Orange - you're correct

Whoops - must have had a senior moment!

[praipus] 13/2/2015 11:37

The curious thing is that these guys have circa 500 underlying investments IPO who are flying at preent have less than 100 and ALM have 5!...lol

PEQ hands cash back irregularly where as IPO and ALM are unlikely to.
So IMHO PEQ is the better investment.

...& back down to 236p at today's USDGBP rate of 1.539!

The expectation of another tender offer is the only thing PEQ has going for it; though, as at the bid price of 184p the discount = 22%; perhaps that tender offer when it comes around again makes it all worthwhile!

Down in dollar terms and up in pence terms.

[joe say] 13/2/2015 10:32

but crucially (albeit marginal) up in dollar terms

PEQ NAV falls yet again in $terms:
==================================

The Company announces that its Net Asset Value ("NAV") at 31 January 2015,
including the current period deficit and incorporating the Limited Partnership
portfolio valuations referred to below was:

240.72 pence (US 361.54 cents) per share*

The exchange rate at which this was calculated was GBP=US$1.50190

[skyship] 15/1/2015 11:56

NAV in $ terms down another 0.6% in December. They just don't seem to gain any traction; been a poor performance throughout 2014, with the exception of that little Twitter bonus:
==========================================================

PRIVATE EQUITY INVESTOR PLC

The Company announces that its Net Asset Value ("NAV") at 31 December 2014,
including the current period deficit and incorporating the Limited Partnership
portfolio valuations referred to below was:

232.94 pence (US 363.21 cents) per share*

The exchange rate at which this was calculated was GBP=US$1.55925

[skyship] 13/12/2014 09:16

P - thnx for that - no, hadn't seen it.

A pretty small transaction; but another step along the route to the next Tender.

[skyship] 12/12/2014 15:22

NAV for November rises 2.6% to 233.43p. Only a 0.44% rise in $ terms, but the exchange rate moved from 1.60 to 1.566, hence the Sterling improvement.

Takes the discount up to 19.9% - quite high for PEQ, especially as we are now more than half way through to the next likely Tender in May'15...

[skyship] 14/11/2014 10:02

At 187p the discount now back up to 17.8%
=========================================

[jaws6] 03/11/2014 11:24

oh ok.
Thanks for info.

[envirovision] 03/11/2014 11:16

Vote to wind up now every year instead of 5 years raises prospect of a quicker return (providing below NAV)

[jaws6] 03/11/2014 11:05

envirovision
What is this Res 9 thing ?

[envirovision] 03/11/2014 11:03

Resolution 9 looks interesting.

[envirovision] 03/11/2014 11:03

Resolution 9 looks interesting.

Another tender offer coming RNS out

[skyship] 11/1/2014 15:52

Mental bubble developing in Tech...

[praipus] 09/1/2014 15:50

Take a look at the charts from the recent PEQ IPO's
ChannelAdvisor, Corp. (NYSE: ECOM): a North Carolina-based provider of an
e-commerce platform which manages sales across multiple online channels - which
raised $81 million.



- Marketo, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKTO): a California-based provider of a cloud-based
marketing software platform - which raised $79 million.




- NanoString Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTG): a Washington-based company which
develops, manufactures and sells diagnostic systems for the analysis of genomic
information - which raised $54 million.

skyship
Does that mean 219 nav plus 7.6 p?
not sure £ p or $ c

[skyship] 11/11/2013 14:02

A nice little bonus. Today's RNS says that a small indirect holding in Twitter adds c7.6p to the underlying NAV. Hope they sell it fast!

[skyship] 12/5/2013 09:48

Yes, but that is true of many of the PE trusts - tends to ensure further growth to come; but with PEQ...

Still, their tender policy remains a big positive for shareholders.

[bisiboy] 10/5/2013 17:11

still a lot of the underlying funds reporting dec12 Navs think
real NAV will be much higher than stated

[praipus] 10/5/2013 15:45

Hmmm difficult to compare Skyship I dont know any fund with as many underlying (look through) holdings (500(?)) or one thats returning cash as well. Happy to hold IMHO.
