CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT I am pleased to present the Half-Yearly Report of Mobeus Income & Growth 2 VCT plc (the "Company") for the period from 1 May 2013 to 31 October 2013. Performance for the six months ended 31 October 2013 Net asset value (NAV) per share has increased by 6.8% during the period from 106.75 pence per share at 30 April 2013 to 114.00 pence per share at 31 October 2013. The cumulative NAV total return per share (being the closing net asset value plus total dividends paid to date) since launch rose by 5.8% during the six month period from 124.75 pence to 132.00 pence. This increase is predominantly due to increases in investment valuations and some significant loan interest receipts, boosting revenue returns. Shareholders should note that the performance data in my statement relates to the one Ordinary share class now in existence. Fundraising for this class (which was formerly called the C share class) was launched on 20 September 2005. This single share class was created after a share class merger of the former Ordinary and C share classes on 10 September 2010. To assist shareholders to monitor the performance of their original Ordinary or C Share investment in a particular fundraising on a consistent basis, we have included separate performance data in the Performance Summary table above and at the end of this announcement. The Investment Portfolio Portfolio valuations continued to increase, new deal activity remained at busy levels and there was a healthy level of loan stock repayments. Overall, the portfolio recorded realised and unrealised gains of £1.04 million over the six month period. The portfolio under management was valued at £20.37 million at the period-end representing 103.8% of cost and an increase of 4.8% in valuation over the period. During the six month period to 31 October 2013, the Company invested £967,780 in Veritek Global Limited via the acquisition vehicle Madacombe Trading, resulting in a £32,220 refund of the VCT's existing investment of £1 million in Madacombe. A further £39,685 was also invested in Gro-Group Limited loan stock, to finance the move to direct sales in Australia. Following the period-end in November 2013, the Company completed a further investment of £330,202 into the acquisition vehicle Culbone Trading to support the MBO of Virgin Wine Online, one of the UK's leading online retailers of wine. The Company's investment in Culbone Trading is now £1,330,202. There have been a number of realisations, all from loan stock repayments during the period, totalling £2.48 million. Most significantly, in May 2013, Newquay Helicopters (2013) (formerly British International) repaid in full its 2006 and 2009 loan stock, plus premium and all outstanding interest arrears and penalties to date. This amounted to capital proceeds totalling £1,248,800 and loan interest of £423,026. Full details of the investment activity during the six months to 31 October 2013 and a summary of the performance highlights can be found in the Investment Manager's Review below. Revenue Account The results for this period are set out in the Unaudited Income Statement below and show an improved revenue gain (after tax) of 3.47 pence per share (31 October 2012: gain of 0.77 pence). The revenue return for the period of £834,749 is an increase of £643,461 (336.4%) from last year's comparable period. This is due to an exceptional rise in income of £687,751, from last year's £453,084 to £1,140,835 now. Income benefited from an increase in loan stock interest of £683,669 (being an increase of 175.8%, compared to the comparable period last year). The main contributor is the large arrears receipt from Newquay Helicopters (2013) Limited of £423,026 following the repayment of its two original loans as referred to above. New loan stock investments in Gro-Group, Fullfield (Motorclean) and ATG Media have also contributed to the increase and, as a result, annualised loan stock income now stands at £953,688 (31 October 2012: £ 764,486). Expenses charged to the Revenue Account have risen by £6,958. Fund management fees rose by £5,262, as the amount charged to the Income Statement in total increased by 6.93%, in line with the higher net assets than the equivalent period last year. Other expenses have risen slightly by £1,696 in the period to £151,793 (2012: £150,097). This increase was due to higher trail commission costs arising from higher net assets and higher professional fees offset by lower printing costs. Strategy and Fundraising Earlier this month, shareholders will have received a Securities Note containing an Offer for shares in the Company, as part of a Linked Offer for subscription launched on 28 November 2013, to raise an aggregate of up to £24 million in conjunction with Mobeus Income & Growth VCT plc, Mobeus Income & Growth 4 VCT plc and The Income & Growth VCT plc. I wish to take this opportunity to explain the background to this development. In my Chairman's Statement in the 2013 Annual Report, I reported that the Board, aware of the level of new investment opportunities, was considering whether the Company should raise further funds. Subsequently, the Board decided they did wish to raise additional funds, and agreed to become one of the Companies participating in the current Mobeus VCTs' Linked Offer. At the Company's AGM held on Friday 20 September 2013, shareholders approved the changes to Company's strategy as outlined below: 1. Extension of the life of the Company until the fifth anniversary of the latest allotment of shares, in order to maintain the tax reliefs on new shares to be issued. 2. Adoption of a buyback policy with the objective of maintaining the discount to the latest published NAV at 10% or less. At the AGM, shareholders approved the above changes, and your Board has since participated in the recent launch of the Linked Offer. This fundraising anticipates a higher rate of new investment in the years ahead and the increased assets will spread the Company's fixed running costs over a larger asset base. Change of financial year-end In order to facilitate the process of allotting shares arising from the Linked Offer and any future fundraisings, the Board has decided to change the Company's financial year-end from 30 April to 31 March. Therefore the next set of accounts will be for the 11 month period from 1 May 2013 to 31 March 2014 and future reports will be for years ending 31 March. Dividends The Board has declared an interim dividend of 4.9 pence per share for the eleven months ending 31 March 2014. Following the change to the Company's year-end, the dividend will be paid on 21 March 2014 to shareholders on the Register on 28 February 2014. This is in addition to the interim dividend of 0.1 pence per share for the year ended 30 April 2013, as reported in the 2013 Annual Report, which the Company is required to pay in order to comply with VCT rules. Therefore the total dividend to be paid on 21 March 2014 will be 5.0 pence per share. The Board's objective is, subject to the availability of sufficient reserves and liquidity, to distribute regular and consistent dividends of at least 4 pence per share per annum. Share buybacks During the period, the Company repurchased 150,000 shares for cancellation at a price of 91.0 pence share, representing 0.62% (30 April 2013: 3.1%) of the issued share capital. This buyback represented a discount to NAV of approximately 20%. The current discount of the share price to NAV is approximately 10%. Possible VCT Legislation Shareholders may wish to be aware of the following two developments. Firstly, the Chancellor's Autumn Statement contained measures restricting tax relief on subscriptions for shares in VCTs after 5 April 2014 where, within six months before or after subscription, the investor disposes of shares in that VCT. If introduced, as seems likely, such proposals may lead to a restriction on income tax relief available to an investor for the issue of shares if, within six months before or after subscription, the investor disposes of shares in the Company. Secondly, HMRC is also considering proposals relating to the availability of tax relief on dividends which are regarded by HMRC as returns of capital. HMRC intends to hold a series of technical consultations on this subject shortly. Liquidity The Board continue to consider and monitor credit risk in respect of its cash balances extremely carefully. In response to a change in VCT regulations, the Company can no longer add to its investment in money market funds. It continues to hold £3.7 million in a selection of money market funds with AAA credit ratings, and now also holds £ 3.2 million at Barclays Bank, both as at 31 October 2013. In addition, the £2 million invested in acquisition vehicles is also held in money market funds (reduced to £1 million following the use of Culbone to support the MBO of Virgin Wine after the period end). The Company remains well positioned in the short-term to make new investments and support suitable investment opportunities within the portfolio if required, but has decided to raise further funds so as to participate in a higher level of new investment opportunities anticipated over the medium term. Investment in qualifying holdings The Company is required to meet the target set by HMRC of investing 70% of the funds raised in qualifying unquoted and AIM quoted companies. The Company exceeded this limit (based on VCT cost as defined in tax legislation, which differs from the actual cost given in the Investment Portfolio Summary below) throughout the period. Industry awards for the Investment Manager It is pleasing to report that the Investment Manager was named VCT Manager of the Year 2013 for the second consecutive year at the unquote" British Private Equity Awards 2013. The award recognised the high level of consistency achieved by the Investment Manager during the year under consideration in maintaining high standards in all areas of its activity including deals, exits, portfolio management and fundraising. The Board is pleased that the work of the Investment Manager has been acknowledged in this way. Outlook The outlook for the UK economy appears to have improved over the past few months. Many forecasters now anticipate that economic growth will occur over the next few years. The Investment Manager is seeing an improved flow of opportunities to invest more capital in smaller private companies with proven business models, good management and sound financing. This rise in activity partly reflects the improvement in the UK economic outlook and the continued perception that the UK banking industry is reluctant to lend to smaller businesses. The Board is mindful that the Company should have adequate liquidity to take advantage of the increased number and quality of businesses currently being evaluated by the Investment Manager. In view of the uncertain environment described above, it is imperative that only the highest quality businesses are selected with the terms of the deal structured so as to minimise the downside risk to shareholders. The cautious approach of selecting well-run profitable companies operating in niche markets is the primary reason for the quality of the investment portfolio currently held within the Company. If growth in the UK economy is sustained, prospects should improve further for our existing and future portfolio companies. The Company's existing portfolio contains a number of investments in companies which are progressing well, and are capable of producing further growth in profits. Realisation of such potential should provide exit opportunities and returns over the medium term for shareholders. I would like to take this opportunity to thank shareholders for their continued support. The Securities Note recently sent to shareholders also contained an invitation to a Shareholder Workshop on 21 January 2014, and the Board looks forward to meeting any shareholders able to attend.

GOING CONCERN The Board has assessed the Company's operation as a going concern. The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the interim management report which is included within the Chairman's Statement, Investment Policy, Investment Manager's Review and Investment Portfolio Summary. The Directors have satisfied themselves that the Company continues to maintain a significant cash position, the majority of companies in the portfolio continue to trade profitably and the portfolio taken as a whole remains resilient and well-diversified. The major cash outflows of the Company (namely investments, buy-backs and dividends) are within the Company's control. The Board's assessment of liquidity risk and details of the Company's policies for managing its capital and financial risks are shown in Note 19 on pages 44 to 51 of the Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2013. Accordingly, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Half-Yearly Report and annual financial statements. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT This report may contain forward looking statements with regards to the financial condition and results of the Company, which are made in the light of current economic and business circumstances. Nothing in this report should be construed as a profit forecast. For and on behalf of the Board: Nigel Melville Chairman 18 December 2013 INVESTMENT POLICY The Company's policy is to invest primarily in a diverse portfolio of UK unquoted companies. Investments are structured as part loan and part equity in order to receive regular income and to generate capital gains from trade sales and flotations of investee companies. Investments are made selectively across a number of sectors, primarily in management buyout transactions (MBOs) i.e. to support incumbent management teams in acquiring the business they manage but do not own. Investments are primarily made in companies that are established and profitable. The Company's cash and liquid resources may be invested to maximise income returns in a range of instruments of varying maturities, subject to the overriding criterion that the risk of loss of capital be minimised. UK companies The companies in which investments are made must have no more than £15 million of gross assets at the time of investment and £16 million immediately following the investment to be classed as a Venture Capital Trust ("VCT") qualifying holding. VCT regulation The investment policy is designed to ensure that the Company continues to qualify and is approved as a VCT by HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC"). Amongst other conditions, the Company may not invest more than 15% of its investments in a single company and must achieve at least 70 % by value of its investments throughout the period in shares or securities in VCT qualifying holdings, of which a minimum overall of 30% by value must be ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights. In addition, although the Company can invest less than 30% of an investment in a specific company in ordinary shares, it must have at least 10% by value of its total investments in each VCT qualifying company in ordinary shares which carry no preferential rights (save as may be permitted under VCT rules). The VCT regulations in respect of funds raised after 6 April 2011 have changed, such that 70% of qualifying holdings invested with such funds must be held in equity. Asset mix The Investment Manager aims to hold approximately 80% of net assets by value in the Company's qualifying investments. The balance is held in readily realisable interest bearing investments and deposits and in some non-qualifying holdings in the same investee companies in which qualifying investments have been made. Risk diversification and maximum exposures Risk is spread by investing in a number of different businesses across different industry sectors. To reduce the risk of high exposure to equities, each qualifying investment is structured using a significant proportion of loan stock (up to 70% of the total investment in each VCT qualifying company). Initial investments in VCT qualifying companies are generally made in amounts ranging from £200,000 to £2 million at cost, or such amounts as VCT legislation permits. Normally, no holding in any one company will be greater than 10% (but in any event will not be greater than 15%) of the value of the Company's investments, based on cost, at the time of investment. Ongoing monitoring of each investment is carried out by the Investment Manager, generally through taking a seat on the board of each VCT qualifying company. Co-investment The Company aims to invest alongside the three other VCTs advised by the Investment Manager with a similar investment policy. This enables the Company to participate in larger combined investments advised on by the Investment Manager. Borrowing The Company's articles of association permit borrowings of amounts up to 10% of the adjusted capital and reserves (as defined therein), although the Company has never borrowed and the Board has no current plans to undertake any borrowing. MANAGEMENT The Board has overall responsibility for the Company's affairs including the determination of its investment policy. Investment and divestment proposals are originated, negotiated and recommended by the Investment Manager, Mobeus Equity Partners LLP, and are then subject to formal approval by the Directors. Mobeus Equity Partners LLP provides Company Secretarial and Accountancy services to the Company. INVESTMENT MANAGER'S REVIEW Overview The portfolio has made a satisfactory start to the year with encouraging trading and cash generation from a number of companies in the portfolio, causing a like for like rise in the portfolio's value of 4.8%. The rising trend in terms of new deal activity towards the 2013 year end has continued with one new investment completed in the period and one more completing after the period end. Realisations have also continued at a healthy level with a number of investee companies using their improved cash position to make partial or full repayments of their loan stock. New investment In July 2013, the VCT completed a new investment of £967,780 using the VCT's existing investment of £1 million in the seed company, Madacombe Trading, resulting in a net repayment to the Company of £32,220. This investment supported the MBO of Veritek Global Limited, a Europe-wide provider of installation, maintenance and support services for blue-chip owners of a wide range of complex imaging and printing equipment. The company has revenues in excess of £25 million and around 300 staff across ten countries. Following the period end in November 2013, the Company completed a further investment of £330,202 into the acquisition vehicle Culbone Trading to support the MBO of Virgin Wine Online Limited, one of the UK's leading online retailers of wine. The Company's investment in this company now totals £1,330,202. Follow-on investments A small follow-on loan of £39,685 was advanced to Gro-Group Holdings Limited, to finance the move to direct sales distribution in Australia, rather than use a sales agent. Realisations The first six months of the year has seen further realisations that reflect the way our portfolio investments are initially structured and that many of them are generating positive cash flow. During the period, cash of £2,475,380 (excluding Madacombe's partial refund of £32,220) has been generated from part or full loan stock repayments. In May 2013, following the disposal of the company's major trading subsidiary, Newquay Helicopters (2013) Limited (formerly British International Holdings Limited) repaid the principal and premium of the first two loan stocks, together with all interest arrears for total cash proceeds of £1,671,825. The capital proceeds of £1,248,800 compare with an investment cost of £934,000, and contributed to an overall return including interest of two times investment cost, to date. This is a pleasing outcome and there is the prospect of further returns of capital as the company realises its remaining assets. In September 2013, Focus Pharma Holdings Limited repaid a further £1,000,000 across all Mobeus VCTs, of which £206,325 (including £63,914 premium) related to the Company. After the period-end, Focus made a full repayment of the remaining loan stock realising £207,616 (including £64,314 premium). These repayments arise from a substantial improvement in Focus's profitability. Strong cash flow at DiGiCo Global Limited enabled it to repay further loan tranches totalling £420,437 in July and October. In October 2013, Blaze Signs Holdings Limited fully repaid its remaining loan stock realising £270,268 (including premium of £62,368). Also in October 2013, Faversham House made a partial repayment of loan realising £49,604 (including £6,283 premium), the cash for which was received just after the period end. After the period end, Faversham has now fully repaid the remaining loan, realising £77,552 (including £9,862 premium), which represents our exit from what has been a disappointing investment. On a total return basis (including interest received) we have recovered £350,297 of our original investment cost of £374,870, or 93% of that original investment. A number of other capital loan repayments have been made during the period, totalling £279,946, being from EMaC (£228,276), Monsal Holdings Limited (£ 25,632), and Tessella Holdings Limited (£26,038). Portfolio review The portfolio at 31 October 2013 comprised twenty-eight investments (2012: thirty) with a cost of £19.6 million (2012: £22.8 million) and valued at £20.4 million (2012: £20.5 million). On a like for like basis, the portfolio has increased by 4.81% compared with the valuations prevailing at 30 April 2013. Over the same period the FTSE All-Share and FTSE SmallCap indices have risen by 5.76% and 13.88% respectively. The portfolio's performance as a whole continues to be robust. The three main uplifts in valuation have occurred at ASL, Blaze and Tessella. ASL is showing signs of improvement with profits ahead of the prior year. Blaze Signs is having an exceptional year, building on their involvement with Olympic projects, and now benefiting from a large contract with a bank. This has enabled it to repay all of its remaining VCT loans as noted above. Tessella has made an encouraging start, and its valuation has now moved above its valuation at the point of investment. DiGiCo continues to remain highly profitable and is developing more new products for its markets. Fullfield has traded well, and the extra resource acquired as part of their acquisition have integrated well in to the existing business. ATG also continues to trade well, and is investing in new auction software that should benefit the UK business and its recent US acquisition. EMaC is performing ahead of budget with plans to offer more flexible service plans which will meet market demands. PXP and Plastic Surgeon continue to benefit from improvements in the construction and house building sectors. PXP has a healthier order book. Plastic Surgeon has maintained profits over the previous year, and plans to recruit in order to meet increasing demand for its services. Uncertainty remains in Youngman's markets, with orders from key customers down on the previous year. Outlook The outlook for the UK economy is still uncertain although recent forecasts have become more optimistic. Improved business confidence and the perception that the UK banking industry is still reluctant to lend to smaller businesses are resulting in a sustained and positive deal flow of opportunities. We are hopeful that we will continue with a busy period of new investment during the latter part of the year. The number and quality of deals being considered in recent months has increased and we are confident that this will result in a number of transactions being completed in the near future. However, we are maintaining a prudent approach to making new investments. We continue to be conscious of the need to ensure that investee companies take appropriate actions to respond to the challenging environment ahead. We are ensuring that the existing portfolio remains well capitalised, and that the stronger companies build on their strengths.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements 1. Principal accounting policies The following accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the period. Full details of principal accounting policies will be disclosed in the Annual Report. a) Basis of accounting The unaudited results cover the six months to 31 October 2013 and have been prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP), consistent with the accounting policies set out in the statutory accounts for the year ended 30 April 2013 and the 2009 Statement of Recommended Practice, `Financial Statements of Investment Trust Companies and Venture Capital Trusts' ("the SORP") issued by the Association of Investment Companies. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention except for the revaluation of certain investments. The Half-yearly Report has not been audited, nor has it been reviewed by the auditors pursuant to the Auditing Practices Board (APB)'s guidance on Review of Interim Financial Information. b) Presentation of the Income Statement In order to better reflect the activities of a VCT and in accordance with the SORP, supplementary information which analyses the Income Statement between items of a revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the Income Statement. The revenue column of profit attributable to equity shareholders is the measure the Directors believe appropriate in assessing the Company's compliance with certain requirements set out in Section 274 Income Tax Act 2007. c) Investments Investments are accounted for on a trade date basis. All investments held by the Company are classified as "fair value through profit and loss" as the Company's business is to invest in financial assets with a view to profiting from their total return in the form of capital growth and income. For investments actively traded in organised financial markets, recognition and fair value is determined by reference to Stock Exchange market trading rules and quoted bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. Unquoted investments are valued by the Directors at `fair value through profit and loss'. Accordingly, in the absence of a market price, the Directors have valued unquoted investments in accordance with International Private Equity Venture Capital Valuation (IPEVCV) guidelines as updated in September 2009. All investments are held at the price of a recent investment for an appropriate period where there is considered to have been no change in fair value. Where such a basis is no longer considered appropriate, the following factors will be considered: (i) Where a value is indicated by a material arms-length transaction by an independent third party in the shares of a company, this value will be used. (ii) In the absence of i), and depending upon both the subsequent trading performance and investment structure of an investee company, the valuation basis will usually move to either:- a) an earnings multiple basis. The shares may be valued by applying a suitable price-earnings ratio to that company's historic, current or forecast post-tax earnings before interest and amortisation (the ratio used being based on a comparable sector but the resulting value being adjusted to reflect points of difference identified by the Investment Manager compared to the sector including, inter alia, a lack of marketability). or:- b) where a company's underperformance against plan indicates a diminution in the value of the investment, provision against cost is made, as appropriate. Where the value of an investment has fallen permanently below cost, the loss is treated as a permanent impairment and as a realised loss, even though the investment is still held. The Board assesses the portfolio for such investments and, after agreement with the Investment Manager, will agree the values that represent the extent to which an investment loss has become realised. This is based upon an assessment of objective evidence of that investment's future prospects, to determine whether there is potential for the investment to recover in value. (iii) Premiums on loan stock investments are accrued at fair value when the Company receives the right to the premium and when considered recoverable. (iv) Where an earnings multiple or cost less impairment basis is not appropriate and overriding factors apply, discounted cash flow or net asset valuation bases may be applied. d) Capital gains and losses Capital gains and losses on investments, whether realised or unrealised, are dealt with in the profit and loss and revaluation reserves and movements in the period are shown in the Income Statement. 2. The Company revoked its status as an investment company on 7 September 2005, so that it can regard realised capital profits as part of the profits available for distribution. 3. Income Six months ended Year ended Six months ended 31 October 2013 30 April 2013 31 October 2012 (unaudited) (audited) (unaudited) Income from £ £ £ investments Dividends 59,416 135,481 48,314 Money-market funds 7,319 16,684 8,994 Loan stock interest 1,072,501 865,768 388,832 Bank deposit and other 1,599 991 735 interest Other income - 6,209 6,209 Total Income 1,140,835 1,025,133 453,084 4. Investment management expense Under the terms of a revised investment management agreement dated 10 September 2010, Mobeus provides investment advisory, administrative and company secretarial services to the Company, for a fee of 2.0% per annum calculated on a quarterly basis by reference to the net assets at the end of the preceding quarter, plus a fee of £104,432 per annum, the latter being subject to changes in the retail prices index each year. In the current period, the Board and the Investment Manager have agreed that further RPI increases will not occur until both parties agree. This agreement replaced the previous agreements with Mobeus dated 10 May 2000 and 20 September 2005, both novated to Mobeus on 20 October 2006, and the accounting services agreement and the secretarial services agreement with Matrix-Securities Limited both dated 20 September 2005, all of which were terminated on 10 September 2010. In accordance with the policy statement published under "Management and Administration" in the Company's prospectus dated 10 May 2000, the Directors have charged 75% of the investment management expenses to the capital account. This is in line with the Board's expectation of the long-term split of returns from the investment portfolio of the Company. 5. Taxation There is no tax charge in the period as the Company has utilised tax losses brought forward from previous years. 6.

This is due to an opening share buyback creditor of £48,844 settled during the period and a closing balance of £137,186. The Special distributable reserve provides the Company with a reserve out of which it can fund buy-backs of the Company's shares as and when it is considered by the Board to be in the interests of the shareholders, and to absorb any existing and future realised losses. Under Resolution 11 of the Annual General Meeting held on 20 September 2013, shareholders authorised the Company to purchase its own shares pursuant to section 693(4) of the Companies Act 2006. The authority is limited to a maximum of 14.99% of the issued Ordinary share capital of the Company, and will unless, previously revoked or renewed, expire on the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held in 2014. The maximum price that may be paid for Ordinary shares will be an amount equal to 105% of the average of the middle market quotation as taken from the London Stock Exchange daily official list for the five business days immediately preceding the day on which that Ordinary share is purchased. The minimum price that may be paid for Ordinary shares is 1 penny per share. The authority provides that the Company may make a contract to purchase Ordinary shares under the authority conferred by this resolution prior to the expiry of such authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiration of such authority and may make a purchase of Ordinary shares pursuant to such contract. 12.

INVESTOR PERFORMANCE APPENDIX Performance data at 31 October 2013 The two former 'C' and Ordinary classes of shares were merged on 10 September 2010, and the 'C' share class redesignated as Ordinary shares. The following tables show, for all investors in the former share classes, how their investments have performed since they were originally allotted shares in each fundraising. Total return data, which includes cumulative dividends paid to date, is shown on both a share price and NAV basis as at 31 October 2013. The NAV basis enables shareholders to evaluate more clearly the performance of the Investment Manager, as it reflects the underlying value of the portfolio at the reporting date. This is the most widely used measure of performance in the VCT sector.
