Draper Esprit’s management confirmed that H122 NAV per share is expected to be not less than 885p (31 March 2021: 743p), growth of 19% in the period.

Management also confirmed an imminent rebranding, including a change of name ‘to better reflect [the group’s] strategy in its latest phase of growth’.
