Hardman & Co Research: ICG Enterprise Trust (ICGT): November Investor Forum - Defensive growth leads to reliable outperformance

ICGT gives all investors a liquid, managed option to replicate the above-market,
compounding returns and risk diversification that institutional managers get by
accessing PE. An investment in ICGT, made on the period-end date in any of the past
20 years, would have outperformed the FTSE All-Share Index (Total Return) if still held
on 31 July 2021. To that date, it saw 247% 10-year share-price growth, outperforming
the index by 156%. It has consistently delivered superior returns across cycles (fiveyear NAV per share total return 16% p.a., with only two down quarters in past 20
years). In our view, the discount to NAV (15%) offers additional value.
