News Release

                       

Guernsey, 31 October 2022

 

NAV increases by 1.0% in September

 

·      Princess Private Equity Holding Limited's ("Princess" or the "Company") net asset value increased by 1.0% to EUR 14.27 per share, total NAV at EUR 986.7 million

·      Currency movements were positive (+2.1%) and portfolio developments were negative (-0.7%)

·      Princess invested EUR 27.0 million and received distributions of EUR 2.2 million

 

In September, Princess invested a total of EUR 27.0 million, of which EUR 17.4 million was invested in Foundation Risk Partners ("FRP"), a specialist insurance broker in the US. Headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, FRP assists businesses and private individuals in navigating the complex US insurance landscape. The company's areas of expertise include commercial insurance, employee benefits, personal insurance, and risk management services. It has a footprint of 139 offices across 18 states, with a primary focus in Florida, New Jersey, New York, and California. The company generates revenues from fees on the initial placement and the recurring annual renewal of insurance policies, leading to highly predictable cash flows. Insurance brokerage is a large market that has proven highly resilient through economic cycles as insurance coverage is a non-discretionary expense. The market further benefits from several transformative trends including the emergence of new risks, such as cyber and social media exposure; the increase in the cost and frequency of litigation; and an evolving regulatory environment that emphasizes the need for insurance advice and coverage. Partners Group will work with management to drive further growth at FRP and expand its presence across the US.

 

EUR 8.8 million was invested in Accell Group, a manufacturer of bicycles and bicycle parts and accessories ("P&A"). Founded in 1904 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Accell Group is one of the largest producers of e-bikes and bicycle parts globally. The company's core bike brands include Haibike, Batavus, Lapierre, Raleigh, Koga, and Babboe, as well as the company's proprietary P&A brand, XLC. Accell Group has more than 3,000 employees across 15 countries and production facilities located in the Netherlands, Hungary, Turkey, France and Germany.

 

Princess received distributions of EUR 2.2 million during the month, predominantly from the mature legacy fund portfolio.
