During the year, the company completed a £200 million share buyback program, which added 4.7% to the NAV.
The company announced a clear capital allocation policy, allocating a portion of adjusted net cash flow to share buybacks based on the prevailing discount at the end of each financial quarter.
The companys investment strategy focuses on direct investments, co-investments, and single-asset secondaries, with a tilt towards resilient and high-growth sectors.
The underlying portfolio companies have exhibited strong growth, with a 17% EBITDA growth and a 14% revenue growth during the year.
Financing Strategy
The company optimized its capital structure by refinancing its revolving credit facility and issuing a private placement of US$150 million loan notes.
The company increased the number of credit counterparties and diversified its financing sources, improving its financial flexibility.
The companys net debt to NAV ratio was conservative at 8.1%, and the Board does not expect net leverage to exceed 10% of NAV under normal market conditions.

Vietnams GDP growth exceeded expectations in H1 2024, driven by the processing and manufacturing sectors, with overall domestic consumption also rising. The government has revised its full-year GDP target upwards.

Two of VEILs main bank holdings, MBB and VCB, experienced double-digit share price declines in Q2, but reported positive Q2 results. TCB also reported strong Q2 results with robust credit growth.
Political transitions in Vietnam, including the passing of the General Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, Nguyen Phu Trong, are expected to lead to a smooth transition with a continued commitment to pro-business policies.
VEILs NAV per share as of 28 June was US$9.19, with a total NAV of US$1.8bn. The companys share price decreased 0.4% over the quarter and rose 4.9% year-to-date in USD terms.

Pantheon International Plc, a FTSE 250 investment trust, has released its annual report and accounts for the twelve months ended May 31, 2024. The report outlines the companys financial performance, investment strategy, and future plans. Here is a summary of the key points
Financial Performance
The companys share price increased by 20% during the period.
Net Asset Value (NAV) per share grew by 6.1% during the full year. This was driven by valuation gains across the portfolio and NAV accretion from share buybacks, partially offset by unfavorable currency movements.
The company has a strong long-term track record, with an annualized NAV per share growth of 13.5% over the last 10 years, outperforming public market benchmarks.
Investment Strategy
The company focuses on capturing value for shareholders through a combination of share buybacks and investments in new private equity opportunities.
During the year, the company completed a £200 million share buyback program, which added 4.7% to the NAV.
The company announced a clear capital allocation policy, allocating a portion of adjusted net cash flow to share buybacks based on the prevailing discount at the end of each financial quarter.
The companys investment strategy focuses on direct investments, co-investments, and single-asset secondaries, with a tilt towards resilient and high-growth sectors.
The underlying portfolio companies have exhibited strong growth, with a 17% EBITDA growth and a 14% revenue growth during the year.
Financing Strategy
The company optimized its capital structure by refinancing its revolving credit facility and issuing a private placement of US$150 million loan notes.
The company increased the number of credit counterparties and diversified its financing sources, improving its financial flexibility.
The companys net debt to NAV ratio was conservative at 8.1%, and the Board does not expect net leverage to exceed 10% of NAV under normal market conditions.
Overall, the annual report highlights Pantheon International Plcs strong financial performance, cohesive investment and financing strategies, and commitment to creating value for shareholders.

VEILs unaudited NAV performance for Q2 2024 showed a decline of 4.3% in NAV per share compared to a 5.4% decrease in its reference index, the Vietnam Index (VNI), in USD terms.

Two of VEILs main bank holdings, MBB and VCB, experienced double-digit share price declines in Q2, but reported positive Q2 results. TCB also reported strong Q2 results with robust credit growth.
Political transitions in Vietnam, including the passing of the General Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, Nguyen Phu Trong, are expected to lead to a smooth transition with a continued commitment to pro-business policies.

Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited has released its half-year results for 2024, reporting a 33% decrease in underlying profit attributable to shareholders compared to 2023. The drop was primarily due to non-recurring impairments in Hongkong Land, amounting to a net loss of US$40 million for the company. Despite the impairments, DFI Retails performance improved significantly, with an underlying profit increase of 127%. The group maintains a strong balance sheet and will focus on delivering long-term value and growth in Asia under the leadership of new CEOs in four of its portfolio companies. The interim dividend remains stable at US$0.60 per share.

Wizz Air Holdings Plc has released its unaudited results for the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 F25), showing resilience despite disruptions. The companys ultra-low-cost business model has delivered strong operational and financial performance.
Key highlights include a 1.2% decrease in ASK capacity, 15.3 million passengers carried, and a load factor of 91.0%. Total revenue increased by 1.8% to €1,259.3 million, with a 3.1% rise in total unit revenue (RASK). <mark style="background-color:yellow">EBIT</mark>DA rose by 16.0% to €274.6 million, while operating profit and net profit decreased due to higher depreciation costs and one-off wet lease expenses.
The companys near-term and full-year outlook predicts flat capacity for the first half of F25, with a load factor of 92% and mid-single-digit growth in revenue. Costs are expected to increase, with ex-fuel CASK up by a high single-digit percentage and fuel CASK remaining flat. Net income is forecasted to be in the range of €350-450 million.
Wizz Airs financial position remains solid, with a stable net debt of €4,828.6 million and a leverage ratio below 4.0x. The company continues to focus on operational efficiency and optimizing its most profitable bases while maintaining a positive outlook on demand.

Pantheon International Plc, a FTSE 250 investment trust, has released its annual report and accounts for the twelve months ended May 31, 2024. The report outlines the companys financial performance, investment strategy, and future plans. Here is a summary of the key points
Financial Performance
The companys share price increased by 20% during the period.
Net Asset Value (NAV) per share grew by 6.1% during the full year. This was driven by valuation gains across the portfolio and NAV accretion from share buybacks, partially offset by unfavorable currency movements.
The company has a strong long-term track record, with an annualized NAV per share growth of 13.5% over the last 10 years, outperforming public market benchmarks.
Investment Strategy
The company focuses on capturing value for shareholders through a combination of share buybacks and investments in new private equity opportunities.
During the year, the company completed a £200 million share buyback program, which added 4.7% to the NAV.
The company announced a clear capital allocation policy, allocating a portion of adjusted net cash flow to share buybacks based on the prevailing discount at the end of each financial quarter.
The companys investment strategy focuses on direct investments, co-investments, and single-asset secondaries, with a tilt towards resilient and high-growth sectors.
The underlying portfolio companies have exhibited strong growth, with a 17% EBITDA growth and a 14% revenue growth during the year.
Financing Strategy
The company optimized its capital structure by refinancing its revolving credit facility and issuing a private placement of US$150 million loan notes.
The company increased the number of credit counterparties and diversified its financing sources, improving its financial flexibility.
The companys net debt to NAV ratio was conservative at 8.1%, and the Board does not expect net leverage to exceed 10% of NAV under normal market conditions.
Overall, the annual report highlights Pantheon International Plcs strong financial performance, cohesive investment and financing strategies, and commitment to creating value for shareholders.

Vesuvius plc, a global leader in molten metal flow engineering and technology, has released its unaudited results for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The companys end markets, particularly the foundry industry, remained weak during this period. Despite these challenging market conditions, the Steel Division achieved positive results, demonstrating the resilience of its business model. The Foundry Division, however, faced difficulties due to reduced volumes despite gains in market share, pricing management, and cost reductions. The companys overall trading profit decreased by 0.9% on an underlying basis and 7.4% on a reported basis. The Groups health and safety performance improved, with a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate of 0.64, a reduction from the previous year. Vesuvius plcs cost-saving initiatives are on track, with an initial £6 million in savings expected in 2024 and a run-rate of £10-15 million by the end of the financial year. The interim dividend per share has been increased by 4.4% to 7.1 pence. The companys outlook for the second half of the year remains cautious, with expectations of only a slight improvement in headline trading profit for the full year on a constant currency basis.

Here is a summary of the key points from the second-quarter update for Vietnam Enterprise Investments Limited (VEIL)
VEILs unaudited NAV performance for Q2 2024 showed a decline of 4.3% in NAV per share compared to a 5.4% decrease in its reference index, the Vietnam Index (VNI), in USD terms.
Vietnams GDP growth exceeded expectations in H1 2024, driven by the processing and manufacturing sectors, with overall domestic consumption also rising. The government has revised its full-year GDP target upwards.
The Vietnamese dong (VND) depreciated against the USD in H1 2024, influenced by expected delays in Federal Reserve rate cuts and domestic political movements. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has taken measures to manage this.
VEILs portfolio restructuring to reduce concentration is nearing completion, with increased exposure to sectors such as banks, retail, manufacturing, property, and industrial parks.
The retail sector was the largest contributor to alpha in Q2 2024, with Mobile World Group (MWG) and FPT Retail (FRT) seeing strong returns.
FPT Corporations (FPT) share price rose significantly in Q2, attributed to its AI partnership with NVIDIA and the acquisition of NAC. FPT reported solid H1 2024 results.
The property sector faced challenges in Q2 2024 due to slow pre-sales and subdued earnings, but VEIL remains optimistic about a potential recovery in the second half.
Two of VEILs main bank holdings, MBB and VCB, experienced double-digit share price declines in Q2, but reported positive Q2 results. TCB also reported strong Q2 results with robust credit growth.
Political transitions in Vietnam, including the passing of the General Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, Nguyen Phu Trong, are expected to lead to a smooth transition with a continued commitment to pro-business policies.
VEILs NAV per share as of 28 June was US$9.19, with a total NAV of US$1.8bn. The companys share price decreased 0.4% over the quarter and rose 4.9% year-to-date in USD terms.
VEILs top ten holdings accounted for 60.4% of NAV, with Mobile World Group and Hoa Phat Group being the largest holdings.
The VND depreciated against the USD and GBP in Q2 2024 and year-to-date.

Annual Financial Report

Pantheon International PLC

Pantheon International Plc, a FTSE 250 investment trust, has released its annual report and accounts for the twelve months ended May 31, 2024. The report outlines the companys financial performance, investment strategy, and future plans. Here is a summary of the key points
Financial Performance
The companys share price increased by 20% during the period.
Net Asset Value (NAV) per share grew by 6.1% during the full year. This was driven by valuation gains across the portfolio and NAV accretion from share buybacks, partially offset by unfavorable currency movements.
The company has a strong long-term track record, with an annualized NAV per share growth of 13.5% over the last 10 years, outperforming public market benchmarks.
Investment Strategy
The company focuses on capturing value for shareholders through a combination of share buybacks and investments in new private equity opportunities.
During the year, the company completed a £200 million share buyback program, which added 4.7% to the NAV.
The company announced a clear capital allocation policy, allocating a portion of adjusted net cash flow to share buybacks based on the prevailing discount at the end of each financial quarter.
The companys investment strategy focuses on direct investments, co-investments, and single-asset secondaries, with a tilt towards resilient and high-growth sectors.
The underlying portfolio companies have exhibited strong growth, with a 17% EBITDA growth and a 14% revenue growth during the year.
Financing Strategy
The company optimized its capital structure by refinancing its revolving credit facility and issuing a private placement of US$150 million loan notes.
The company increased the number of credit counterparties and diversified its financing sources, improving its financial flexibility.

Second Quarter Update

Vietnam Enterprise Investments Limited

Here is a summary of the key points from the second-quarter update for Vietnam Enterprise Investments Limited (VEIL)
VEILs unaudited NAV performance for Q2 2024 showed a decline of 4.3% in NAV per share compared to a 5.4% decrease in its reference index, the Vietnam Index (VNI), in USD terms.
Vietnams GDP growth exceeded expectations in H1 2024, driven by the processing and manufacturing sectors, with overall domestic consumption also rising. The government has revised its full-year GDP target upwards.
The Vietnamese dong (VND) depreciated against the USD in H1 2024, influenced by expected delays in Federal Reserve rate cuts and domestic political movements. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has taken measures to manage this.
VEILs portfolio restructuring to reduce concentration is nearing completion, with increased exposure to sectors such as banks, retail, manufacturing, property, and industrial parks.
The retail sector was the largest contributor to alpha in Q2 2024, with Mobile World Group (MWG) and FPT Retail (FRT) seeing strong returns.
FPT Corporations (FPT) share price rose significantly in Q2, attributed to its AI partnership with NVIDIA and the acquisition of NAC. FPT reported solid H1 2024 results.
The property sector faced challenges in Q2 2024 due to slow pre-sales and subdued earnings, but VEIL remains optimistic about a potential recovery in the second half.
Two of VEILs main bank holdings, MBB and VCB, experienced double-digit share price declines in Q2, but reported positive Q2 results. TCB also reported strong Q2 results with robust credit growth.
Political transitions in Vietnam, including the passing of the General Secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee, Nguyen Phu Trong, are expected to lead to a smooth transition with a continued commitment to pro-business policies.
VEILs NAV per share as of 28 June was US$9.19, with a total NAV of US$1.8bn. The companys share price decreased 0.4% over the quarter and rose 4.9% year-to-date in USD terms.
