sets a strong example to other trusts within the sector, which continue to have manager representation on the board.’
Quilter Cheviot’s sister company Quilter Investors also has a stake in HVPE with 2.5% of shares.
Other large shareholders include M&G with 7.5%, Evelyn Partners and Lothian pension fund with 5.6% apiece, and Schroders with 5%.

SKYSHIP.

Might an even bigger discount attract investors to a fabulous bargain price? I like dividends but not token ones. We’ve argued buybacks to death but whatever the plus and minus points there’s no guarantee that other than temporarily they will see the NAV discount narrow.

e.g SREI (I hold) buybacks don’t seem to have helped with the crazy SREI current 32% discount and it was even wider last week.

Does HVPE performance really justify your view that “There is no buffer as there is no return.” HVPE performance isn’t bad:-



That’s similar to the sector average except over 10 years where at UP 345% it lags sector average of Up 455%.

Have just seen that HVPE share price is up 75p/3.7% so far today. Like others HVPE looks very oversold.
