30 September 2022 Net Asset Value and Commentary
The unaudited diluted net asset value of RIT Capital Partners
plc as at 30 September 2022 (with debt at fair value) was 2,464p
per GBP1 ordinary share (31 August 2022: 2,523p).
In light of the extraordinary market conditions experienced
during late September, we felt it would be helpful for shareholders
if we provided some more colour on the behaviour of our portfolio
during times like these, as well as putting it into the context of
our long-term objectives.
September saw equity markets fall sharply. The FTSE 250 lost
-9.7%, the S&P 500 -9.2% and our own reference index, the MSCI
All Countries World Index (50% Sterling) was down -7.1%. The
exceptional volatility was not limited to equity markets, with all
asset classes experiencing wide swings notably across currencies,
bond markets and commodities. Against this most challenging
backdrop, our NAV total return over the month was a decline of
-2.3%. This outperformance reflected in particular:
-- Our cautious positioning, with historically low levels of
quoted equity exposure, helped to protect us from the brunt of the
stock market falls;
-- Positive contribution from our currency positioning, with
around half our portfolio held outside of Sterling benefiting the
NAV as Sterling weakened; and
-- Some modest give back of the exceptional gains from our
private investments over recent years.
Our year-to-date NAV total return therefore shows a decline of
-11.2% against the ACWI which lost -16.0%, with the outperformance
reflecting broadly the same drivers as above. With a corporate
objective focused on the long-term, our three-year performance of
31.9% compares favourably with the ACWI of 17.9% as does our
five-year performance of 47.9% compared to 37.1% for global
equities. This performance also exhibited lower risk, whether
measured by volatility or the size of any drawdowns.
Our private investments have been a key source of returns over
RIT's history and in particular during recent years. While we have
seen some value compression this year, underlying portfolio
companies continue to perform well and we remain confident in their
ability to generate future NAV performance. Our direct private
investments are valued on a six-monthly cycle by our independent
Valuation Committee, and the private funds report quarterly fair
values, on a lagged basis as is standard for this industry. By the
end of September, the vast majority of our funds (around 99%) were
valued at 30 June quarterly valuations.
As shareholders are aware, the nature and composition of our
investment portfolio enables us to produce monthly rather than
daily NAVs. At times of significant market stress, the wider market
conditions can dominate such that our share price moves in sync
with broad equity markets, irrespective of our underlying NAV. This
may lead to a widening of the discount. In these circumstances, we
have continued our approach of seeking to minimise the impact on
shareholders by buying back shares accretively. During September we
acquired some 280,000 shares at a cost of around GBP6.1m,
increasing the NAV per share.
Shareholders will also be aware that our share price became
ex-dividend on 6 October and we will pay our second interim
dividend of 18.5p per share on 28 October. This will provide
shareholders with a total dividend of 37p for 2022, 5.0% above
2021.
