PIP's valuation policy for private equity funds is based on the latest valuations reported by the managers of the funds in which PIP has holdings. In the case of PIP's valuation as at 31 December 2023, 9% of reported valuations are dated 31 December 2023 or later, 83% are dated 30 September 2023, 8% are dated 30 June 2023. Of the 9% of valuations dated 31 December 2023 or later, 7.5% reflect the mark-to-market fair value adjustment for PIP's listed company holdings.

At 31 December 2023, PIP's private equity assets stood at £2,397m, whilst net available cash balances^ were £39m. The Asset Linked Note^^ ("ALN") outstanding as at 31 December 2023 amounted to £29m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £779m as at 31 December 2023, calculated using exchange rates at that date. PIP maintains a five-year £500m^^^ multi-tranche, multi-currency revolving credit facility. As at 31 December 2023, £135m was drawn down under the loan facility, resulting in a net debt to NAV ratio of 5.5%.^^^^

New Investments

PIP made £29.4m of new commitments during the month, which were to three primary funds. These were:

A £16.1m primary commitment to Balderton Growth II, a European growth equity fund.

A £9.9m primary commitment to Balderton Capital IX, a European venture capital fund.

A £3.4m primary commitment to Accel XVI, a North American venture capital fund.

During the month, PIP invested £6.4m in share buybacks, acquiring 2,140,743 shares at a weighted average price of 299.2p per share. This price represented an average discount of 38.8% to the prevailing NAV per share at the time of the transactions.

*Figures are stated net of movements associated with the ALN share of the reference portfolio. Valuation movement includes the mark-to-market fair value adjustment of listed company holdings.

** Ratio of net available cash, portfolio value and undrawn loan facility to outstanding commitments. Outstanding commitments relating to funds outside their investment period (>13 years old) were excluded from the calculation as there is a low likelihood of these being drawn. This amounted to £43.7m as at 31 December 2023.

***Based on the change in the ordinary share price over the period.

****Operating expenses, financing costs and withholding taxes on investment distributions.

^Net available cash calculated as cash and net current assets / (liabilities) less undistributed net cashflows associated with the ALN.  

^^Unlisted 10-year note issued on 31 October 2017 whose cost and repayments are linked to a reference portfolio consisting of the Company's older vintage funds.

^^^PIP maintains a £500m multi-currency credit facility. The overall loan facility comprises facilities of US$487.7m and €115.7m and had a sterling equivalent value of £482.9m as at 31 December 2023. As at 31 December 2023, PIP had drawn down £135.4m of the loan facility.

^^^^Net debt calculated as drawn loan facility and the outstanding balance of the asset linked note less net available cash. Note that the ALN is not considered in the calculation of gross borrowings or the loan-to-value ratio, as defined in PIP's loan facility agreement.

Annualised Performance as at 31 December 2023^^^^^

^^^^^PIP was launched on 18 September 1987. The performance figures for PIP assume reinvestment of dividends and capital.
