October Comment

The estimated NAV per share of $47.31 (£41.19) at 31 October 2022 represents an increase of 0.3% in US dollar terms over the previous month. This was driven by valuation gains largely from the public company holdings in the portfolio. October portfolio cash flows were below average yet well-balanced, with a net $1 million invested during the month.

Notes:

  • Please note this percentage was incorrectly stated as 6% in the July, August and September 2022 factsheets. Therefore, the 9% figure displayed above in this October factsheet does not reflect a true increase in our Mezzanine and InfRA exposure, but a correction on previous months.

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-2013, growth includes vintage years 2013 to 2017, and investment includes vintage years 2018 to 2022.

Valuation Methodology:

HVPE carries its investments at fair value in accordance with US generally-accepted accounting principles. HVPE's Investment Manager uses the best information it has available to estimate fair value. Fair value for private equity assets is based on the most recent financial information provided by the Investment Manager, adjusted for known investment operating expenses and subsequent transactions, including investments, realisations, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and changes in value of public securities. The valuation breakdown of the HVPE portfolio as reported here is as follows: 7% actual 31 October 2022 (representing the public companies in the portfolio), 6% actual 30 September 2022, and 87% actual 30 June 2022. Consistent with previous estimated NAV reports, valuations are also adjusted for foreign exchange movements, cashflows, and any known material events to 31 October 2022.
