This particular uplift equates to an increase in DE VCT’s Net Asset Value per share (“NAV”) of 3.8p per share. The valuation of all unquoted investments in the portfolio will be reviewed for the Half Yearly Report for the six months to 30 September 2021.

 

The audited NAV as at 31 March 2021 was 50.0p per share. Applying this uplift to the 31 March 2021 NAV gives an updated unaudited NAV of 53.8p per share.
