In the case of PIP's valuation at 31 May 2018, the majority of reported valuations (accounting for circa 96% by value) are dated 31 March 2018 or later.

At 31 May 2018, PIP's private equity assets stood at £1,275m, whilst cash balances were £162m. The Asset Linked Note*** ("ALN") outstanding as at 31 May 2018 amounted to £132m. Undrawn commitments to investments stood at £440m as at 31 May 2018, calculated using exchange rates at that date. PIP's multi-currency revolving credit facilities comprise a US$138.8m facility and a €66.6m facility, which remained completely undrawn as at 31 May 2018.

PIP's portfolio generated net cash of £23.4m during the month, with distributions of £29.6m relative to £6.2m of calls from existing commitments to private equity funds. PIP made a quarterly ALN repayment of £13.9m during the month.

This included a £1.8m co-investment alongside CVC Capital Partners in Gas Natural, a Spanish natural gas and energy utilities company, and a £1.1m co-investment alongside Abris Capital in Velvet Care, a manufacturer of tissue paper in the CEE region.

*Valuation gains are stated net of valuation movements, investment income and foreign exchange movements attributable to the ALN share of the reference portfolio.  The total effect was a reduction in valuation gains of 9.8p and 20.6p for the month and financial year to 31 May 2018 respectively.

**Withholding taxes on investment distributions.
