Business review (at 30 June 2022)

NAV decrease of 2% during June 2022

  • 1.9% NAV decline ($26 million) during the month of June as a result of a decline in value of quoted holdings
  • 0.6% NAV decrease ($8 million) from negative FX movements, primarily attributable to changes in the EUR/USD rate
  • 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. NBPE expects to issue its interim financial report in September 2022
