News Release
Guernsey, 12 October 2009
Princess NAV up 1.8% in September; quarterly update conference call to be held on 13 October 2009
In September, the net asset value ("NAV") of Princess increased by 1.76% to EUR 6.99 per share. Positive valuation developments of the underlying portfolio companies more than offset the depreciation of the US dollar denominated holdings.
Dr. Henning Eckermann, Partner and Chief Economist at Princess' investment advisor Partners Group, comments: "We are pleased to see Princess' positive NAV development in September. Although this result indicates first signs of an economic rebound, downside risks remain a concern on the way to a self-sustainable recovery. We are confident that Princess with its top-quartile private equity managers and its broad diversification over geographical regions, investment years and financial stages is well positioned for a healthy development of the portfolio."
Princess will hold a conference call tomorrow, 13 October 2009 at 9.30am BST in English and at 8.30am BST in German to update interested parties on the recent developments of the Princess portfolio. The information disclosed will refer to unaudited figures as at 30 September 2009.
