A snapshot of the components to this NAV and the relevant date for their valuation is provided below.

Strategies

Private infrastructure was the largest contributor during the period, adding +0.6% in local currency terms. Private real estate equity was slightly positive, contributing +0.2% in local currency, while private real estate debt also contributed +0.2%. Liquid strategies contributed -0.4% in local currency.

Sterling1 strengthened against the underlying currencies in the portfolio, resulting in a net negative currency impact over the Company's quarter to 28th February 2025.

1 The GBP/USD exchange rate was 1.25915 as at 28th February 2025, versus 1.27105 as at 29th November 2024. Currency impact does not factor in an offsetting gain/loss from the hedged infrastructure strategy, which is priced as at 31st December 2024.

Dividends

The last quarterly dividend of 1.05 pence per share was paid to shareholders on 29th November 2024. As noted in the Chairman's Statement in the interim results announced on 27th November 2024, the Company has ceased paying dividends, and all further distributions will be made by way of returns of capital.

Private Portfolio Operating Metrics

Discount Rates

Lease Duration

· Average lease duration of 5.2 years in real estate and transportation, with approximately 14% expected to expire in 2025.

Occupancy

· 96% occupancy of leased assets in real estate and transportation, with Q4 2024 collections being in line with expectations. At an overall portfolio level, occupancy and income receipts are in line with the Investment Manager's expectations.

Loan To Value (LTV)

· 42% portfolio weighted average LTV across private assets. Asset level LTVs will vary by strategy, with the real estate average LTV of 35% and infrastructure and transport blended LTV of 50%. The underlying strategies continue to take a conservative view on overall leverage use.

Debt

· 4.5% blended average cost of debt across the strategies, with 69.8% being fixed and 30.2% floating and a weighted average maturity of 5.0 years.

Development Profile

A number of the underlying private strategies have the capacity to engage in a small degree of development, with the private asset portfolio having a relatively minimal exposure to development assets. This small allocation allows the Investment Manager, where appropriate, to capitalise on areas where construction is a more effective way to gain access to assets or sectors less accessible in the secondary market. The development pipeline has moderated, especially in real estate. We would expect construction exposure across JARA's portfolio to remain relatively low on an aggregate basis.

Currency

The main currency exposures4 of the portfolio (including liquidity funds) are as follows:

4 Other currencies represent approximately 2% in aggregate. Numbers may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
