The fintech sector continues to evolve and mature, particularly in Europe, where innovation remains strong and capital increasingly flows to companies with clear paths to profitability. Fintechs, both listed and private, have responded well, demonstrating resilience, adaptability, and, in many cases, significant progress toward profitability and scale. Policy support remains a powerful tailwind. The UK Government has positioned fintech as a central pillar of its Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy and continues to champion innovation and domestic capital formation.
The Company has maintained a disciplined investment approach, focusing on category leaders with robust fundamentals, regulatory readiness, and the ability to scale sustainably across a more demanding, policy-driven market. With eight exits completed since IPO, all at or above the last published valuation, and over £100 million in realisations, the Company has a growing track record of value creation through multiple market cycles. This maturation has come through deliberate strategy; investing early, backing high-quality management teams and supporting their growth with capital and insight through cycles.
The portfolio has evolved into a mature and diversified set of high-potential businesses operating across Europe. The top 9 portfolio companies account for 79% of the invested NAV and delivered 33% revenue growth on average over the last 12 months, with four now profitable and others progressing steadily toward this milestone. A full update, including NAV as of 30 September 2025, will be provided in the Company's Interim Results.

Tide secured investment of \$120 million from TPG and existing investor Apax. Tide now serves 1.6 million SME customers worldwide, including in the UK (in which it has 14% market share), India, Germany, and as of September 2025, France. The new funding, which takes Tide's valuation to \$1.5 billion, will accelerate Tide's international expansion, support rapid product development and advance its investment into agentic AI.
Gemini launched its IPO on the Nasdaq, joining the ranks as the third US-listed crypto exchange. Gemini's listing reflects a wider trend of fintech and digital asset firms coming to public markets. Recent high-profile fintech IPOs, such as Klarna and Chime, signal a return in investor appetite, but also that patience and sustainable growth are critical as the sector matures.
Zopa Bank announced the acquisition of payments playform Rvvup. The acquisition will enable Zopa to offer merchants multi-channel checkout experiences across all payment methods using AI.
Grover appointed Rob Straathof as its new CEO. The appointment represents a key milestone in Grover's strategic journey toward accelerated growth and deeper customer engagement. Rob brings over two decades of experience across startups and global companies.
Artificial is working with McGill and Partners to create a single integrated digital platform, where brokers can manage the full placement lifecycle from submission to bind and streamline downstream processing. McGill and Partners is the first broker to adopt Artificial's Smart Placement platform endto-end.

Frostrow Capital LLP, the Company's Alternative Investment Fund Manager, has conducted an annual Value Assessment on the Company in line with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules set out in the Consumer Duty regulation. The Assessment focuses on the nature of the product, including benefits received and its quality, limitations that are part of the product, expected total costs to clients and target market considerations. Within this, the assessment considers quality of services, performance of the Company (against both benchmark and peers), total fees (including management fees and other fees as applicable to the Company), and also considers whether vulnerable consumers are able to receive fair value from the product. Frostrow Capital LLP concluded that the Company is providing value based on the above assessment.
