Bluefield Solar (LON:BSIF), a sterling income fund that invests in UK-based solar assets, announces its net asset value ("NAV") as at 30 September 2017. Unless otherwise noted herein, the information provided in this announcement is unaudited.
The Company's NAV at 30 September 2017 was £398.9 million, or 107.85 pence per Ordinary Share, compared to the NAV at 30 June 2017 of £409 million, or 110.49 pence per Ordinary Share.
