RNS Number : 7717R RIT Capital Partners PLC 05 February 2026
RIT Capital Partners PLC (LEI: P31Q1NLTW35JJGHA4667)
5 February 2026
December 2025 Preliminary Unaudited Net Asset Value
RIT Capital Partners plc ("RIT") announces that its preliminary unaudited
diluted NAV as at 31 December 2025 (with debt at fair value) was 2,921p
per £1 ordinary share (30 November 2025: 2,899p). This represents a +0.8%
total return for the month, outperforming the ACWI (50% £) at +0.1%.
The preliminary 31 December 2025 NAV is equivalent to a NAV per share total
return for the year of +13.5%, with double-digit returns across all three
investment pillars (Quoted Equities, Private Investments and Uncorrelated
Strategies). Our annualised NAV per share total return since inception is
+10.6%, underscoring our commitment to delivering healthy, long-term returns
for our shareholders.
As is customary at this point in our year-end process, the preliminary NAV and
associated performance numbers for 2025 are estimates, and subject to
potential adjustment and audit. Full details will be included in the 2025
Annual Report and Accounts, which is expected to be published by early March
2026.
December 2025 Performance Highlights
RIT delivered resilient performance, demonstrating the benefits of our
diversified global portfolio. Performance was led by Private Investments and
Uncorrelated Strategies which contributed positively to NAV. Quoted Equities
detracted modestly during the month, while the continued strengthening of
sterling against the US dollar resulted in a negative translation effect on
our global portfolio.
- In Quoted Equities, weakness in technology and biotech stocks was partially
offset by strong performance in our quality theme and emerging markets related
holdings.
- Private Investments delivered positive returns, helped by an uplift in
December valuations of our direct holdings. As of 31 December 2025, more than
99% of our private funds were held at 30 September 2025 reported valuations
and all private direct holdings were valued as at 31 December 2025, in line
with our valuation policy.
- Uncorrelated Strategies, which acts as a steady diversifier of returns,
contributed positively to our NAV, supported by gold and credit.
- We continued our share buyback programme, buying back £13.4m or approximately
593,000 shares in December, adding an estimated +9bps accretion to NAV. As at
31 December 2025, the total share capital repurchased through buybacks since
the start of the year amounted to 3% at a total value of £89.0m.
