abrdn Private Equity Opportunities - Update from QuotedData

15th April 2024

On the way to greener pastures

Despite navigating through challenging conditions in 2023, abrdn Private Equity Opportunities (APEO) achieved remarkable success with recently published annual results reporting both positive net asset value (NAV) growth and double-digit share price returns. APEO's discount to NAV has narrowed by more than 10 percentage points in recent months, so that it is shares are trading on a 28.9% discount currently, narrowing from about 45% last October. This resilience came in spite of a slowdown in activity in European private equity markets in 2023, dampened by a residual fear of rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions. However, as interest rates come down, the market could bounce back quickly, thanks in part to the associated lower costs of debt and greater valuation certainty that come with falling interest rates.

Furthermore, APEO will shortly come under the umbrella of Latin American asset manager Patria Investments, with abrdn's private equity division due to be acquired by Patria in the first half of 2024. Importantly, there will be no change to APEO's process, and the deal may in fact open up new appetite for APEO's shares.
