April Investment Highlights

During April, the amortising direct loans have continued to perform well; we continue to receive capital and interest as scheduled for these loans.

We received a tax credit from Australia in relation to a film finance and have received sales proceeds for our other film financing positions. Furthermore, we have received the quarterly distribution from our Irish SME investment. This distribution included some capital return as the investment is now in its harvest period. These receipts allow us to continue to make regular distributions to Shareholders.

There is one performing loan remaining with our final peer to peer lending platform, which is due to mature in August 2021.

Please note, we no longer hedge our foreign exchange exposures and provide details of the USD and EUR allocations in the data provided in the factsheet to allow shareholders to consider their own hedging, if they so required.
