       year to date figure to 7.05%. 
       The Ordinary Share NAV as at 30(th) November 2019 was 98.45 pence

       Portfolio Activity 
       As at the 30(th) November 2019, the Company's portfolio consisted 
       of 35 debt investments with a weighted average yield of 8.72%, 
       spread across 13 sectors, with a percentage split between fixed 
       and floating rate of 56% to 44%. The Investment Manager is focused 
       on reducing interest rate risk by keeping the tenors on fixed 
       rate investments generally shorter dated. 
       The portfolio has the following breakdown: 59% in bilateral private 
       loans; 36% in club or syndicated private loans; and 5% in more 
       liquid corporate debt. Consequently, private debt investments 
       represent 95% of the portfolio. 
       The transactions highlights for the month are as follows: 
        *    Four further drawdowns to Loans previously documented 
             with two borrowers. These loans relate to Social 
             Infrastructure and Energy Efficiency (Student 
             Accommodation & Receivables Finance). 
 
 
 
        *    A new GBP4m bilateral private Loan, secured over real 
             estate and benefiting from a 30-year Full Repairing & 
             Insuring "FRI" lease with a listed hospitality group. 
 
 
 
        *    GBP5m participation to a private syndicated Loan to 
             Busy Bees nurseries, a leading childcare provider 
             operating 374 nurseries across the UK and Ireland. 
 
 
 
        *    A new c.GBP6m social infrastructure investment to 
             Uninn Group, to fund four operating Student 
             Accommodation assets located across key university 
             cities, Newcastle, Sheffield, Leicester, and 
             Coventry. 
 
 
 
        *    An additional GBP2m participation in a private 
             syndicated Loan to MFG, a leading independent 
             forecourt operator within the UK, operating in excess 
             of 900 sites. 
 
 
 
        *    An additional GBP2m participation in a private 
             syndicated Loan to EG Group, the global independent 
             forecourt operator and convenience retailer operating 
             in excess of 5,000 sites. 
 
 
 
       These investments meet the Company's strict credit criteria and 
       the majority of the proceeds of the Company's recent fundraise 
       have now been deployed.
