SMALL-CAP - WINNERS

abrdn European Logistics Income PLC, up 3.9% at 70.13 pence, 12-month range 62.33p-105p. The investment fund focusing on European logistics real estate says net asset value per share at June 30 falls to 108.3 euro cents from 111.2 cents at March 31. However, Troels Andersen, abrdn's lead fund manager, says the continental European logistics sector has "held up relatively well" despite headwinds of base rate rises and economic pressures. "The slowing capital value decline across the portfolio this quarter reflects improving investor sentiment... Indicators suggest that some regions may be starting to see the early stages of this reversal in sentiment with buying interest returning for well-placed logistics portfolios and the hoped-for early stages of recovery in values," he says.
