QUARTERLY UPDATE
FOR THE QUARTER TO 31 OCTOBER 2016
Performance overview
-- Net asset value per share Total Return1 for the quarter of 3.2% (nine
months to 31 October 2016 of 13.5%), with the net asset value per share
at 813.5p. In the last twelve months, net asset value per share
increased by 19.4%, while the share price increased by 8.8% against a
12.2% increase in the FTSE All-Share Index
-- The Portfolio1 is valued at GBP518.6m at 31 October 2016, driven by
strong underlying growth of 8.6%, and favourable foreign exchange
movements of 9.9% for the nine months to 31 October 2016
-- In line with our strategy of becoming fully invested and reflecting the
benefit of being part of ICG, the investment rate increased in the
quarter with investments of GBP43.4m outstripping realisations of
GBP17.3m
-- Share price up to 650p (implying a 20.1% discount to the net asset value)
from 545p at 31 January 2016, with a Share price Total Return for the
period of 22.5%. The FTSE All-Share Index was up 16.6% in the same period
-- The long term performance2 of the Company remains strong, with the net
asset value outperforming the FTSE All-Share Index over one, three and
ten years.
Performance to 31 October 2016 1 year 3 year 5 year 10* year
Net asset value per share 19.4% 28.5% 57.1% 118.8%
Share price 8.8% 27.6% 92.4% 107.1%
FTSE All-Share Index 12.2% 16.8% 57.4% 76.5%
* As the Company changed its year end in 2010, the ten year figures are
for the 121 month period to 31 October 2016.
Commenting on performance, Mark Fane, Chairman, said
"The environment for realisations continues to be positive despite
volatility in markets and geopolitical concerns, and the prospects for
further growth in unrealised valuations remain strong. Our investment
strategy, which is fundamentally unchanged following the move to ICG,
gives us the flexibility to adapt the mix of primary funds, secondaries
and co-investments to changing market conditions and to deploy cash
where we see the best relative value. The move to ICG is generating
significant new investment opportunities. In addition, ICG is providing
access to a range of specialist functions to provide support and enhance
the management of the Company.
Footnote
1. Included in this Quarterly Update are Alternative Performance Measures
("APMs"). APMs have been used if considered by the Board and the Manager
to be the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing the overall
performance of the Company, and for comparing the performance of the
Company to its peers and its previously reported results. The Glossary
includes further details of APMs and reconciliations to IFRS measures,
where appropriate. The rationale for the APMs was discussed in detail in
the Manager's Review in the July 2016 interim results. The Glossary
includes a reconciliation of the Portfolio to the most relevant IFRS
measure.
2. All performance figures are on a total return basis, including the effect
of re-invested dividends.
Activity in the quarter to 31 October 2016
Investment activity
The Portfolio generated GBP17.3m of proceeds in the quarter to 31
October 2016. This brings the total proceeds year to date to GBP62.8m
(nine months to 31 October 2015: GBP88.2m).
Seven full realisations were completed during the quarter, accounting
for GBP7.7m of the proceeds received at an average return of 2.8 times
cost. The remaining GBP9.6m of total proceeds was generated by a
combination of refinancings, sell-downs of listed holdings by third
party managers and other partial realisations.
In the nine months to 31 October 2016, 30 full realisations were
completed with 22 post-crisis investments generating an average uplift
on realisation of 32% for a return of 2.9 times cost. The eight
pre-crisis investments dragged the average return down generating an
average uplift on realisation of 8% at a return of 1.2 times cost.
New investment activity in the quarter totalled GBP43.4m, comprising
fund drawdowns of GBP24.0m and secondary purchases and co-investments of
GBP19.4m. This brings the total invested in the nine months to GBP73.7m
(nine months to 31 October 2015: GBP37.5m), in part reflecting the
investment opportunities generated from our relationship with ICG.
During the quarter to 31 October 2016 three new commitments were made to
third party funds, BC European Capital X (EUR15.0m), Permira VI
(EUR10.0m) and Gridiron Capital III ($15.0m). A further two new
commitments were made to ICG funds, $15.0m to ICG Asia Pacific III and
EUR0.5m to ICG Europe V through a secondary transaction. Finally, two
new co-investment commitments were made to System One ($10.0m) and
Roompot (EUR10.0m). Please refer to further information in the
supplementary information.
Since the change of Manager on 1 February 2016, 13 new commitments and
discretionary investments totalling GBP135m have been completed, of
which 40% has been sourced directly or indirectly from ICG.
Cash and liquid assets(1)
Cash and liquid assets decreased by GBP33.0m to GBP77.4m mainly as a
result of a net GBP26.1m invested in the Portfolio in the three months
to 31 October 2016. Non-investment cash flows and favorable currency
movements increased cash by GBP1.0m. The interim dividend of 10.0p per
share returned GBP7.1m to shareholders. The Company also bought back
98,919 shares for GBP0.6m.

Glossary
Portfolio
Throughout, reference is made to the "Portfolio", which represents the
aggregate of the investment portfolios of the Company and of its
subsidiary limited partnerships. This is consistent with the commentary
in previous annual and interim reports. The Board and the Manager
consider that this is the most relevant basis for shareholders to assess
the overall performance of the Company and comparison with its peers.
The closest equivalent amount reported on the balance sheet is
"investments at fair value". A reconciliation of these two measures is
presented below.

FTSE All-Share Index Total return - The change in the level of the FTSE
All-Share Index Index, assuming that dividends are re-invested on the
day that they are paid.
Net asset value per share Total Return - The change in the Company's net
asset value per share, assuming that dividends are re-invested at the
end of the quarter in which the dividend was paid.
Share price Total Return - The change in the Company's share price,
assuming that dividends are re-invested on the day that they are paid.
Total Return is a performance measure that assumes the notional
re-investment of dividends. This is a measure commonly used by the
listed private equity sector and listed companies in general.
The tables below set out the share price and the net asset value per
share growth figures for periods of 1, 3, 5 and 10 years to the balance
sheet date, on both an unadjusted basis (i.e. without dividends
re-invested) and on a Total Return basis.
