Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAG) reported a 5.9% NAV (defined as equity per share) increase in Q121 (ending December 2020) driven by the improved earnings prospects of its portfolio companies across sectors. Fee income improved markedly to €11.1m (Q120: €7.4m) as DBAG Fund VIII started investing in August 2020 and management’s guidance for FY21 remains €42–44m (vs €30.6m in FY20).
