Emma Osborne, Head of Private Equity Fund Investments,
ICG, commented:
"The portfolio has continued to deliver strong returns
in the third quarter and remains highly cash generative.
Over the last few years, we have focused on companies
with strong defensive characteristics in sectors with
non-cyclical growth drivers and increased our weighting
to international markets. In an environment of rising
volatility and economic uncertainty, we believe our
focus on defensive growth and our flexible mandate
positions the portfolio well to weather uncertainty
and continue to generate value for shareholders."
