Manager Commentary
During February, NBPE received $7.7 million of proceeds in total, which
consisted of the remaining $4.0 million from the previously announced
final sale of Avantor (NYSE: AVTR) public shares and $3.5 million from
income investments, consisting primarily of proceeds from the NB Credit
Opportunities Program and NB Specialty Finance Program. In terms of new
investments, NBPE funded $2.5 million to its commitment to the NB
Specialty Finance Program, a follow-on of $0.4 million to one direct
equity investment and NBPE received $0.2 million from a return of
capital.
The February monthly NAV update includes $31.9 million of additional
private company write-ups attributable to updated 31 December 2020
valuation information. This brings total quarterly valuation gains from
31 December 2020 financial information to $70.8 million to date,
inclusive of valuation write-ups already incorporated into the January
monthly NAV update. These valuation increases have driven NAV growth to
approximately 20.9% over the last twelve months in US Dollar terms and
inclusive of dividends paid.
Approximately 17% of valuation information in this estimate is as of
28th February and 56% of valuation information is updated to 31 December
2020. Additional valuation information will be incorporated in future
monthly NAV updates and NBPE expects to issue its audited financial
report in April 2021.
