Executive summary
Net asset value (NAV) per share decreased by 1.8% to 1,601.5p for the year ended 31 December 2025, with a total NAV of £1,720.5 million.
Share price increased by 5.6% to 1,566.0p, narrowing the discount to NAV to 2.2% from 9.1% a year earlier.
The Board proposed converting the company into an open-ended investment company (OEIC) to address persistent share price discount and enhance shareholder value.
A major restructuring is underway, with shareholder votes scheduled for February 2026 and anticipated voluntary liquidation if approved.
Financial highlights
NAV per share fell 1.8% year-over-year, underperforming the MSCI World SMID Index, which rose 10.2%.
Total loss after tax was £62.8 million, comprising a capital loss of £67.4 million and a revenue profit of £4.6 million.
Ongoing charges ratio was 0.90%, up from 0.86% in 2024; total cost of investment was 0.92%.
Dividend of 2.1p per share announced for the 18-month period to 30 June 2026.
Share buybacks continued, with 23.1 million shares repurchased in 2025, totaling nearly 40% of shares since April 2022.
Outlook and guidance
The Board believes the proposed OEIC structure will eliminate the share price discount and provide daily liquidity at NAV.
If the restructuring is approved, all directors will step down and a liquidator will be appointed.
The investment strategy will remain unchanged in the new structure.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
