JUPITER GREEN INVESTMENT TRUST PLC IHALF YEARLY FINANCIAL REPORT
Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC (the 'Company') exists to invest in companies which are developing and implementing solutions for the world's environmental challenges.
2
The strategic objectives of the Company are:
The investment objective of the Company is to achieve capital growth and income, both over the long term, through investment in a diverse portfolio of companies providing environmental solutions.
To achieve its investment objective, the Company invests globally in companies which have a significant focus on environmental solutions. Specifically, the Company looks to invest across six environmental themes;

From the year ended 31 March 2021, the Company's investment focus was adjusted towards companies which are innovating technological solutions to sustainability challenges ('innovators') and companies that are already rapidly delivering proven sustainable solutions in their markets ('accelerators'), while reducing exposure to more established companies ('established leaders') that are focused on delivering environmental solutions. A by-product of these changes is a greater focus on smaller companies which are at the forefront of the innovation driving sustainable solutions.
The investment approach employed by the company was established in 1988, making it one of the first sustainable investment strategies in the world. The underlying investment philosophy of the strategy has remained unchanged from that date: To identify long-term investment opportunities in companies that provide solutions to environmental challenges. In our opinion, the increasingly pivotal role that sustainability plays in global development means that this philosophy is more relevant to investors today than ever before.
In essence, we believe that companies focused on providing solutions in areas such as climate change mitigation, pollution prevention, the circular economy, and the sustainable use and protection of water and natural ecosystems present multi-decade investment opportunities. The Company offers clients focused and specialist exposure to these companies, generating both positive investment returns and beneficial outcomes for society.

Here we present the Interim Report and Accounts for the Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC ('the Company') for the six months to 30 September 2023.
In a broad macro sense, the period under review could be characterised by major developed market central banks – most notably the US Federal Reserve (Fed) – converging around interest rate policies.
The Net Asset Value of the Company delivered a total return of -10.0%, vs +0.1% for the MSCI World Small Cap (£) Index whilst the share price total return delivered -11.4% over the period.
We are disappointed with the performance of the portfolio over the period, however due to the prevailing macroeconomic environment, we are of the belief that the prospects for the portfolio companies and their respective addressable markets remains undimmed. Your portfolio manager, Jon Wallace will go into more detail in his report below.
The dominant narrative in the market now is one of central banks rates staying 'higher for longer' as economic indicators broadly point towards resilient economic growth, rising wage growth, and inflation that remains well above target levels in developed economies. This creates a challenging backdrop for investors, and during the last six months there have been few obvious areas of significant growth – the one exception being a small cadre of USlisted technology companies that are presumed to be beneficiaries of coming shift towards artificial intelligence.
Within the Environmental Solutions thematic universe, key developments over the past six months have included the publication of the Global Stocktake Technical Assessment report. Released in September, it in no uncertain terms states that the world is currently not on track to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. This chimes with previous reports, such as the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, released in March, but crucially there remains an acknowledgement that the technologies already exist to reach the targets, if they are implemented in time. A bold call to action,
and one in which the Company should be wellpositioned to benefit from given the emphasis we place on companies that are developing of scaling able to provide environmental solutions.
On the policy front, just a day after this reporting period ended – on 1 October 2023 – the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) entered its transitional phase, with the first reporting period for importers 31 January 2024. It joins the PROVE IT Act in the US, which requires the Department of Energy to study and compare the carbon emissions of carbon-intensive sectors. The increasingly likelihood and rising onus on global reporting standards may offer opportunities for compliant companies to benefit from that trend, while presenting a clear risk to those firms unwilling to adapt.
Technological advances and innovation are key to combating the world's climate and environmental crisis. These solutions are now helping to set the pace for policy and regulation – a welcome reversal to the previous relationship where solutions were constrained by policy. The scale of change required to reverse global warming is creating significant opportunities for investors to support environmental solutions companies, which provide products and services critical to achieving sustainability targets. It is becoming ever more evident that these solutions will spread widely and to as-yet unpenetrated sectors of the global economy.
Governments are likely to continue to play a major role, in terms to encouraging development of environmental solutions as part of the path to net zero, and through the regulating of all companies to improve transparency around climate and biodiversity impact.
As attitudes toward addressing climate solutions shift, there is a broadening of the value chain beyond the conventional lens. The opportunities throughout the market that this creates will be plentiful and we firmly believe the Jupiter Green Investment Trust remains well-positioned to identify them.

In order to manage the discount, the board continues to utilise shareholder authority to undertake share buybacks of ordinary shares when they are trading at a sustained discount. Over the period, the company bought back 930,000 ordinary shares for cancellation, equating to £1,932,000, at an average discount of -15.86%, which positively accrued £368,000 to NAV.
The board was pleased that 98.34% of shareholders voted in favour of the company's continuation and believe that the company operates in a segment with significant supportive tailwinds and an opportunity to identify investment opportunities in the most innovative and accelerating companies as well as those which are more established for many years to come.
I have served this company as a director for the last 14 years, and have been Chairman since 2016, and despite my deep passion for the company and its Investment objectives, and support for the investment manager, it is my intention to stand down before the company's next AGM.
In the meantime, the board through its nominations committee, will embark on a recruitment process to identify suitable candidates with the requisite skills and experience in order to take the company forward. More details of the succession plan will be published in the forthcoming Annual report.

■ the potential for capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of companies which are developing and implementing solutions for the world's environmental challenges.
Is one of the first sustainable investment strategies in the world Established in 1988, the underlying investment philosophy of the Jupiter Environmental Solutions team has remained unchanged: To identify long-term investment opportunities in companies that provide solutions to environmental challenges.
themes We concentrate our investments in six sustainable themes which are specifically focused on solutions for the world's environmental challenges.
Tackles climate change The COP conferences highlight the urgency of using technological solutions towards tackling climate change and related challenges such as natural capital loss. Jupiter Green invests in companies that are developing the technologies to slow climate change.
Focuses on innovation We focus our investment on companies which are innovating technological solutions to sustainability challenges and companies that are rapidly delivering proven sustainable solutions in their markets.

The period under review was challenging for global equity markets as central banks converged around 'Higher for Longer' rhetoric with regard to interest rates in an effort to quell persistent inflation, though the latter surprised on the downside later in the period. This, combined with generally declining economic indicators resulted in a wider risk-off sentiment and weighed on global equities.
Aside from market factors, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a 'roll-back' on green policies, for example pushing back targets for vehicle electrification and delaying a ban on new gas boilers. While these policies are generally disjointed from wider global developments, the period saw pockets of dilution to regulatory and policy drivers intended to increase the uptake of environmental solutions.
The Company's approach to investing in environmental solutions remains focussed on six themes:
The Company underperformed in the period in an environment split between momentum and increasing risk-off sentiment as central banks converged around higher interest rates. While the portfolio was weaker in part owing to not having exposure to buoyant sectors that sit outside of our environmental solutions thematic, expectations of
persistently higher interest rates also weighed on valuations for relatively capital intensive sectors.
In this backdrop the largest detractor to performance during the was the Clean Energy theme. We continue to see compelling opportunities for renewable energy solutions and related infrastructure in the long-term. Our largest allocation within the Clean Energy theme is Prysmian, which provides cable technologies critical to power grid upgrade markets that we see as buoyed by multiple converging growth drivers including renewable energy capacity growth, grid resilience and energy security.
In a similar vein, environmental solutions that are more clearly associated with critical challenges in the immediate future have generally fared better. The largest positive performance contributor was our Sustainable Oceans & Water Systems theme. Advanced Drainage Systems, which manufactures pipes and products for stormwater management and drainage solutions, was a top stock specific contributor. The Company's largest thematic allocation, Green Buildings and Industry (GBI) also generated positive contribution. Many of our holdings within this theme are industrial companies whose physical products are reliant on global supply chains. As Covid-related disruptions have eased, holdings have been benefitting from a structural tailwind of energy price volatility which encourages the take-up of energy efficient solutions that are a large component of this opportunity set.
Some portfolio changes during the period include the addition to holdings within our Circular Economy theme, including Ansys, a US-based industrials software company, and Renewi, a European waste management company and long-held position in the Company that was later subject to a takeover bid. We reduced several positions following strong shortterm performance including Advanced Drainage, and disposed of Daikin on growing concerns around of reputational and regulatory risks due to its current and legacy exposure to PFAS (long-lasting chemicals which are difficult to break down in the environment) as well mounting signals that the global market for low-carbon heat-pumps is slowing as production capacity increases significantly.
We have a long-held conviction that environmental challenges in all their forms are central to global development in the long term. This provides compelling growth opportunities for companies focussed on delivering real-world solutions to climate change and wider forms of natural capital protection including water and biodiversity. Our conviction in this view remains undimmed. We expect the volatility in equity markets to continue into the nearterm, presenting opportunities for long-term active investors focussing on structural growth trends such as energy transition and more widely across our six environmental solution investment themes.
The landmark US Inflation Reduction Act, and the recent response from the European Commission such as the Net-Zero Industry Act, signal that environmental solutions markets have crossed a watershed moment where they are no longer peripheral, but instead integral to future economies and markets.
Given the rising incidence of large-scale natural disasters, including intense flooding and wildfires, politicians are increasingly considering the importance of adaptation measures, rather than mitigation solutions, to combat the worst effects of these disasters. While we believe adaptation solutions do have a role, we believe the most appropriate approach for investors is to recognise the nuance, and to avoid considering opportunities through an either one or the other lens, instead seeking solutions where climate adaptation and mitigation converge. We ideally seek those opportunities which provide clear mitigation or twopronged solutions to the vital challenges the world is facing.

Stock Stories (continued)
Jupiter Green invests in some of the most exciting and innovative companies focused on solving a range of environmental challenges. Two examples of these companies are First Solar and Ansys which are described in more detail in this section.
First Solar is an American manufacturer of solar panels, and a provider of utility-scale PV power plants. The Company is uniquely well-placed to take advantage of several key growth drivers,
standing alone in the industry with its differentiated semiconductor and streamlined manufacturing process, which yield unparalleled quality and reliability. It is the only US-headquartered Company among the world's 10 largest module producers, with a large manufacturing presence on US soil. This we believe is a valuable asset in the wake of the US Inflation Reduction Act that over the next decade places a valuable stream of tax-credits not only on solar energy production but also on favouring those with a credible US-supply chain.

Heading (continued)
Ansys is a leading provider of physics-based simulation software tools to evaluate how products will perform under various environments to ensure quality & safety as well as driving eco-efficiencies by bringing environmental considerations earlier into product design and development.
An example can be seen in its solutions for reducing the growing issue of electronic waste (or e-waste) – electric and electronic equipment that have exhausted their utility value through either redundancy, replacement, or breakage. Ansys enables resource savings, for example by allowing materials sustainability and recyclability to be factored earlier
into product design and testing. Very few companies building electronic devices take disassembly into consideration when designing a product. Simulation technology enables engineers to explore more ways of arranging components and the order in which they are assembled in far less time than it would take to build a protype. Virtual design and testing using simulation makes it possible for engineers to consider assembly and disassembly during the design phase, which leads to easier recycling of valuable materials and removal of toxic materials when the product is no longer usable.

The holdings listed above are all equity shares unless otherwise stated.
As at 30 September 2023, 0.98% of the company's total assets was invested in Greencoat Renewables, a UK listed investment company.
Whilst the requirements of the UK Listing Authority permit the company to invest up to 10% of the value of the total assets of the company (before deducting borrowed money) in other investment companies (including investment trusts) listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, it is the directors' current intention that the company invests not more than 5% in other investment companies.

| Dividend Policy | The board has not set an objective of a specific portfolio yield for the company in relation to the year under review and the level of such yield has historically varied with the sectors and geographical regions to which the company's portfolio is exposed at any given time. |
|---|---|
| The Articles of Association of the company allow dividends to be financed through a combination of available net income in each financial year and the company's capital reserves and other reserves so that the company may, at the discretion of the board, pay all or part of any future dividends out of this, or other, distributable reserves of the company. |
|
| The Board's policy is to pay one final dividend per annum in October each year equal to the current year profits of the company. |
|
| Planned Life of the Company | The company does not have a fixed life, however, the board considers it desirable that shareholders should have the opportunity to review the future of the company every three years. Accordingly, an ordinary resolution for the continuation of the company in its current form was passed by shareholders at the AGM held on 14 September 2023. The next scheduled continuation vote will be held at the 2026 AGM. If such resolution is not passed, the directors will formulate proposals to be put to shareholders to reorganise or reconstruct the company or for the company to be wound-up and the assets realised at fair value. |
| Discount Control | The directors believe that the ordinary shares should not trade at a significant discount to their prevailing net asset value. |
| The board uses share buy-backs to assist in diluting discount volatility and to seek to narrow the discount to net asset value at which the company's shares trade over time where in normal market conditions, the company's share price does not materially vary from its net asset value per share. |
|
| The board, its investment adviser and the broker maintain an active dialogue with the aim of ensuring that the market rating of the Company's shares reflect the underlying NAV; both share buy back and issuance facilities are in place to help the management of this process. |
|
| Subscription Rights | Shareholders have an annual opportunity to subscribe for ordinary shares on the basis of one new ordinary share for every ten ordinary shares held at 31 March of each year. Shareholders voted to continue to offer shareholders the ability to purchase additional shares by way of the annual subscription rights facility at the company's annual general meeting on 14 September 2023 The subscription price will be equal to the audited undiluted net asset value per share as at 31 March 2023 being 258.58p. The next subscription date will be 31 March 2024. A reminder will be sent to shareholders prior to the subscription date. |
During the first six months of the current financial year, no transactions with related parties have taken place which would have materially affected the financial position or performance of the company. Details of related party transactions are contained in the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 March 2023 and on page 25 of this report.
The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company can be divided into the following areas:
The board reported on the above principal risks and uncertainties in the Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The directors, having considered the company's investment objective, risk management and capital management policies, the diversified portfolio of readily realisable securities which can be used to meet short-term funding commitments and the ability of the company to meet all of its liabilities and ongoing expenses, are satisfied that the company has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
As part of its assessment, the board has noted that shareholders will be required to vote on the continuation of the company at the 2026 AGM. Further information regarding the planned life of the company can be found on page 16.
The directors of Jupiter Green Investment Trust PLC confirm to the best of their knowledge:
The Half Yearly Financial Report has not been audited or reviewed by the company's auditor.

The Accounts comprise the unaudited financial results of the company for the period to 30 September 2023.
The Accounts are presented in pounds sterling, as this is the functional currency of the Company. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds (£'000) except where indicated.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards.
Where presentational guidance set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) for Investment Trusts issued by the Association of Investment Companies (AIC) in April 2021 is consistent with the requirements of UK adopted International Accounting Standards, the directors have sought to prepare the financial statements on a basis compliant with the recommendations of the SORP.
The Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.
Income includes dividends from investments quoted ex-dividend on or before the date of the Statement of Financial Position.
Dividends receivable from equity shares are taken to the revenue return column of the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Special dividends are treated as repayment of capital or as revenue depending on the facts of each particular case.
In order to better reflect the activities of an investment trust company and in accordance with Association of Investment Companies (AIC), supplementary information which analyses the Statement of Comprehensive Income between items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the statement.
An analysis of retained earnings broken down into revenue (distributable) items and capital (distributable) items is given in Note 5.
Investment Management fees and finance costs are charged 75 per cent. to capital and 25 per cent to revenue (2022: 75 per cent to capital and 25 per cent to revenue). All other operational costs (including administration expenses to capital) are charged to revenue.
Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date where a purchase and sale of an investment is under contract whose terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at cost, being the consideration given.
All investments are classified as held at fair value through profit or loss. All investments are measured at fair value with changes in their fair value recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they arise. The fair value of listed investments is based on their quoted bid price at the reporting date without any deduction for estimated future selling costs.
Foreign exchange gains and losses on fair value through profit and loss investments are included within the changes in the fair value of the investments.
For investments that are not actively traded and/or where active stock exchange quoted bid prices are not available, fair value is determined by reference to a variety of valuation techniques. These techniques may draw, without limitation, on one or more of: the latest arm's length traded prices for the instrument concerned; financial modelling based on other observable market data; independent broker research; or the published accounts relating to the issuer of the investment concerned.

The principal risks which the Company faces include exposure to:
Market price risk – This is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the Company may fluctuate because of changes in market prices. This market risk comprises three elements – currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk.
Credit and counterparty risk – This is the exposure to loss from the failure of a counterparty to deliver securities or cash for acquisitions or to repay deposits.
Liquidity risk – This is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.
Further details of the Company's management of these risks can be found in Note 13 of the Company's Annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.
There have been no changes to the management of or the exposure to these risks since that date.

The European Securities and Markets Authority ('ESMA') published its guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures ('APMs'). APMs are defined as being a 'financial measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable accounting framework.' The guidelines are aimed at promoting the usefulness and transparency of APMs included in regulated information and aim to improve comparability, reliability and/or comprehensibility of APMs. The following APMs (indicated by *) are used throughout the half yearly financial report, financial statements and notes to the financial statements.
A total return index is a type of equity performance index that tracks both the capital gains of a group of stocks over time, and assumes that any cash distributions, such as dividends, are reinvested back into the index.
The diluted NAV per share is the net asset value per ordinary share adjusted to assume that all the current subscription rights are taken up in full. Shareholders have the opportunity to subscribe for one new ordinary share for every ten held so the diluted net asset value per share of the company at any point is calculated by dividing the net assets of the company by the number of shares, plus 10%, in issue. The subscription rights of the shareholders are described in more detail on page 24.
The amount, expressed as a percentage, by which the share price is less than the net asset value per share.
As at 30 September 2023 the share price was 198.50p and the net asset value per share (cum income) was 232.84p, the discount therefore being 14.75%.
Discount management is the process of the buyback and issue of company shares by the company, to and from its own holding or 'treasury' with the intention of managing any imbalance between supply and demand for the company's shares and thereby the market price. The aim is to ensure that, in normal market conditions, the market price of the company's shares will not materially vary from its NAV per share. The authority to repurchase the company's shares is voted upon by the shareholders at each annual general meeting.
Gearing is the borrowing of cash to buy more assets for the portfolio with the aim of making a gain on those assets larger than the cost of the loan. However, if the portfolio doesn't perform well the gain might not cover the costs. The more an investment company gears, the higher the risk.
Gearing is calculated at as the ratio of the company's borrowings to its total assets (less cash) expressed as a percentage, that being 0% at 30 September 2023.
The mid-market price is the mid-point between the buy and the sell prices.
The net asset value ('NAV') is the value of the investment company's assets less its liabilities. The NAV per share is the NAV divided by the number of shares in issue. The difference between the NAV per share and the share price is known as the discount or premium.
As shown in note 6 to the Accounts, the NAV per share was 232.84p as at 30 September 2023.
Ongoing charges are the total expenses including both the investment management fee and other costs, but excluding finance costs and performance fees, as a percentage of NAV.
The amount, expressed as a percentage, by which the share price is more than the net asset value per share.
Treasury shares are the part of the issued share capital that is held by the company. They do not rank for dividend income and do not have voting rights. The company uses treasury shares for discount management purposes as described above and in more detail on page 16.
The undiluted NAV per share is the net asset value per ordinary share with no adjustment for the assumed exercise of all current subscription rights.
