Investment Objective
At the Annual General Meeting on 4 November 2020, Shareholders voted to amend
the Company's Investment Objective and Policy to that shown below.
The Company's investment objective is to protect the purchasing power of its
capital in real terms, and to participate in enduring economic activities
which lend themselves to genuine capital accumulation and wealth creation.
Investment Policy
The Company will seek to acquire and hold, with no predetermined investment
time horizon, a collection of assets which, in the Directors' judgement, are
well-suited to the avoidance of a permanent loss of capital. These assets will
be comprised of minority participations in the equity, debt or convertible
securities of quoted businesses which the Directors believe are led by
responsible and like-minded managers and suitable for the long-term
compounding of earnings. In addition, to protect its capital as well as to
maintain liquidity for future investments, the Company will keep reserves in
(a) liquid debt instruments such as cash in banks or securities issued by
governments and/or (b) liquid, non-debt, tangible assets such as gold bullion,
whether held indirectly or in physical form.
The Company has no predetermined maximum or minimum levels of exposure to
asset classes, currencies or geographies, and has the ability to invest
globally. These exposures will be monitored by the Board in order to ensure an
adequate spreading of risks. No holding in an individual company or debt
instrument will represent more than 15 per cent. by value of the Company's
total assets at the time of acquisition (such restriction does not, however,
apply to gold bullion or cash balances). The Company's holdings of gold
bullion may be as high as 35 per cent. of total assets at the time of
investment.
Given the Company's investment objective, asset mix and time horizon, the
portfolio will not seek to track any benchmark or index. The Company will not
invest more than 10 per cent. of its total assets in other listed closed-ended
investment funds. The Company will not use derivative instruments for
speculative purposes, nor will it use currency hedges to manage returns in any
currency.
The Company's gearing will not exceed 20 per cent. of net assets at the time
of drawdown.
No material change will be made to the investment policy without the approval
of Shareholders by ordinary resolution.
Chairman's Statement
Dear fellow shareholders,
Results
During the six-month period ended 31 December 2021, the Group's net assets
increased by 8.07 pence per share to 349.26 pence per share. This represents a
total return of 2.36%. The details of this return are outlined in the table
below.

Closing net assets 349.26 2.36 341.19 8.28
Equity Participations
During the half year we sold in aggregate shares worth £1.7 million realising
a gain of £0.4 million (+28%), and we purchased shares worth £2.6 million.
This increased our equity participations from 66.7% to 72.1% of net assets. We
are looking forward to further opportunities to add to our existing holdings.
We sold out of three holdings entirely. We sold our small position in
Fromageries Bel for a 23% gain because the founding family is taking the
business private and delisting the shares. We sold the rest of our Rio Tinto
shares for a 14% gain. Our existing interest in oil and precious metals
producers is already substantial and having a few firms like this in our
collection will go a long way toward preparing us from any inflationary storms
ahead, whether transitory or not. We also sold out of Unilever realising a 6%
loss. The brand strength and their entrenched position in so many countries
remain a wonderful asset, and the shares undervalued, but an undue focus on
managing to a sterile ESG mandate and institutional expectations doesn't sit
well with us. Whenever our priorities differ from the managers the decision to
sell becomes an easy one.
We sold part of our stake in Safilo realising a 95% gain. Despite operating
during two difficult years the turnaround under their new CEO has gone
exceptionally well. Later in the year, Safilo also conducted a rights offering
which eliminated most of their debt burden and enables them to embark on an
investment program after a period of downsizing. We also bought shares in the
offering on very attractive terms.
We reduced our holding in Strix after a period of substantial price
appreciation, realising a 172% gain. Credit goes to our prior investment
manager for buying the shares well. Holding great businesses at high prices is
not a problem for us - we expect most of our holdings to meet these criteria
eventually - but it demands a conviction which for us has to come from a
proven capacity to execute within their specialty for many years. The promise
of future growth in new product categories, though welcome, is not something
our objective places a premium on.
We added four new holdings during the half year: Robertet, the world's
pre-eminent producers of all-natural flavours and fragrances; Kri Kri Milk, a
premium Greek dairy company specialising in exporting ice cream and yogurt;
Crete Plastics, a European producer of masterbatches for plastics
manufacturing and specialty agricultural films; and Karelia Tobacco, a
family-owned Greek cigarette producer serving markets in Southeast Europe and
across the Mediterranean. These are all multi-generational, family-owned
businesses with decades of deep experience in relatively narrow markets. They
have demonstrated a constant drive to reinvest in new capacities and add to
their business strengths, show a history of operating with care and we think
they can develop their markets for decades to come. Though Robertet is 'a
great business at a high price', the other three are smaller companies,
completely unknown outside of their local markets and, fortunately for us,
priced to reflect their relative obscurity. Though not small in any business
sense, these companies are controlled by the founding families and a fairly
small group of other real, long-term owners. We count ourselves among them.
For our existing holdings, we continued to add to Cembre, Lucas Bols, Hal
Trust and Nedap.
Legacy Assets
We sold out of our three largest legacy fixed income holdings, generating
£629k in proceeds and realising a 3% gain. This reduced the legacy holdings
down to 0.4% of net assets and marks the end of the transition from the prior
portfolio. The fixed 5% to 6% yields on these instruments were once alluring,
but in the present inflationary environment they look for our purposes like
wasting assets. It's better that the proceeds be invested in business where
time is our ally rather than having it count down the erosion of our capital.
Precious Metals
With consumer price inflation finally arriving in the UK our reasons for
holding gold are unchanged - they form a liquid reserve that we believe will
retain its purchasing power across periods of inflation and monetary disorder.
As with our stakes in businesses, the intended time horizon of our holding
matters a great deal. Gold is not suitable as a short-term hedge against
rising consumer prices, and though one could speculate on its price that is
not our reason for holding it. Gold has the curious property that as we extend
our gaze further into the future, and as we broaden our understanding of the
myriad effects of monetary debasement, the more suitable it appears.
There were no changes to our gold holdings in the period, as new equity
purchases were largely offset against the sales of other shares and our
remaining legacy assets.
Income and costs
Total income for the first six months came to £162k, while expenses totalled
£175k. There were no extraordinary expenses in the period, and we believe
current expenses are indicative of ongoing expenses for the Group. At our
present size, we expect investment income to largely - but not completely -
offset expenses for the full year.
Foreign Exchange
The Group reports its results in Sterling, but as of 31 December 2021 91.0% of
our portfolio was invested in companies, securities and reserve assets
denominated in other currencies and we expect this to continue in the
future. Because of this shift any strengthening or weakening of Sterling
against these currencies will now have a direct impact on our financial
results in future periods. We will not employ any currency hedging to manage
the returns as expressed in Sterling as we believe the exercise would be both
costly and counter to our purpose.
Although we have had a total return of some £385k in the half year, this
arises from our capital rather than income and the Directors do not propose to
pay an interim dividend.
Outlook
The Board welcomes dialogue with our Shareholders who will find details of how
to contact us at the Company's website, www.theinvestmentcompanyplc.co.uk.
In these uncertain and volatile times, we believe the Company is well
positioned to provide Shareholders with capital preservation and wealth
creation over the long-term. Furthermore, we continue to evaluate
opportunities to grow the capital base.

1. Significant accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements, which comprise the unaudited
results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Abport Limited and
New Centurion Trust Limited, together referred to as the "Group", have been
prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by the United Kingdom, and as
applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the AIC SORP,
except to any extent where it is not consistent with the requirements of IFRS.
The accounting policies are as set out in the Report and Accounts for the year
ended 30 June 2021.
The half-year financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS
34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
The financial information contained in this half year financial report does
not constitute statutory accounts as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The
financial information for the periods ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December
2020 have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's Auditor. The figures
and financial information for the year ended 30 June 2021 are an extract from
the latest published audited statements, and do not constitute the statutory
accounts for that year. Those accounts have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies and include a report of the Auditor, which was unqualified and did
not contain a statement under either Section 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies
Act 2006.
Going Concern
The Directors have made an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern. This has included consideration of portfolio liquidity, the
Group's financial position in respect of its cash flows and investment
commitments (of which there are none of significance), the working
arrangements of the key service providers, continued eligibility to be
approved as an investment trust company and the continued impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the Directors are not aware of any material
uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to
continue as a going concern.
The Directors are satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in
business for the foreseeable future being a period of at least 12 months from
the date that these financial statements were approved. Therefore, the
financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
Segmental Reporting
The Directors are of the opinion that the Group is engaged in a single segment
of business, being investment business.

8. Fair Value Hierarchy
The fair value is the amount at which an asset could be sold in an ordinary
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, other than a
forced or liquidation sale. The Group measures fair values using the following
hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the
measurements.
Categorisation within the hierarchy has been determined on the basis of the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the
relevant asset as follows:
Level 1 - valued using quoted prices, unadjusted in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - valued by reference to valuation techniques using observable inputs
for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
Level 3 - valued by reference to valuation techniques using inputs that are
not based on observable market data for the asset or liability.
The table below sets out fair value measurement of financial instruments as at
31 December 2021, by the level in the fair value hierarchy into which the fair
value measurement is categorised.
