Hardman & Co Research on ICG Enterprise Trust (ICGT):

1HFY’24: defensive growth/disciplined approach

ICGT’s interim results to July 2023 confirmed the robust nature of its strategy and portfolio with LTM NAV per share total return of 4.1%. The 1HFY’24 portfolio return, on a constant currency basis, was 4.6% and the long-term, ongoing buyback programme enhanced NAV with an average discount on purchase of over 40%. The minimum of 32p expected dividend for FY’24 was reconfirmed. Realisations were £94m, new investments £64m and new commitments £110m; activity that is slower than the recent past but still ongoing. Exits were at an average 18% premium to carrying value, demonstrating the conservative approach to accounting. ICGT’s defensive growth is delivering in challenging markets.
