- Growing AUM and NAV with cash for dividends

H117 was an active period for the direct investment portfolio, with a new direct investment in a listed special purpose acquisition vehicle and a further reduction in its Migros stake. Alternative assets under management have continued to grow and positive investment performance has seen NAV, adjusted for dividends, grow. We forecast positive returns from DeA Capital’s diverse investment portfolio and positive momentum in asset management, AUM and earnings, while prospective cash inflow from maturing private equity funds would mitigate the risk of a rise in market volatility. We forecast continuing high distributions, generating a yield of 8.8%, and our sum-of –the parts valuation is now €1.91 per share.
