Report

- FY17 confirmed as an exceptional year

Deutsche Beteiligungs (DBAG) reported a 22.1% NAV return for the first nine months of FY17, and management guidance is for a further uplift in the final quarter, making it an exceptional year in terms of performance as well as portfolio activity. DBAG’s share price returns have significantly outperformed NAV returns over the last year, and the shares are currently trading at a substantial premium to NAV. In our view, this implies that the market is discounting strong future returns, arguably reflecting recent positive strategic developments that confirm DBAG’s ability to complete transactions successfully across a broader opportunity set.
