Investment Activity
The Company's GAM Diversity exposure is held through a note executed with Julius Baer, which with leverage means that approximately 20.3% of the Company's Net Asset Value ("NAV") is exposed to the performance of GAM Diversity. At 30 September 2011 the Company's exposure was halved by reducing the leverage in the Julius Baer Bank note. Notice has been given of termination of the remaining exposure by April 2012 in line with the Company's plans for exit in spring 2012.
The Company continues to satisfy the test of being 70% invested in qualifying holdings and as at 30 November 2011 VCT qualifying holdings represented 78.7% of NAV.
Material Events and Transactions
During the third quarter of the year no shares were issued and no shares were purchased by the Company for cancellation.
