CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

I am pleased to present the Company's half-year report for the six months
ended 31st August 2025 (the 'Period') as we continue to progress through our
managed wind-down process, following shareholder approval at an Extraordinary
General Meeting of the Company held on 20th December 2024 to adopt a new
investment objective and enter a managed wind-down.

Managed Wind-Down and Redemptions

As I have previously reported, redemption requests have been submitted in all
of the Company's underlying strategies. The Company has now liquidated its
holdings in the listed real assets (with the exception of a small holding in
Home REIT plc) and Mezzanine debt strategies, as well as the majority of its
holdings in both the Infrastructure and Transportation strategies.

Following these realisations, the Company made its first compulsory partial
redemption of shares and returned approximately £33.7 million
to shareholders on 28th February 2025. The Company redeemed 34,748,578 shares
for cancellation at a redemption price of 97.0465p per share. A second
compulsory partial redemption of shares followed on 8th August 2025 with the
Company returning approximately £85 million. The Company redeemed 95,613,410
shares for cancellation at a redemption price of 89.116731p per share. There
remain 75,458,150 shares in issue, representing around 40% of those in issue
as at 20th December 2024.

These two redemptions accounted for approximately 60% of the Company's assets
as at 31st December 2024, exceeding the targeted redemption of 55% of the
assets by the end of 2025, as outlined in the Company's announcement made on
19th June 2025. At the end of the Period, the Company remained invested in the
Real Estate, Transportation and Infrastructure strategies. It is our
intention, once the distributable cash balance reaches approximately £7.5
million to make a further distribution to shareholders at the end of Q1 2026,
subject to retaining sufficient cash to cover the Company's running expenses.

The Board is aware that shareholders are eager to understand the likely timing
and quantum of future capital distributions. At the end of the Period, the
Company had 78% of its assets in the Real Estate strategies. As we have
previously reported, the redemptions from these strategies are taking longer
than originally envisaged. The Board continues to target the return of more
than 80% of assets (held as 31st December 2024) by the end of 2026, but we are
aware that the timing of redemptions from illiquid assets is influenced by a
range of factors, which are outside the control of the Board and the
Investment Manager. These include prevailing redemption queues, transaction
activity, market conditions, exchange rates, and commercial considerations at
the underlying strategy level, which determine the timing and Sterling value
of the redemption receipts. In consequence, any estimates regarding the
quantum and timetable of redemptions are, and will continue to be, subject to
revision.

The Board continues to monitor the costs of operating the Company in its
current form and, with that in mind, the Company's listing will be maintained
only for so long as the Directors believe it to be cost-effective and in the
interests of shareholders. We have no plans for an imminent delisting, but we
will review this option again at the end of 2026.

Performance

JARA's return on net asset value ('NAV') for the Period was -1.5%, primarily
attributable to the adverse impact of the weakening of the US dollar against
Sterling. Given the fall in the Company's share price from 84.8p on 1st March
2025 to 70.0p on 31st August 2025, the return to shareholders over the Period
was -17.5%. At close of business on 26th November 2025, the Company's share
price was 77.6p, representing a discount to NAV of 19.2%.

The Investment Managers' Report reviews the Company's performance and gives
commentary on the investment strategy and portfolio performance over the
Period.

Dividends

As previously stated, the Company has ceased to pay dividends. Any income
generated and accumulated from the remaining holdings will be distributed as
part of the Company's capital redemption process.

Currency Exposure

In view of the impact of currency movements on the Company's capital (as
previously reported to shareholders) any cash received by the Company as part
of the realisation process will be converted into Sterling as soon as
practicable and will be held by the Company as cash on deposit and/or in
Sterling liquid cash equivalents securities pending its return to
shareholders.

Discount and Share Buybacks

Over the Period, the Company's discount to NAV widened, ending at 25.1%. As
previously stated, the Board has taken the decision to suspend buybacks of the
Company's own shares and accordingly did not seek shareholder authority at the
Company's Annual General Meeting to buy back shares.

Stay Informed

The Company will continue to release monthly NAVs to the market, as well as
quarterly NAVs with more detailed commentary at the end of November, February,
May and August, all via the London Stock Exchange's Regulatory News Service
for the remaining strategies.

I would like to thank our shareholders for their support and understanding as
we continue to manage the wind-down of the Company in the most speedy and
cost-efficient manner, while also being dependent on returns from the
strategies.

INVESTMENT MANAGERS' REPORT

Market review

From 1st March to 31st August 2025, both the U.S. and the U.K. navigated an
environment of resilient growth, paired with elevated policy and inflation
risks. Growth remained stronger in the U.S., while the U.K. faced more
headwinds.

U.S. GDP and labour-market indicators held up, inflation hovered just under 3%
year-on-year, and the Federal Reserve kept rates unchanged, signalling
patience. U.K. growth slowed noticeably, inflation remained stickily above
target, and the Bank of England maintained a cautious stance amid the mixed
outlook. U.S. equities outperformed, fuelled by earnings momentum and
technology/growth strength; domestically focused U.K. stocks lagged, weighed
by weak growth and inflation concerns. Elevated valuations and policy risk
suggest greater selectivity is required. For fixed income, U.S. yields edged
higher on inflation- and policy-related uncertainty, while investment-grade
credit spreads tightened modestly. In the U.K., gilt yields stayed elevated
amid weak growth and inflation tension, leaving fixed income as a nuanced
opportunity set rather than a broad safe haven.

After a surge of fear and uncertainty post 'Liberation Day', the U.S. economy
and capital markets appear to have calmed down, with most metrics back to
levels prior to the tariff announcements. Real estate capital markets have
also settled down. Not only are spreads back to 2024 levels, but for the first
time since 2022 borrowing is available for all major property types. U.S. real
estate saw improving transaction volumes and signs of recovery, with five
consecutive quarters of positive returns since Q3 2024.

The performance of APAC real estate was largely positive. Most industrial
markets experienced steady occupiers' demand, however Greater China faced
challenges due to weaker consumption. In the office sector, leasing activity
in Korea and Singapore remained resilient, and Japan's multi-family sector
maintained stronger rent growth momentum, supported by favourable fundamentals
and solid wage growth. Additionally, with borrowing costs reducing, some APAC
markets are beginning to experience a slight compression in yields.

Performance Review

In terms of performance, the portfolio's asset composition changed
significantly during the Period as a result of the two capital redemptions to
investors. To provide greater clarity and transparency, we review performance
across each of the two quarters within the six-month Period.

Over the three months to 31st May 2025, JARA's NAV total return measured in
sterling was -5.5%. In local currency terms all strategies delivered positive
returns, with private transportation contributing +1.3%, private real estate
equity contributing +0.9%, and private infrastructure contributing +0.1%(1).
Sterling(2) strengthened against the underlying currencies in the portfolio,
resulting in a net negative currency impact over the Company's quarter to 31st
May 2025.

Over the three months to 31st August 2025, JARA's NAV total return in GBP was
+4.2%. In local currency terms, all strategies delivered positive returns,
with private transportation contributing +0.3%, private real estate equity
contributing +0.7%, and private infrastructure contributing minimally due to
its limited remaining allocation(3). Whilst Sterling(4) marginally
strengthened against the US dollar in the quarter, on a look through basis
Sterling weakened against the underlying currencies in the portfolio,
resulting in a net positive currency impact over the Company's quarter to 31st
August 2025.

(1)     The local return contribution is calculated based on the NAV
snapshot as of 31st May 2025, excluding cash held in JPM Liquidity Funds.

(2)     The GBP/USD exchange rate was 1.34855 as at 31st May 2025, versus
1.25915 as at 28th February 2025. Currency impact does not factor in an
offsetting gain/loss from the hedged infrastructure strategy, which is priced
as at 31st March 2025.

(3)     The local return contribution is calculated based on the NAV
snapshot as of 31st August 2025, excluding cash held in JPM Liquidity Funds.

(4)     The GBP/USD exchange rate was 1.35105 as at 31st August 2025,
versus 1.34855 as at 31st May 2025. Currency impact does not factor in an
offsetting gain/loss from the hedged infrastructure strategy, which is priced
as at 30th June 2025.

As noted in the Chairman's Statement, since the start of the wind-down, the
Company has returned two tranches of capital to shareholders: approximately
£34 million in February 2025 and approximately £85 million in August 2025.
As of August 2025, JARA had requested redemptions for all underlying
strategies and is expected to return more than 80% of assets to shareholders
by the end of calendar 2026, with the balance of unredeemed investments being
represented predominantly by real estate holdings. This is consistent with the
previous managed wind-down update.

The Company's remaining portfolio consists of illiquid strategies, which will
be realised over varying timeframes. The timing of redemptions from these
illiquid assets is influenced by a range of factors. These factors include
prevailing redemption queues, transaction activity, market conditions,
exchange rates, and commercial considerations at the underlying strategy
level, all of which affect both the timing and the sterling value of
redemption receipts. As a result, any estimates regarding the amount and
schedule of redemptions are, and will continue to be, subject to revision.

INTERIM MANAGEMENT REPORT

The Company is required to make the following disclosures in its half year
report.

Principal and Emerging Risks

The principal and emerging risks faced by the Company fall into the following
broad categories: investment management and performance, operational,
regulatory, environmental and global. Information on each of these areas is
given in the Company's Strategic Report within the Annual Report and Financial
Statements for the year ended 28th February 2025.

Since the year end, following the redemptions in some of the strategies, the
Board has identified concentration risk as a principal risk as the number of
Company's holdings reduce. The estimated redemption timetable will ultimately
result in two strategies being held in the portfolio. Whilst there is little
that the Board can do to mitigate this risk, the Board is comforted that the
assets within the strategies are diversified across sectors and geographies.

The Board acknowledges that at the 2024 Annual General Meeting, the Company's
continuation vote did not pass, and has made the decision to place the Company
into a managed wind-down. Please refer to the Chairman's Statement above.

Related Parties Transactions

During the first six months of the current financial year, no transactions
with related parties have taken place which have materially affected
the financial position or the performance of the Company during the period.

Going Concern

Notwithstanding that the Company is in a managed wind-down the Directors have
prepared the interim financial statements on a going concern basis, focusing
on the Company's financial viability. They are required to assess whether the
Company has adequate resources to continue operations for at least 12 months.
In making this assessment, the Directors considered the Company's revenue
forecast and net cash position. The Company meets its liquidity needs through
cash resources and ongoing quarterly income from the strategies in which the
Company remains invested.

Directors' Responsibilities

The Board of Directors confirms that, to the best of its knowledge:

(i) the condensed set of financial statements contained within the half yearly
financial report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting
Standards 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and gives a true and fair view of
the state of affairs of the Company and of the assets, liabilities, financial
position and net loss of the Company, as at 31st August 2025, as required by
the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules 4.2.4R; and

(ii)     the interim management report includes a fair review of the
information required by 4.2.7R and 4.2.8R of the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules.

In order to provide these confirmations, and in preparing these financial
statements, the Directors are required to:

•   select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

•   make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and
prudent;

•   state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial
statements; and

•   prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business;

and the Directors confirm that they have done so.

defined in IAS1 (revised).

All items in the above statement derive from continuing operations. No
operations were acquired or discontinued in the period/year.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended 31st August 2025.

1.  General information

The Company is a closed-ended investment company incorporated in accordance
with the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008. The address of its registered office
is Level 3, Mill Court, La Charroterie, St Peter Port, Guernsey GY11EJ.

The principal activity of the Company is to realise all existing assets in the
Company's portfolio in an orderly manner and make timely returns of capital to
shareholders.

The Company was incorporated on 22nd February 2019. It was admitted to the
premium listing category of the Official List of the Financial Conduct
Authority and to trading on the Main Market and had its first day of trading
on 24th September 2019. Following shareholder approval, the Company was placed
into a managed wind down in December 2024.

The information contained within the condensed financial statements in this
half year report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditor.

Investment objective

The Company's investment objective is to realise all existing assets in the
Company's portfolio in an orderly manner and make timely returns of capital to
shareholders.

Investment policy

The Company will pursue its investment objective by effecting an orderly
realisation of its assets. The Company will cease to make any new investments
in private funds or managed accounts managed or advised by entities within
J.P. Morgan Asset Management. The Company will cease to undertake capital
expenditure except as deemed necessary or desirable by the Board in connection
with the realisation.

Going concern

At the fifth Annual General Meeting, the Company, in line with its Articles of
Incorporation, was subject to a continuation vote by its shareholders. The
vote did not pass, indicating a lack of support for the future of the
Company's operations. Consequently, the Board, having consulted with the
Company's major shareholders and considered all options available, made the
decision to place the Company into a managed wind-down. Subsequently, on 20th
December 2024, shareholders approved a change in investment objective and
investment policy, allowing the Company to undergo an orderly realisation of
assets, returning capital to shareholders.

The assessment of the Company's going concern status considers two distinct
aspects. First, no material uncertainties related to the Company's ability to
meet its liabilities as they fall due have been identified. The Company
presently has sufficient resources to cover its foreseeable financial
obligations.

Second, uncertainty exists regarding the timeframe for the Company's continued
operations as a going concern during the voluntary wind-down period. This
uncertainty arises from the inherent challenges in predicting the timing and
successful completion of redemptions from the underlying strategies necessary
to return proceeds to shareholders. The speed and efficiency of these
divestments will significantly impact the length of time the Company remains
operational. As at the date of this report, based on the Investment Manager's
latest estimates, the Board now expects that the orderly realisation of the
remaining real assets will extend into calendar year 2027, at the very least.

Notwithstanding the decision to place the Company into a managed wind-down,
the Directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis,
focusing on the Company's financial viability. They are required to assess
whether the Company has adequate resources to continue operations for at least
12 months. In making this assessment, the Directors considered the Company's
revenue forecast for income from the strategies in which the Company remains
invested and its net cash position. In terms of the longer viability of the
Company, the Board has assessed its current position and the period over which
its assets are likely to be realised and agreed that a three year period
ending 28th February 2028 was appropriate. There is however, no guarantee on
this timeline.

The Board has therefore determined that it is appropriate to continue to
prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.

 

2.  Material accounting policy information

Basis of preparation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), which comprise standards
and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board
('IASB'), the IFRS Interpretations Committee and interpretations approved by
the International Accounting Standards Committee ('IASC') that remain in
effect and the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in
accordance with IAS 1, applying the historical cost convention, except for the
measurement of financial assets including derivative financial instruments
designated as held at fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL') that have
been measured at fair value.

All of the Company's operations are of a continuing nature.

The accounting policies applied to this condensed set of financial statements
are consistent with those applied in the financial statements for the year
ended 28th February 2025.

proposed. In respect of the year ended 28th February 2025, only the first,

6.  Disclosures regarding financial instruments measured at fair value

The disclosures required by the IFRS 13: 'Fair Value Measurement' are given
below. The Company's financial instruments within the scope of IFRS 13 that
are held at fair value comprise its investment portfolio and derivative
contracts.

The investments are categorised into a hierarchy consisting of the following
three levels:

Level 1 - valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - valued by reference to valuation techniques using other observable
inputs not included within Level 1.

Level 3 - valued by reference to valuation techniques using unobservable
inputs.

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.

The recognition and measurement policies for financial instruments measured at
fair value are consistent with those disclosed in the last annual financial
statements.

The following tables set out the fair value measurements using the IFRS 13
hierarchy at the relevant period end:
