SQN Asset Finance Income Fund Limited (the "Company"), the only diversified equipment leasing fund listed in the UK, is pleased to provide its first monthly Net Asset Value ('NAV') and investment update since being admitted to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange on 14 July 2014.
As at 31 July 2014, the Company's unaudited, estimated NAV per share was 98.02 pence per share.
As at 13 August 2014 the Board had approved £68.8 million of investments, of which £33.3 million are assets identified in the Company's prospectus published in June 2014 (the "Prospectus") and £36.5 million are new investments across the energy, agriculture, modular accommodation and IT sectors. A total of £13.8 million of these approved transactions have been funded with the balance expected to be funded over the coming months.
The Company continues to undertake due diligence on both the remaining assets set out in the Prospectus and a pipeline of new opportunities which has grown significantly since admission.
