March Comment

The estimated NAV per share of $50.67 (£40.11) at 31 March 2024 represents a 1.2% increase in US dollar terms over the previous month. This was mainly driven by Q4 2023 valuation gains.

Over this time, 330,730 ordinary shares were repurchased for a total consideration of $10.0 million which resulted in a $0.09 accretion to estimated NAV per share.

Notes:

The diversification by net asset value analysis is based on the fair value of the underlying investments, as estimated by the investment manager. Diversification by stage, phase, currency and geography is based on the estimated net asset value of partnership investments within HVPE's fund of funds and company investments within HVPE's co-investment funds. Industry diversification is based on the reported value of the underlying company investments for both fund of funds and co-investment funds. Some of the funds held in HVPE have not been fully invested. The composition of investments by phase, stage, geography, strategy, and industry may change as additional investments are made and existing investments are realised. By phase, mature includes vintage years pre-2015, growth includes vintage years 2015 to 2019, and investment includes vintage years 2020 to 2024.
