Nb Private Equity Partners Share Discussion Threads

The monthly NAV estimate does not incorporate any Q2 private valuation information; Q2 valuation information will be incorporated AS RECEIVED in future monthly NAV updates.

and this is why the discount will remain. We just don't know where these non listed entities valuations will fall to in a recession....

Strong progress despite the market:

-- NAV per share of $28.86 (GBP23.76)

-- 2% decrease in the month driven by changes in valuations of quoted
holdings

-- Declaration of 2H dividend of $0.47 per share, in-line with the February
2022 dividend; an annualised yield of 3.3% on NAV and 5.5% on the share
price

-- $11 million of proceeds received during the month and $371 million of
cash and undrawn credit line available

Quilter Plc add c 15pc form nothing- is this correct and if so how significant is this

But I saw a McKinsey chart showing PE was twice as large as listed markets in 2016. I suspect the disparity is even bigger now. Which begs the question: why IPO ever? PE has the money and expertise to help companies expand without the oversight and compliance burden of public marketsAnd I can't help concluding that IPOs are for companies that PE no longer want to back.

I just wrote a tweet thread on this. https://twitter.com/donaldpond6/status/1536971869307514880?s=21&t=LrEopyuE4Mw8eVpYOcFbfA

@donald - OCI is a class apart (ex Time Out!) but some truth to "..Good companies stay private..". Or at least, they list much later, when growth is often behind them.

If multiples compress in the market, they should compress in unlisted holdings!

Perhaps NBPE's get-out is that this only takes unlisted valuations to 31st March - has been a lot of water (blood) under the bridge in the market since then.

But that would mean waiting for the next update..

[skyship] 15/6/2022 06:46

Specto - come on! You know very well that is just how markets work.

A 20% fall in markets doesn't necessarily affect the valuation of sound companies; in the same way that a 20% fall in a REIT doesn't reflect or presage a 20% fall in underlying property valuations!

So, all entirely believable; and the Market is just pricing PE trusts incorrectly in the short term.

ali - it is clearly the share price that is absurd, not the RNS...

[ali47fish] 15/6/2022 06:29

dont know why but i find rns not easy to understand- you dont get a clear message whether is good, bad or indifferent- what is specifically absurd

[spectoacc] 15/6/2022 06:26

"The listed stuff has fallen - let's upgrade the unlisted".

Perhaps unfair, but find it hard to believe the unlisted is doing so much better than the listed - presumably a DCF valuation that changes very little with market conditions?

[kinbasket] 15/6/2022 06:23

Agree it looks absurd and the private valuations add some re-assurance to my concerns.

Not a buyer yet but that's because I'm not a buyer of anything at the moment. Macro looks V.bad.

[skyship] 15/6/2022 06:13

So - May shows an increase in NAV - not the anticipated fall!

NAV = 2345p; but adjust to the current exchange rate and the figure = 2458p. At which level the discount = 46.6%.

This is getting rather absurd.

[skyship] 15/6/2022 06:09

Highlights (at 31 May 2022)

NAV per share of $29.55 (£23.45)

# 2% increase since 30 April 2022, driven largely by updated Q1 2022 private company valuation information
# All private direct equity investments are now valued based on 31 March 2022 valuation information, delivering a 2% uplift in value relative to 31 December 2021 for the private company portfolio
# Year to date, this increase in private company valuations has been offset by a decline in NBPE’s listed portfolio company valuations, resulting in a 5% NAV TR decline year to date
# Total announced portfolio realisations year to date of $120 million
# Well positioned to take advantage of investment opportunities - $368 million of cash and undrawn credit line available

Looking at some of the cyclicals I've followed for years Page Group (formerly Michael Page) and Robert Walters, the market looks in big trouble - barring something left field like Putin being removed. Then again, none of us have a crystal ball.

[skyship] 14/6/2022 12:35

The next NAV statement will certainly be an interesting one as we are on a notional 42% discount and 5.4% yield. With the £ on the floor the discount for Apr'22 return is now more like 44%!!!

[skyship] 14/6/2022 12:28

ali - Could overshoot down to 1288p; but we are within 4% of that level and buying the dip has been a profitable trade, so added today.

I don't see any reason to buy (anything) until the big drop happens - which I think will come soonish.

[ali47fish] 14/6/2022 12:03

many of the comments like kepler, numis et al are very positive and i am thinking this might be a good entry point to add

[essentialinvestor] 14/6/2022 11:05

Second week of March 2022 looked like the beginnings of a new bear market
then we bounced, that pattern repeated in May before another rally.
Now markets have sold off hard again over the last week. Just to clarify I am referring
to wider equity markets not NBPE.

NBPE is well in to its own bear market with a decline now of over 30%.

[ali47fish] 14/6/2022 07:10

what do uyou mean essential

[essentialinvestor] 13/6/2022 17:59

I've thought this twice recently and markets suddenly rebounded, think it's a key couple of weeks ahead though.

[toffeeman] 13/6/2022 14:38

Looks like the start of the big market correction.....
