March brought a third month of recovery from the lows of December, with broad-based strong performance across the major equity markets. BTEM’s NAV gained +1.6% for the month, for a quarterly NAV total return of +8.5%. The portfolio benefitted from favourable currency movements relative to sterling as well as positive NAV and share price performance from the portfolio; these benefits were tempered slightly by an 83 basis points (bps) widening in the weighted average discount to 32.2%. Major contributors included Swire Pacific ‘B’, EXOR, Tetragon Financial, Third Point Offshore and Oakley Capital; major detractors included Riverstone Energy, Jardine Strategic and Pargesa Holding.
