Benoît Durteste
CEO and CIO
The breadth of ICG's strategies and our firm-wide
focus on downside protection are powerful characteristics
of our business, especially in the current environment.
We focus on investing in resilient companies with
strong market positions and are able to provide them
with flexible capital in the form most appropriate
to their needs, from full equity buyouts to senior
debt. In doing so, we help our clients achieve their
investment objectives in private markets through economic
cycles.
We remained active in the quarter. Fundraising was
robust, including holding successful final closes
for Strategic Equity IV and Asia Pacific IV. As anticipated,
deployment and realisation levels across the market
were lower than in previous quarters and in this context
we continued to execute a number of transactions across
all our asset classes. Our pipeline remains constructive,
particularly within direct lending (SDP) where we
are seeing a growing set of future deployment opportunities.
As a firm we continued executing on our strategic
agenda to reinforce our long-term growth trajectory,
including selectively building out our marketing and
client relations team and onboarding a real estate
equity team in Asia. The management fee-centric nature
of our fund management company gives us confidence
in the resilience of our business through periods
of uncertainty, and our performance remains in-line
with the outlook we recently gave in our full year
results.

Foreign exchange rates
The following foreign exchange rates have been used throughout
this review:
Average rate Average rate 30 June 2022 31 March 2022
for Q1 FY23 for FY22 period end year end
-------- ------------ ------------ ------------ -------------
GBP:EUR 1.1760 1.1755 1.1617 1.1876
GBP:USD 1.2452 1.3626 1.2178 1.3138
EUR:USD 1.0588 1.1595 1.0483 1.1063
At 30 June 2022, our third-party AUM was $68.2m. If GBP:USD had
been by 5% higher (1.2787) our reported third-party AUM would have
been $441m higher. If EUR:USD had been 5% higher (1.1007) our
reported third-party AUM would have been $1,926m higher.
Where noted, this review presents changes in AUM on a
constant-exchange-rate basis. For the purposes of these
calculations, opening AUM numbers have been translated from their
underlying fund currencies to USD at the respective period-end
exchange rates. This has then been compared to the AUM at the
period end to arrive at the change on a constant-exchange-rate
basis.
