Mobeus Income & Growth 4 VCT plc presents an Interim Management Statement for the quarter ended 31 March 2022. The statement also includes relevant financial information between the end of the period and the date of this statement.
NET ASSET VALUE AND TOTAL RETURN PER SHARE
| At 31 March 2022 (unaudited) | At 31 December 2021 (audited) |
Net assets attributable to shareholders | £93.72 million | £92.79 million |
Shares in issue | 91,259,644 | 83,389,721 |

The NAV per share has decreased by 8.58 pence in the quarter (a decrease of 7.7% from the opening NAV per share).
