HarbourVest Global Private Equity Limited ("HVPE" or the
"Company"), a FTSE 250 investment company with global exposure to
private companies, managed by HarbourVest Partners, today announces
its estimated Net Asset Value ("NAV") at 30 November 2023.
HVPE provides a complete private equity solution for public
investors, managing the portfolio through four phases of the
private equity cycle to create value: Commitments, Investment,
Growth, and Realisation.
Commitments
During November 2023, HVPE made one new commitment to a global
stewardship co-investment fund. The Company's Investment Pipeline
(unfunded commitments) decreased by $4 million from the prior
month, following capital called for investments, as highlighted
below, and foreign exchange movements. The Investment Pipeline
totalled $2.6 billion at 30 November 2023.
Investment
During November 2023, HVPE invested $40 million into HarbourVest
funds (compared to $51 million in October 2023). The largest
individual investment during the month was made to a 2021 vintage
global direct co-investment fund.
Growth
At 30 November 2023, HVPE's estimated NAV per share was $49.83
(GBP39.48), compared to the 31 October 2023 estimate of $49.08
(GBP40.38). This represents a 1.5% increase in US dollar terms over
the previous month and was mainly driven by valuation increases
from the fund of funds portfolio as well as foreign exchange
movements.
The valuation breakdown of the HVPE portfolio as reported here
is as follows: 7% as at 30 November 2023 (representing the public
companies in the portfolio), 81% actual 30 September 2023 and 12%
actual 30 June 2023. Consistent with previous estimated NAV
reports, valuations are also adjusted for foreign exchange
movements, cash flows, and any known material events to 30 November
2023. This compares to 6% actual 31 October 2023 (representing the
public companies in the portfolio), 8% actual 30 September 2023 and
86% actual 30 June 2023, used in the 31 October 2023 estimated NAV
per share calculation.
Realisation
HVPE received distributions of $33 million from HarbourVest
funds during November 2023 (compared to $8 million in October
2023). The largest source of proceeds came from a 2018 vintage
global infrastructure and real assets fund.
During November 2023, there were a total of 21 known M&A
transactions and IPOs across HVPE's underlying portfolio, compared
to October's total of 17, and a last 12-month average of 19. These
were broken down into 19 M&A transactions and two IPOs.
Balance Sheet and Credit Facility
During October 2023, HVPE initiated a $75 million draw on its
credit facility. These funds were received on 20 November 2023 and
have been included in the accounting figures as at 30 November
2023.
At 30 November 2023, HVPE had $525 million available on its
credit facility. Borrowing at the HarbourVest fund level amounted
to $516 million, a decrease of $42 million from the previous month.
HVPE's cash and cash equivalents ($150 million) and available
credit ($525 million) totalled $675 million.
Additional detail about HVPE's NAV and investment
diversification can be found on HVPE's website, in the Monthly
Update for 30 November 2023 .
