The change in NAV over the period (-€34.8m) mainly reflects the fall in prices of listed companies in the Tech & Telco sector:
ThoughtWorks
(impact: -€15.0m),
Baltic Classifieds Group
(-€5.7m) and
Duck Creek Technologies
(-€2.2 million).
It also reflects the fall in the valuation of the high-yield bond fund invested in emerging countries (-€9.1 million), which impacted the financial result for the quarter.
