GROW - Molton Ventures sold its Revolut stake….20x profit!
“ Molten Ventures has reported a strong first half of the year, with its net asset value per share rising 7.2% to around 719p and gross portfolio value increasing 5.5% to £1.43 billion.
The venture capital firm realised £62 million in cash proceeds during the period, following £135m last year.
Exits achieved an average 2x multiple on invested capital, including Revolut at 20x, Freetrade at 1.5x and Lyst at 0.7x.
Another £33m was deployed into new and follow-on investments, including Duel, General Index and Speedinvest Continuation Fund I, while a further £38m has been returned to shareholders through buybacks, with an additional £10m now committed.
The London-based firm said its portfolio remains resilient and well-funded, with strong growth across core holdings in FinTech, space, AI, and digital health.
The company ended the period with £76m in group cash, another £23m from managed funds, and an undrawn £60m revolving credit facility.”
So if you are looking to get some exposure ahead of IPO then the only other one I know of is INOV but I am sure there are others.
Also if you want space x then MNTN is worth a look.
But re the IPO’s they just don’t seem to be so sexy now with many companies opting to stay private or even go private!
Usual caveats
