Princess publishes May NAV

10th Jun 2009 17:54

RNS Number : 7143T
Princess Private Equity Holding Ltd

News Release

Guernsey10 June 2009

Publication of May NAV

During the month of May, the net asset value (“NAV”) of Princess decreased by 5.57% to EUR 7.22 per share. While valuation adjustments overall had a limited negative effect of 1.49% on the NAV in May, the biggest impact came from the foreign exchange movements. The depreciation of the US dollar against the Euro contributed a negative 3.84% to the net asset value. Partners Group, the Investment Advisor to Princess, is currently using put options to hedge the majority of the US dollar investments, which reduces liquidity risk but increases foreign exchange volatility over the shorter term. Notwithstanding the strong depreciation of the US dollar in May, Princess could benefit from foreign exchange movements since inception of the put option, which helped to mitigate valuation adjustments during the last six months.

Dr. Stephan Schäli, Partner and Head Private Capital at Princess's Investment Advisor Partners Group, comments: "The general partner reports as of year-end 2008 and end-March 2009 received during May had a negative impact of 3.00% on the NAV as was expected due to the fall in public comparables in the respective reporting periods and the challenging market environment. However, IFRS adjustments made by Princess' Investment Advisor Partners Group in order to reflect the "fair value" of the underlying portfolio companies had a positive impact of 1.51% on the May NAV, mainly reflecting the continuous rebound of public equity markets since March 2009."
