Gareth Burchell-Director Comments
"The NAV has largely maintained its position in Q3 2025 as we continue to see
the deployment of capital in the Enterprise Capital Fund and await exits or
potential returns from the Sure Valley Ventures ICAV fund.
The progress made by CameraMatics led to a small investment into a syndicated
loan to assist with the major sales traction the Company has made. With both
Wia and Zenos showing positive progress in Q3.
The pace at which Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being adopted by businesses
all over the globe, is being demonstrated across all major sectors, and
businesses such as Complimind, Inephany and JAID are at the forefront of that
adoption with real solutions, creating efficiencies, for real business
problems."
