Income from our portfolio companies was comparable to the previous year at £151,159 (2019: £124,766). As an operating principle, the Company does not charge high fees for access to our expertise or as invested capital is put to work within our portfolio companies to drive growth and value creation. Total investment income increased by £1.7 million, or 412%, from £0.4 million in 2019 to £2.1 million in 2020. The fair value increase was driven primarily by the Wyld Networks fair value uplift recognised of £2.6 million after an offset of foreign exchange losses. Specifically, Device Authority is valued in US dollars and because of the pound strengthening during 2020 this resulted in a £0.4 million non-cash exchange rate loss as compared to a £0.6 million non-cash exchange rate loss in 2019.
