Oliver Gardey, Head of Private Equity Fund Investments, ICG, commented:
"We were extremely pleased with the performance we delivered in this
strong third quarter. The significant returns delivered across the
portfolio demonstrate the benefits of our differentiated strategy of
actively constructing a portfolio of investments with defensive growth
characteristics. The strength of this portfolio construction is
underlined by the strong performance of our High Conviction Investments
and Third Party Funds.
"We continued to source attractive investment opportunities across our
High Conviction Investments and Third Party Funds. Our portfolio is well
diversified by sector and geography, well positioned in this time of
uncertainty, and we continued to enjoy good momentum across the business
after the end of this reporting period. I am confident that we are
extremely well placed to take advantage of a growing investment pipeline
and will continue to deliver significant shareholder value over the long
term."

46% of the total portfolio value (31 July 2020: 44%)

and is now contributing GBP440m to reported NAV
-- In line with our strategic objectives, we increased the weighting towards
the US in our portfolio during the quarter, from 35% to 39%. This was
partially driven by the strength of the performance of a number of our
