NB Private Equity Partners (NBPE), the $1.3bn, FTSE 250, listed private equity investment company managed by Neuberger Berman, today releases its 31 October 2023 monthly NAV estimate.

Highlights (31 October 2023)

   -- NAV per share of $27.07 (GBP22.31), a decline of 0.3% during the month 
 
   -- Monthly NAV driven by a 1.7% uplift on a constant currency basis 
      attributable to the receipt of Q3 private valuation information; this was 
      offset by a decline in value of quoted holdings and negative foreign 
      exchange movements 
 
   -- Year to date constant currency private valuations are up 5.6% 
 
   -- Total realisations year to date of $110 million and a further $44 million 
      expected from announced but not yet closed transactions1 
 
   -- Full or partial sales year to date have achieved a 2.0x gross multiple of 
      capital and were at a 13% uplift2; $21 million realised from quoted 
      holdings year to date, which are now 7% of the portfolio fair value 
 
   -- $317 million of available liquidity at 31 October 2023 (excluding cash 
      expected to be received from exits that have been announced but not yet 
      closed)
