NB Private Equity: May Monthly NAV Update

15 June 2022

NB Private Equity (NBPE), the $1.4bn listed private equity investment company managed by Neuberger Berman, today releases its 31 May 2022 monthly NAV estimate.

Highlights (at 31 May 2022)

  • NAV per share of $29.55 (£23.45)

  • 2% increase since 30 April 2022, driven largely by updated Q1 2022 private company valuation information

  • All private direct equity investments are now valued based on 31 March 2022 valuation information, delivering a 2% uplift in value relative to 31 December 2021 for the private company portfolio

  • Year to date, this increase in private company valuations has been offset by a decline in NBPE’s listed portfolio company valuations, resulting in a 5% NAV TR decline year to date

  • Total announced portfolio realisations year to date of $120 million

  • Well positioned to take advantage of investment opportunities - $368 million of cash and undrawn credit line available
