Q2 2023 Portfolio Manager Commentary

 

In what has been a weaker quarter for UK indices, with the FTSE AIM All Share down 6.5%, the Company's positive NAV performance in Q2 2023 (+0.8% when compared to 31 March 2023) has been encouraging, with NAV performance in June 2023 driven mainly by positive performance in what has been the Company's first core position in Angling Direct plc, which is now the Company's largest equity holding. 

 

Post IPO, 98% of the Company's NAV was deployed into 10 UK Gilts and treasury-bills that are earning a running yield in excess of 4% for the Company. Subsequently, 6% of NAV was deployed into Angling Direct plc (AIM: ANG) and a further c.12% of ONWD NAV has been deployed into 6 further initial equity investments - each being c.2% NAV or less. Further information can be found in the Q2 2023 factsheet.
