New Century AIM VCT2 plc
For the six months to 30 June 2011
Chairman's Statement
During the interim period to the 30th June 2011, the FTSE AIM index declined in value by 8.1% and the fund slipped in value by 1.55%.
During the period we made three further qualifying investments. We bought Angel Biotech, In-Deed and Music Festivals.
We continue to take a cautious approach towards new investments and maintaining a wide spread of investments.
