Starting the year at a discount, the share price improved after the summer as the economy came out of the COVID pandemic and, until the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Ordinary Shares traded at a premium. In March the Company briefly traded at a 5.3 per cent. discount, however, the average discount during the year was 1.2 per cent., and it moved in a range of a 2.8 per cent. premium to a 5.8 per cent. discount during the year.

Notably, from March 2021 the NAV performance has been steadily positive and this has not been matched by an increasing share price, but since the Russian invasion in Ukraine the Company has traded at a small discount as the NAV performance was negative due to credit spread widening due to global risk sentiment changing significantly. The Board is willing to continue to authorise the issuance of further Shares as a premium management mechanism while the portfolio managers can confirm that attractive investment opportunities are available in the market. Clearly, while the Company's Shares continue to trade on a discount, it is neither required, nor possible to issue at a premium.

The NAV per share total return on the Ordinary Shares from launch to 31 March 2022 was 92.81 per cent. (including dividends paid). The NAV per Ordinary Share marginally declined from 112.75 pence at the start of the year to 112.45 pence, for a total return of 5.55 per cent. (including dividends paid) during the year, and the income component of the return to investors remained strong. The Company declared and paid a dividend of 1.91 pence to cover the excess income earned during the preceding year, and three dividends of 1.5 pence per Ordinary Share to cover the pro-rata minimum target return of 6 pence per Ordinary Share, as well as announcing a final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2022 of 2.27 pence per Ordinary Share which was subsequently paid after the end of the year. The increase of the March 2022 dividend can be partly attributed to higher base rates as the Bank of England hiked interest rates three times from December to March and since then hiked one more time in May to bring the current base rate to 1.0 per cent. As the Company invests in floating rate bonds the income has improved. Due to the current heightened inflation levels the market widely expects that the Bank of England will hike interest rates five to six times more in the coming 12 months which will benefit coupon income for the Company. The dividend policy has remained consistent since launch, and despite the fundamental and market impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as high inflation, the Board is pleased that the objective of the Company to provide attractive returns has been achieved with the full year income earned and distributed matching almost exactly that of the prior year.

The NAV performance of the Company has been mostly positive during the year as it has recovered from the volatility felt across all financial markets since late February 2020, as a result of the implications of a global shutdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
