I present the Company’s half-yearly report for the six-month period ended 30 September 2020.
When I last reported to shareholders in July, the UK was just starting to come out of the first lockdown, and it was clear that some of the portfolio companies had been significantly negatively impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Since then, we have seen the setback of the second wave and a further government-imposed lockdown.
Although some investments have been further hindered by the ongoing pandemic, particularly those within the leisure and hospitality sectors, many have now been able to adapt to the conditions and some have been able to benefit from the new environment, for example in the education technology sector.
