Helios Capacity Fund - Value of Capacity increases by 28%

Helios is pleased to announce that, following the conclusion of Lloyds Capacity Auctions for 2018, the Weighted Average Prices of the syndicates comprising the Helios Capacity Fund traded in 2018 ("Latest Average Prices") has increased by 28% in comparison to last year.

 
                               Per GBP 
                           of capacity                        Per Share 
   2017                           0.32                             0.89 
   2018                           0.40                             1.13 
 Increase                         0.09                             0.25 
            ==========================  =============================== 
                                   28%                              28% 
 

This increase is calculated by applying the Latest Average Prices to the capacity portfolio of GBP41m as at 1(st) January 2018.

This rise in the value of capacity would increase the Company's Adjusted Net Asset Value as at 31 December 2017 by 24p to 184p (160p as at 31 December 2017).

The value of the syndicate capacity has recovered from the lows in 2017 following the significant catastrophe losses of the year. Premium rates have increased during 2018, with current expectations of further rate rises over the remainder of the year and in 2019, thereby improving the prospects for profitable underwriting.
