Oliver Gardey
Head of Private Equity Fund Investments, ICG
Against a macroeconomic backdrop that became increasingly
challenging, we are proud of the resilience of our
investments during the first half of FY23. At 31 July
2022, NAV per Share stood at 1,852p, a NAV per Share
Total Return of 10.9% for the period and 24.2% on
an LTM basis.
Delivering defensive growth through economic cycles
defines our approach at ICG Enterprise Trust: it shapes
how we construct the Portfolio and evaluate potential
investments, as well as how we allocate capital between
reinvestments and shareholder distributions. We entered
the financial year with a Portfolio aligned with this
strategy and during the period it has delivered on
our ambition, generating a 7.4% Portfolio Return on
a Local Currency Basis.
Our investment team has reacted effectively to the
evolving market dynamics, allocating capital in a
disciplined fashion to opportunities that we believe
offer attractive risk-adjusted returns in this environment,
such as secondary portfolios, while also selectively
making primary commitments to third party funds.
There are great opportunities to be captured by successfully
navigating challenging markets. We believe that our
clear investment strategy and flexible mandate, supported
by the experience and network of our dedicated team,
position us well to generate long-term value.

NOTES
Included in this document are Alternative Performance Measures
("APM"). APM have been used if considered by the Board and the
Manager to be the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing
the overall performance of the Company, and for comparing the
performance of the Company to its peers and its previously reported
results. The Glossary includes further details of APMs and
reconciliations to International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") measures, where appropriate.
In the Chair's Foreword, Manager's Review and Supplementary
Information, all performance figures are stated on a Total Return
basis (i.e., including the effect of re-invested dividends). ICG
Alternative Investment Limited, a regulated subsidiary of
Intermediate Capital Group plc, acts as the Manager of the
Company.

CHAIR'S FOREWORD
Our aim is to deliver attractive compounding returns across the
cycle by identifying companies that have defensive growth
characteristics. Our performance for the first six months of this
financial year has delivered on that intention.
I am pleased to report that your Company's NAV per Share Total
Return during the period was 10.9% and at 31 July 2022 NAV stood at
1,852p per share. The Portfolio(1) has performed strongly,
recording a Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis of 7.4% for
the six months to 31 July 2022.
Despite the strong Portfolio performance and NAV per Share Total
Return, an ICG Enterprise Trust share generated a total share price
return of (1.6)% during the period. As part of its ongoing focus on
optimising the return that the Company delivers for its
shareholders, the Board has resolved to commence a long-term
programme of share buybacks. This programme will sit alongside the
Company's existing progressive dividend policy as a route to
deliver returns to our shareholders. The Board believes the buyback
programme demonstrates the Manager's discipline around capital
allocation; underlines the Board's confidence in the long-term
prospects of the Company, its cashflows and NAV; will enhance the
NAV per share; and over time may reduce the volatility of the
Company's discount and increase its trading liquidity.
Your Board remains confident that ICG Enterprise Trust is well
positioned to provide shareholders with access to the attractive
long-term returns generated by investing in private companies, with
the added benefit of daily liquidity. Our investment strategy is
clear, our financial position is robust, and the underlying
companies in which our Portfolio is invested are well-equipped to
withstand the economic uncertainties we currently face. As
evidenced by our buyback programme announced today, and our
enhanced disclosure on the financial and operational performance of
the top 30 companies within our Portfolio, we are committed to
helping the market share our confidence in the long-term prospects
of ICG Enterprise Trust.

MANAGER'S REVIEW
Alternative Performance Measures
The Board and the Manager monitor the financial performance of
the Company on the basis of Alternative Performance Measures (APM),
which are non-IFRS measures. The APM predominantly form the basis
of the financial measures discussed in this review, which the Board
believes assists shareholders in assessing their investment and the
delivery of the investment strategy.
The Company holds certain investments in subsidiary entities.
The substantive difference between APM and IFRS is the treatment of
the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries. The APM basis
"looks through" these subsidiaries to the underlying assets and
liabilities they hold, and it reports the investments as the
Portfolio APM. Under IFRS, the Company and its subsidiaries are
reported separately. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries
are presented on the face of the IFRS balance sheet as a single
carrying value. The same is true for the IFRS and APM basis of the
Cash flow statement.
The following table sets out IFRS metrics and the APM
equivalents:

Our investment strategy
We focus on investing in buyouts of businesses that are
profitable, cash generative and have defensive growth
characteristics that we believe will deliver strong and resilient
returns across economic cycles. There are a number of themes that
contribute to a business having, in our view, such characteristics.
These include (among others) attractive market positioning,
providing mission-critical services to their clients and customers,
ability to pass on price increases, and structurally high
margins.
We take an active approach to portfolio construction, with a
flexible mandate that enables us to deploy capital in primary,
secondary and Direct Investments. Investments managed by ICG
account for 29.2% of the Portfolio. We believe our investment
strategy results in a differentiated portfolio with attractive
growth characteristics. Our Portfolio composition is shown

Investment strategy in practice
Our focus on defensive growth has remained at the forefront of
our investment decisions during the period. In a time of heightened
macroeconomic uncertainty, we target investments with fewer unknown
variables. This year we have identified a number of investment
opportunities that can provide this. Firstly, leveraging ICG's
expertise in structured transactions, we made two Direct
Investments during the period, both of which include contractual
downside protection. Secondly, we have increased our allocation to
Secondary Investments: in the secondary market, an investor is
purchasing a more mature portfolio with clear visibility of the
underlying assets which provides greater conviction in the
financial profile of the investment. Finally, we have ensured that
we will remain appropriately invested through the cycle by making
commitments to high-quality Third Party managers with strong track
records, which we expect to be invested over the coming 3-4
years.
Performance overview
Our growth during the period extends the track record of strong
investment performance. Over the last five years, our Portfolio has
generated an annualised Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis
of 20.6% and 21.9% on an LTM basis. At 31 July 2022, our Portfolio
was valued at GBP1,353.7m, which reflects a Portfolio Return on a
Local Currency Basis in the first half of the financial year of
7.4% (H1 FY22: 14.9%).
Due to the geographic diversification of our Portfolio, the
reported value is impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates.
During the period, the Portfolio increased by GBP57.6m / 5.0% due
to FX movements, driven primarily by US Dollar strengthening
against Sterling. Including the positive FX impact, Portfolio
growth during the period was 12.4%.
The net result for shareholders was that ICG Enterprise Trust
generated a NAV per Share Total Return of 10.9% during H1 FY23,
ending the period with a NAV per Share of 1,852p.

During the first half, High Conviction Investments generated a
9.2% Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis (H1 FY22: 9.6%).
Within this, ICG LP Secondaries was the largest contributor to
performance among fund investments. A number of Direct Investments
also performed strongly during the period, including ECG and
Endeavour Schools (driven by strong operational performance) and
IRI (which completed its merger with NPD on 1 August 2022).
Third Party Funds generated a 5.7% Portfolio Return on a Local
Currency Basis for the period (H1 FY22: 20.3%), driven by a strong
performance of a number of funds including those managed by
Bowmark, Graphite and Gridiron supported by a combination of
underlying performance and signed Realisations
Performance of Portfolio companies
Our largest 30 underlying companies ("Top 30 companies")
represented 40.6% of the Portfolio by value at 31 July 2022 (31
January 2022: 39.0%). There were 3 new entrants to our Top 30
companies within the period: Newton (#17), EG Group (#27), and
Travel Nurse Across America (#30). All of these were existing
holdings in the Portfolio prior to the start of the financial year.
The inclusion of Newton within the Top 30 is primarily a result of
a new investment into the company during the period. More
information on new investments made during the period can be found
on page 8. The inclusion of EG Group and Travel Nurse in the Top 30
reflects a combination of Portfolio reweighting due to realisation
activity and strong operational performance.
The Top 30 companies continued to deliver impressive operational
performance during the period, reporting double-digit LTM revenue
and EBITDA growth, along with some EBITDA margin expansion. The net
leverage of the Portfolio companies has remained broadly in-line
with levels at year-end.

Quoted Companies
We do not actively invest in publicly quoted companies but gain
listed investment exposure when IPOs are used as a route to exit an
investment. In these cases, exit timing typically lies with the
third party manager alongside whom we have invested.
At 31 July 2022, ICG Enterprise Trust's exposure to quoted
companies was valued at GBP119.1m, equivalent to 8.8% of the
Portfolio value. The period saw broad-based selldowns across public
equity markets, which impacted our quoted investments including our
largest listed exposure, Chewy, whose share price fell 18.4% in
local currency (USD) during the period. ICG Enterprise Trust's
investment in PetSmart (which includes Chewy) has delivered a
strong return on investment for our shareholders and remains our
largest underlying exposure. Across the Portfolio, local currency
losses from declines in public market values were largely offset in
sterling terms by positive FX gains.
At 31 July 2022 there was one quoted investment that
individually accounted for 0.5% or more of the Portfolio value:

Realisation activity
After a slower first quarter, we saw a number of larger
realisations during the second quarter, resulting in Total Proceeds
for the first half of GBP106.8m. There were 30 Full Exits of
Portfolio holdings during the period, generating proceeds of
GBP73.2m. Full Exits were completed at an average Multiple to Cost
of 3.3x, and an average Uplift To Carrying Value of 25.2%. We
believe that the ability to continue to sell assets at an uplift to
NAV reflects the continuing demand for high quality assets and
underpins our confidence in the valuation of our Portfolio. Partial
exits generated Realisation Proceeds of GBP33.6m during the
period.
The largest exit during the period was Random42, a scientific
animation and digital media services company, which was realised
via trade sale to a specialist medical communications company in
June. The 10 largest underlying realisations in the period can be

transactions were structured with enhanced downside protection, and
both represent co-investments into existing holdings, giving us
deeper understanding of the underlying businesses. The balance of
new Direct Investments is comprised of GBP1.7m of incremental
drawdowns across 5 existing Direct Investments.

Commitments
During the first half, we made new Commitments to funds of
GBP164.1m. This includes commitments to two ICG-managed funds
totalling GBP65.9m. Both of these were to funds focussed on
Secondary Investments, as part of our strategic ambition to
increase our exposure to the secondary market.
Commitments to Third Party Funds during the period totalled
GBP98.2m. We maintained our diligence in identifying leading
managers who complement our long-term strategic objectives, are
committed to values aligned to our Responsible Investing framework,
and have an investment approach that suits our defensive growth
focus. A number of commitments were made to managers with whom we
have longstanding relationships and who have a strong track record
of offering us attractive co-investment opportunities, such as PAI
and Gridiron. At the same time, we continued to originate new
opportunities to work with leading managers, and during the period
committed GBP8.0m to Thoma Bravo XV, a US-based manager focusing on
global mid-market and large buyouts with a focus on
subscription-based software businesses.

Balance sheet and financing
At 31 July 2022 we had a cash balance of GBP12.7m (31 January
2022: GBP41.3m) and total available liquidity of GBP173.9m. At 31
July 2022, the drawn debt was GBP39.1m (31 January 2022:
GBP0.0m).
During the period, we increased the size of our Revolving Credit
Facility ("RCF") to EUR240m (from EUR200m previously), in keeping
with the Company's higher net asset value. In addition, the
maturity of the RCF was extended by one year to February 2026. The
other key terms remain unchanged. The RCF is available for general
corporate purposes, including short-term financing of investments
such as the Drawdown of Commitments to funds. We do not intend to
be geared other than for short-term working capital purposes.

Dividend and share buyback
In line with ICG Enterprise Trust's progressive dividend policy,
the Board has declared a dividend of 7p per share in respect of the
second quarter, taking total dividends for the period to 14p (H1
FY22: 12p). It remains the Board's intention, in the absence of any
unforeseen circumstances, to declare total dividends of at least
30p per share for the financial year, implying an increase of 11.1%
on the previous financial year.
In addition, as part of its ongoing focus on optimising the
return that the Company delivers for its shareholders, the Board
has resolved to commence a long-term programme of share buybacks.
This programme, effective as of this announcement, will sit
alongside the Company's existing progressive dividend policy and
may be executed at any discount to NAV.
The Board believes the buyback programme demonstrates the
Manager's discipline around capital allocation; underlines the
Board's confidence in the long-term prospects of the Company, its
cashflows and NAV; will enhance the NAV per share; and, over time,
may positively influence the volatility of the Company's discount
and its trading liquidity.
The Board will review quarterly the size, impact and mandate of
the buyback programme in conjunction with its advisers to help
ensure it is working in the long-term interests of shareholders and
in line with the objectives outlined above.
The Board retains absolute discretion as to the execution,
pricing and timing of any share buybacks, subject to the conditions
set out in the authority to execute share buybacks approved at the
Company's 2022 annual general meeting. Any shares repurchased by
the Company will be held in treasury. Any repurchase of shares will
be announced no later than 7.30 a.m. on the business day following
the calendar day on which the repurchase occurred.
Activity since the period end
Notable activity between 1 August 2022 and 31 August 2022 has
included:
-- Realisation Proceeds of GBP45.2m
-- New investments of GBP9.4m, which included a new Direct Investment in
Vistage Worldwide alongside Gridiron Capital
-- One new Fund Commitment of $20.0m
In September, ICG Enterprise Trust completed a Direct Investment
of EUR14.9m into ECA Group.
Outlook
We remain alert to the evolving inflationary pressures and
macroeconomic challenges that companies must navigate, as well as
the ongoing volatility impacting certain foreign exchange rates .
Importantly, the operating performance of our portfolio companies
remains resilient thus far.
We have a high bar for executing transactions in today's
environment. We are particularly focussed on assessing risks around
GDP-linked revenue, discretionary spending, and inflation, and
identifying differentiated investments that can reduce the risk of
unknown variables.
With our clear investment approach and flexible mandate executed
by a dedicated and experienced investment team, we believe ICG
Enterprise Trust remains well-positioned to implement its strategy
in these uncertain market conditions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
This section presents supplementary information regarding the
Portfolio (see Manager's Review and the Glossary for further
details and definitions).
Portfolio composition
We have a flexible mandate that enables us to deploy capital in
primary, secondary and Direct Investments. Investments managed by
ICG account for 29.2% of the Portfolio.

The Portfolio is actively managed and structured to strike a
balance between both concentration, so that Direct Investments can
meaningfully impact performance, and diversification, so that we
are not overly exposed to the risks of individual portfolio
companies or sectors. We also seek to ensure appropriate Portfolio
diversification by vintage, by sector and by geography.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are
substantially the same as those disclosed in the Strategic Report
and in the notes to the Financial Statements in the Company's
latest Annual Report for the year ended 31 January 2022 which was
approved by the Board on 11 May 2022.
The Company considers its principal risks (as well as several
underlying risks comprising each principal risk) in four
categories:
Investment risks: the risk to performance resulting from
ineffective or inappropriate investment selection, execution or
monitoring.
External risks: the risk of failing to deliver the Company's
investment objective and strategic goals due to external factors
beyond the Company's control.
Operational risks: the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or
failed internal processes, people or systems and external event,
including regulatory risk.
Financial risks: the risks of adverse impact on the Company due
to having insufficient resources to meet its obligations or
counterparty failure and the impact any material movement in
foreign exchange rates may have on underlying valuations.
A comprehensive risk assessment process is undertaken regularly
to re-evaluate the impact and probability of each risk
materialising and the strategic, financial and operational impact
of the risk. Where the residual risk is determined to be outside of
appetite, appropriate action is taken.
In addition to these, emerging risks are regularly considered to
assess any potential impact on the Company and to
determine whether any actions are required. The Board also
regularly considers the evolution of requirements and standards
relating to ESG and responsible investing.
Related Party Transactions
There have been no material changes in the related party
transactions described in the 31 January 2022 Annual Report.
Directors' Responsibility Statement
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Report,
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Directors
confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
-- The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with UK-adopted IAS 34 Interim condensed financial statements
and gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial
position and profit or loss of the Company;
-- The Chair's Statement and Manager's Review includes a fair review of the
information required by DTR 4.2.7R of the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules, being an indication of important events that have
occurred during the first six months of the financial year and their
impact on the condensed interim financial statements, and a description
of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of
the year; and
-- The interim financial statements include a fair review of the information
required by DTR 4.28R of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules,
being related party transactions that have taken place in the first six
months of the financial year and that have materially affected the
financial position or performance of the Company during that period, and
any changes in the related party transactions described in the last
Annual Report that could do so.
The Interim Report was approved by the Board and the above
Directors' Responsibility Statement was signed on its behalf by the
Chair.

of the Companies Act 2006. Within the notes to the interim
condensed financial statements, all current and comparative data
covering the period to (or as at) 31 July 2022 is unaudited. Data
given in respect of the year to 31 January 2022 is audited. The

Act 2006.
3. Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with UK-adopted IAS 34 Interim financial Reporting (IAS

computation set out in the financial statements of the Company for
the year to 31 January 2022.
The financial statements for the year to 31 January 2022 which
were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International
Accounting Standards (IAS) and the Statement of Recommended
Practice (SORP) for investment trusts issued by the Association of
Investment Companies in April 2021.
The Company comprises one operating segment which is also a
reporting segment.
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis and on the historical cost basis of accounting, modified for
the revaluation of certain assets at fair value. In making their
going concern assessment, the Directors have considered the
potential impact of principal risks on the Company's business
activities; the Company's net cash position; the availability of
the Company's credit facility and compliance with its covenants;
and the Company's cash flow projections, in particular those
arising from committed but undrawn commitments.
The Directors have concluded based on the above assessment that
the preparation of the interim condensed financial statements on a
going concern basis, to 31 October 2023, a period of more than 12
months from the signing of the interim condensed financial
statements, continues to be appropriate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
7. Fair Value estimation
IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements of
financial
instruments categorised according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (level 1).
-- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as
prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
-- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market
data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The valuation techniques applied are described in note 1 of the
annual financial statements. No investments were categorised as
level 1 or level 2.
The Company has no direct exposure to Level 1 assets. The fair
value of the Company's investment in subsidiary undertakings
includes the valuation of Level 1 assets held by the subsidiary
undertakings.
The following tables present the assets that are measured at
fair value at 31 July 2022 and 31 January 2022. The Company had no
financial liabilities measured at fair value at those dates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
7. Fair Value estimation (continued)
Investments in level 3 securities are in respect of ICG-managed
funds, Third Party Funds and Direct Investments. These are held at
fair value and are calculated using valuations provided by the
underlying manager of the investment and reviewed by ICG, with
adjustments made to the statements to take account of cash flow
events occurring after the date of the manager's valuation, such as
realisations or liquidity adjustments. A 30% increase/(decrease) in
the value of these assets (including those assets held within
subsidiary undertakings) would result in a rise and fall in NAV of
GBP384.8m and GBP(380.0)m or 29.7% and (29.3)% respectively (31
January 2022: rise and fall in NAV of GBP319.4m and GBP331.0m
respectively or 27.6% and (28.6%)).
The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments
for the periods to 31 July 2022 and 31 January 2022.

GLOSSARY
Term
Short form
Definition
Alternative Performance Measures
APMs
Alternative Performance Measures are a term defined by the
European Securities and Markets Authority as "financial measures of
historical or future performance, financial position, or cash
flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the
applicable financial reporting framework".
APMs are used in this report if considered by the Board and the
Manager to be the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing
the overall performance of the Company and for comparing the
performance of the Company to its peers, taking into account
industry practice.
Definitions and reconciliations to IFRS measures are provided in
the main body of the report or in this Glossary, where
appropriate.
Carried interest
Carried interest is equivalent to a performance fee. This
represents a share of the profits that will accrue to the
underlying private equity managers, after achievement of an agreed
Preferred Return.
Cash drag
Cash drag is the negative impact on performance arising as a
result of the allocation of a portion of the entity's assets to
cash.
Co-investment
Co-investment is a Direct Investment in a company alongside a
private equity fund.
Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual
Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual represents the estimated
value of interests in the Co-investment Incentive Scheme operated
by the subsidiary partnerships of the Company.
Commitment
Commitment represents the amount of capital that each investor
agrees to contribute to a fund or a specific investment.
Deployment
Please see 'Total new investment'.
Direct Investments
An investment in a portfolio company held directly, not through
a private equity fund. Direct Investments are typically
co-investments with a private equity fund.
Discount
Discount arises when the Company's shares trade at a price below
the Company's NAV per Share. In this circumstance, the price that
an investor pays or receives for a share would be less than the
value attributable to it by reference to the underlying assets. The
Discount is the difference between the share price and the NAV,
expressed as a percentage of the NAV. For example, if the NAV was
100p and the share price was 90p, the Discount would be 10%.
Drawdowns
Drawdowns are amounts invested by the Company when called by
underlying managers in respect of an existing Commitment.
EBITDA
Stands for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortisation, which is a widely used performance measure in the
private equity industry.
Enterprise Value
EV
Enterprise Value is the aggregate value of a company's entire
issued share capital and Net Debt.
Exclusion List
The Exclusion List defines the business activities which are
excluded from investment.
FTSE All-Share Index Total Return
The change in the level of the FTSE All-Share Index, assuming
that dividends are re- invested on the day that they are paid.
Full Exits
Full Exits are exit events (e.g., trade sale, sale by public
offering, or sale to a financial buyer) following which the
residual exposure to an underlying company is zero or immaterial;
this does not include Fund Disposals. See 'Fund Disposals'.
Fund Disposals
Fund Disposals are where the Company receives sales proceeds
from the full or partial sale of a fund position within the
secondary market.
General Partner
GP
The General Partner is the entity managing a private equity
fund. This is commonly referred to as the manager.
Hedging
Hedging is an investment technique designed to offset a
potential loss on one investment by purchasing a second investment
that is expected to perform in the opposite way.
High Conviction Investments
High Conviction Investments comprise Direct Investments, as well
as investments in ICG-managed funds and Secondary Investments.
Initial Public Offering
IPO
An Initial Public Offering is an offering by a company of its
share capital to the public with a view to seeking an admission of
its shares to a recognised stock exchange.
Internal Rate of
Return
IRR
Internal Rate of Return is a measure of the rate of return
received by an investor in a fund. It is calculated from cash drawn
from and returned to the investor, together with the residual value
of the investment.
Investment Period
Investment Period is the period in which funds are able to make
new investments under the terms of their fund agreements, typically
up to five years after the initial Commitment.
Last Twelve Months
LTM
Last Twelve Months refers to the time frame of the immediately
preceding 12 months in reference to a financial metricised to
evaluate the Company's performance.
Limited Partner
LP
The Limited Partner is an institution or individual who commits
capital to a private equity fund established as a Limited
Partnership. These funds are generally protected from legal actions
and any losses beyond the original investment.
Limited Partnership
A Limited Partnership includes one or more General Partners, who
have responsibility for managing the business of the partnership
and have unlimited liability, and one or more Limited Partners, who
do not participate in the operation of the partnership and whose
liability is ordinarily capped at their capital and loan
contribution to the partnership. In typical fund structures, the
General Partner receives a priority share ahead of distributions to
Limited Partners.
Net Asset Value
per Share
NAV per Share
Net Asset Value per Share is the value of the Company's net
assets attributable to one Ordinary share. It is calculated by
dividing 'shareholders' funds' by the total number of ordinary
shares in issue. Shareholders' funds are calculated by deducting
current and long-term liabilities, and any provision for
liabilities and charges, from the Company's total assets.
Net Asset Value
per Share Total
Return
Net Asset Value per Share Total Return is the change in the
Company's Net Asset Value per Share, assuming that dividends are
re- invested at the end of the quarter in which the dividend was
paid.
Net Debt
Net Debt is calculated as the total short-term and long-term
debt in a business, less cash and cash equivalents.
Ongoing Charges
Ongoing Charges are calculated in line with guidance issued by
the Association of Investment Companies ('AIC') and capture
management fees and expenses, excluding finance costs, incurred at
the Company level only. The calculation does not include the
expenses and management fees incurred by any underlying funds.
Other Net Liabilities
Other Net Liabilities at the aggregated Company level represent
net other liabilities per the Company's balance sheet. Net other
liabilities per the balance sheet of the subsidiaries include
amounts payable under the Co-investment Incentive Scheme
Accrual.
Overcommitment
Overcommitment refers to where private equity fund investors
make Commitments exceeding the amount of cash immediately available
for investment. When determining the appropriate level of
Overcommitment, careful consideration needs to be given to the rate
at which Commitments might be drawn down, and the rate at which
realisations will generate cash from the existing Portfolio to fund
new investment.
Portfolio
Portfolio represents the aggregate of the investment Portfolios
of the Company and of its subsidiary Limited Partnerships. This APM
is consistent with the commentary in previous annual and interim
reports. The Board and the Manager consider that disclosing our
Portfolio assists shareholders in understanding the value and
performance of the underlying investments selected by the Manager.
It is shown before the Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual to
avoid being distorted by certain funds and Direct Investments on
which ICG Enterprise Trust Plc does not incur these costs (for
example, on funds managed by ICG plc). Portfolio is related to the
NAV, which is the value attributed to our shareholders, and which
also incorporates the Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual as
well as the value of cash and debt retained on our balance
sheet.
The value of the Portfolio at 31 July 2022 is GBP1,353.7m (31
January 2022: GBP1,172.2m).
Portfolio (continued)
The closest equivalent amount reported on the balance sheet is

in the valuation of the Company's Portfolio before the impact of
currency movements and Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual. The

investment portfolio.
Preferred Return
Preferred Return is the preferential rate of return on an
individual investment or a portfolio of investments, which is
typically 8% per annum.
Premium
Premium occurs when the share price is higher than the NAV and
investors would therefore be paying more than the value
attributable to the shares by reference to the underlying
assets.
Quoted Company
A Quoted Company is any company whose shares are listed or
traded on a recognised stock exchange.
Realisation Proceeds
Realisation Proceeds are amounts received in respect of
underlying realisation activity from the Portfolio and exclude any
inflows from the sale of fund positions via the secondary
