- During the quarter, two UK loans and one Portuguese loan fully repaid, realising net proceeds of £28.2m, and providing headroom to invest in new deals at enhanced IRRs |
• Cash
- Cash reserves remain targeted at between 5% to 10% of NAV |
- As at 30 June 2023, cash was £27.8m. |
• Dividend

• Opportunities
- The present macroeconomic backdrop is set to continue through 2023, resulting in further constraints in bank lending and alternative sources of capital. The opportunity to provide senior loans at low risk points, for higher margins, is increasingly evident |
