A solid result indeed @Foolednomore

Not that the market seems to care, haha!

The thesis remains unchanged:

  • An aligned management team with a good track record of capital allocation (past realisations have an average of 23% IRR)
  • A conservative carrying value of investments (all past realisations have been above carrying value).
  • Shares at significant discount to NTA (which itself is conservatively estimated) -- remembering too only ~28% of their NTA is based on private company valuations.
  • Rock solid balance sheet with $94m in net cash (represents 36% of NTA)
  • We're getting a 7% grossed up yield along the way (although this will be lumpy)


Hard to think of a better way to get access to early-stage unlisted technology/growth.

Concur on the results .

Very nice and assuming similar dividends were to be paid in the coming year presents as a grossed up yield of nearing 10% over the next 13months.

Happy to top up a little more this morning
