PGGO NAV +0.72% to EUR 9.84 per share in April
For the month of April, Partners Group Global Opportunities Limited ("PGGO") reports a positive 0.72% increase in its net asset value ("NAV") to reach EUR 9.84 per share. As in prior months, the steady cashflows from the direct debt investments continue to add stability to the portfolio, contributing positively to the NAV development by 0.35%. Increases in the value of portfolios as reported by general partners in their year-end 2007 results accounted for an additional 0.33% rise in PGGO's NAV. Having been affected by the weak US dollar in past months, the NAV increased by 0.31% on the appreciation of the US dollar during April. Additionally, the listed private equity portfolio experienced a positive development driven by resurgent equity markets. Operating and financing expenses and other income components accounted for the residual net movement in the NAV.
Urs Wietlisbach, a Director of PGGO and co-founder of Partners Group, comments: "We are pleased that our direct portfolio is in good shape and continues to perform well, adding positive value to the PGGO NAV month after month. In addition, the secondary investments reported positive performances in their portfolios, which contributed substantially to the pleasing NAV increase for the month of April. We therefore believe that a positive trend in the NAV development of PGGO will be seen in 2008."
