Portfolio Activity  

At 31^st May 2022, the Company's invested portfolio had an aggregate valuation of £131.2 million across 34 investments. The average yield was 8.60%, with a weighted average loan life remaining of 2.00 years. Overall, the portfolio is 94% invested in private market assets and 6% in public bonds. The Investment Manager's focus on creating a portfolio of high yielding and short duration loans that do not hold significant exposure to interest rate movements, ensures the portfolio remains well positioned against any further interest rate increases by global central banks. The portfolio has no direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine.

The month of May 2022 saw three transactions made up of two further drawdowns to existing facilities and one new loan:

·      Ref 88 Healthcare, Care Home: £620,000 drawdown under a committed facility within the aged care sub-sector.

·      Ref 52 Clean Energy, Renewable Heat Incentive: £400,000 drawdown secured against Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) cash flows.

·      Ref 94.a Healthcare, Health and Well-being: £350,000 term loan RLS facility within the Company's Health & Well-being sub-sector.

There was one partial repayment during the month, with Trent Capital (Ref 62) repaying £392,500.  

The Investment Manager continues to undertake due diligence and is structuring several pipeline opportunities within RMII's core investment sectors, which are expected to reach completion shortly. As previously communicated the coupon on these loans will be linked to the Bank of England Base Rate or SONIA interest rate benchmark, thus extending the portfolio maturity without increasing duration.
