Jeremy Tigue, Chairman, commented:
“These results continue your Company’s excellent long-term performance, with both the net asset value and share price outperforming the FTSE All-Share Index over one, three, five and ten years.
“I have been a Board member of the Company for almost a decade and have observed first-hand the evolution of the investment portfolio and the significant shareholder value created by the team’s excellent long-term track record and highly selective investment approach.
“The team’s move to ICG early in 2016 has allowed ICG Enterprise Trust to further build on its flexible mandate. I am delighted with the excellent progress we have made against a number of strategic goals and believe that the strategic benefits of the team’s move to ICG will continue to add significant shareholder value and drive outperformance of the wider market.”
