      Chair of ICG Enterprise Trust plc   Portfolio Manager for ICG Enterprise Trust plc    
        "ICGT's Portfolio of mature, profitable private companies has remained resilient during FY26.

    In recent years the Board and Manager have taken a number of steps to enhance ICGT's offering to shareholders, including through a differentiated capital allocation policy. This year, we have returned £51m to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, equivalent to 4% of opening NAV. The Board is renewing the long-term and opportunistic buyback programmes for FY27, and is reaffirming its commitment to the progressive dividend policy. Over the last five years, dividends per share have grown at an annualised rate of 10%.

    As an investment trust, ICGT does not need to accommodate subscriptions or redemptions. This enables us to manage the Portfolio actively to achieve long-term compounding growth for our shareholders. With our low net debt and high liquidity, we are well positioned to continue executing our strategy into FY27 and beyond."
        "Our actively-managed Portfolio is performing well across a number of important metrics. EBITDA growth of our portfolio companies was approximately 13% over the last twelve months1, and 25% of the opening Portfolio value was realised during the year.

    ICGT's low net debt and high liquidity gives us the flexibility to continue to deploy capital into high quality new investments, maintaining vintage diversification to support long-term growth.

    Macroeconomic uncertainty has risen post year-end; transaction activity in the near-term may slow. However, the Portfolio is positioned to benefit from a number of growth trends, with broad diversification and low leverage. This provides resilience and flexibility in the face of market turbulence."

    CHAIR’S STATEMENT

    Dear fellow shareholders,

    ICGT’s strategy is to invest in profitable, cash-generative private companies that can deliver long-term growth. A share in the Company provides access to a unique portfolio of such companies in the US and Europe, which is impossible to replicate in public markets.

    For the 12 months to 31 January 2026, ICGT generated a NAV per Share Total Return of 0.5% and the discount to NAV of its shares narrowed from 35% to 24%. Shareholders received a Share Price Total Return of 17.3% for the year.

    Over the last five years, ICGT has delivered an annualised NAV per Share Total Return of 10.0% and an annualised Share Price Total Return of 12.6%.

    In the months between the end of our financial year and the publication of this report, the environment for private equity has become more complicated and macroeconomic uncertainty has increased in a number of areas. In that context, I am confident in the experienced and dedicated team that manages ICGT, and I believe the Company has an attractive portfolio. We will remain focused on executing our investment strategy and allocating our capital thoughtfully.

    Performance

    ICGT’s portfolio returned 4.8% in local currency terms and 1.2% in sterling terms during FY26. Portfolio companies in aggregate have continued to generate double digit growth in profits1, and have modest leverage in the context of private equity.

    NAV per Share Total Return was 0.5% for FY26. This was a disappointing result albeit in a challenging market. The Board continues to have great confidence in our Portfolio of mature cash generative companies to deliver attractive returns for our shareholders.

    At 31 January 2026, ICGT had net debt of £33m and Total Available Liquidity of £227m, which the Board judges appropriate in the current environment.

    Shareholder engagement

    2025 saw a high level of engagement with shareholders. I and the Manager met with a wide range of investors, and we welcomed several new investors to our shareholder register. We were also pleased to win Investment Week’s ‘Investment Company of the Year 2025’ award in the private equity category.

    These conversations, together with the newsletter survey the Manager ran in October 2025, have helped to refine our programme of initiatives to engage with our existing shareholder base and attract new investors. The Board will oversee delivery of these initiatives and monitor their effectiveness.

    Capital allocation

    During the year, the Manager made new investments of £194m and committed £201m to new funds, in line with the programme approved and regularly reviewed by the Board. The Portfolio generated net cashflow of £188m.

    Alongside this investment activity, ICGT bought back 3% of its opening share count at an average discount of 32.3%. The Board regularly reviews the effectiveness of the programmes with the Manager and our advisers. The share buybacks undertaken during the year enhanced the NAV per Share Total Return by 1.1%.

    We maintain the progressive dividend policy, with total FY26 dividends of 39p per share. This represents an 8% increase on the prior year and the 13th consecutive year of ordinary dividend per share increases.

    Looking ahead

    I believe there is substantial value in ICGT’s shares, and your Board is committed to working with the Manager and other partners to support the marketing of ICGT to a wide range of current and potential shareholders.

    ICGT is managed by an experienced team with the resources, network and track record to navigate complex markets. The Company has a robust capital structure and liquidity, and an investment strategy that supports our objective of delivering long-term compounding returns.

    Thank you for your continued support.

    MANAGER’S REVIEW

    Alternative Performance Measures

    The Board and the Manager monitor the financial performance of the Company on the basis of Alternative Performance Measures (‘APM’), which are non-UK-adopted IAS measures. The APM predominantly form the basis of the financial measures discussed in this review, which the Board believes assists shareholders in assessing their investment and the delivery of the investment strategy.

    The Company holds certain investments in subsidiary entities. The substantive difference between APM and UK-IAS is the treatment of the assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries. The APM basis ‘looks through’ these subsidiaries to the underlying assets and liabilities they hold, and it reports the investments as the Portfolio APM, gross of the liability in respect of the Co-investment Incentive Scheme. Under UK-IAS, the Company and its subsidiaries are reported separately. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries, which include the liability in respect of the Co-investment Incentive Scheme, are presented on the face of the UK-IAS balance sheet as a single carrying value. The same is true for the UK-IAS and APM basis of the cash flow statement.

    The following table sets out UK-IAS metrics and the APM equivalents:

    Why private equity

    Every day the lives of those living and working in the US and Western Europe are touched by companies owned by private equity: retailers, payments processors, home security, pet food, health services – the list is long. What typically unites these companies is that they are profitable and cash generative. These companies are actively managed by their shareholders, with management teams heavily incentivised to generate returns. Increasingly, companies with these characteristics are choosing to grow under private equity ownership and to stay private for longer. Within that, ICGT focuses on a subset of those companies that we expect will generate resilient growth. As more companies are owned by private equity, we believe it is a structurally attractive allocation within an investment portfolio, with a track record of attractive returns, and significant opportunity to continue that trajectory.

    A share in ICGT gives you access to a unique portfolio of private companies.

    Our investment strategy

    Within developed markets, we focus on investing in buyouts of profitable, cash-generative businesses that exhibit resilient growth characteristics, which we believe will generate strong long-term compounding returns across economic cycles.

    We take an active approach to Portfolio construction, with a flexible mandate that enables us to deploy capital in Primary, Secondary and Direct Investments. Geographically, we focus on the developed markets of North America and Europe which have deep and mature private equity markets.

    ICG Enterprise Trust benefits from access to ICG-managed funds and Direct Investments, which represented 29% of the Portfolio value at period end and generated a 6.9% return on a Local Currency Basis.

    Performance overview

    At 31 January 2026, our Portfolio was valued at £1,353m, and the Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis for the financial year was 4.8% (FY25: 10.2%).

    Due to the geographic diversification of our Portfolio, the reported value is impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. During the period, FX movements affected the Portfolio negatively by £55m, driven by Sterling’s 10.4% appreciation against the US Dollar in the year. In sterling terms, Portfolio growth during the period was 1.2%.

    The net result for shareholders was that ICG Enterprise Trust generated a NAV per Share Total Return of 0.5% during FY26, ending the period with a NAV per Share of 2,045p.

    The five largest new investments in the period were as follows:

    Project Domino Diversified secondaries portfolio ICG Multiple 18.7
    Dayforce Provider of human capital management solutions Thoma Bravo United States 11.2

    Total of top 5 largest underlying new investments 58.1

    1 Represents ICG Enterprise Trust’s indirect investment (share of fund cost) plus any Direct Investments in the period.

    Occasionally ICGT simultaneously has both a realisation from and an investment into the same company in the same period. This typically occurs when an underlying fund sells a company that is purchased by another fund within ICGT’s portfolio. During FY26 shareholders will note that Minimax appears both in the top 5 realisations and top 5 new investments, which is a result of this situation.

    Growth

    The Portfolio grew by £73m (+4.8%) on a Local Currency Basis in the 12 months to 31 January 2026, driven by realised gains and supported by earnings growth on a weighted-average basis across the Enlarged Perimeter of 13%.

    No single movement at the level of an individual fund or direct investment had a positive or negative impact of greater than 0.5% on the overall Portfolio valuation.

    Growth across the Portfolio was split as follows:

    • By investment type: growth was spread across Primary (+5.2%), Secondary (+0.8%) and Direct (+6.0%)
    • By geography: North America and Europe experienced growth of +5.6% and +3.9% respectively

    The growth in the Portfolio is underpinned by the performance of our portfolio companies, which delivered robust financial performance during the period:

      Top 30 Enlarged Perimeter
    Portfolio coverage 37% 70%
    Last Twelve Months ('LTM') revenue growth 10% 10%
    LTM EBITDA growth 14% 13%

    Enterprise Value / EBITDA 15.9x 15.7x
    Note: values are weighted averages for the respective Portfolio segment; Enlarged Perimeter represents the aggregate value of the Top 30 Companies and a representative sample of primary funds; see Glossary for definition and calculation methodology

    Quoted Company Exposure

    We do not actively invest in publicly quoted companies but gain listed investment exposure when IPOs are used as a route to exit an investment. In these cases, exit timing typically lies with the manager with whom we have invested.

    At 31 January 2026, ICG Enterprise Trust’s exposure to quoted companies was valued at £52.4m, equivalent to 3.9% of the Portfolio value (31 January 2025: 4.8%). Across the Portfolio, quoted positions resulted in a £20.7m decrease in Portfolio NAV during the period. This negatively impacted the Portfolio Return on a Local Currency Basis by approximately 1.4%. The share price of our largest listed exposure, Chewy, decreased by 25% in local currency (USD) during the period.

    At 31 January 2026, Chewy was the only quoted investment that individually accounted for 0.5% or more of the Portfolio value:

    Other companies   2.7%

    Realisations

    During FY26, the ICG Enterprise Trust Portfolio generated Total Proceeds of £382m.

    Realisation activity during the period included 49 Full Exits generating proceeds of £196m. These were completed at a weighted average Uplift to Carrying Value of 11.2% and represent a weighted average Multiple to Cost of 3.0x for those investments.

    Dividend and share buyback

    ICG Enterprise Trust has a progressive dividend policy alongside two share buyback programmes to return capital to shareholders. In total ICGT returned £51m to shareholders in FY26 through dividends and buybacks.

    Dividends

    The Board has proposed a dividend of 12p per share in respect of the fourth quarter, taking total dividends for the year to 39p (FY25: 36p). This is the 13th consecutive year in which ordinary dividend per share increased.

    Share Buybacks

    The following purchases have been made under the Company's share buyback programmes:

    2. Since May 2024 (which was when the opportunistic buyback programme was launched) up to and including 31 January 2026.
    3. Based on date of settlement.

    Note: aggregate consideration excludes commission, PTM and SDRT.

    The Board believes the long-term buyback programme demonstrates the Manager’s discipline around capital allocation; underlines the Board’s confidence in the long-term prospects of the Company, its cash flows and NAV; will enhance the NAV per Share; and, over time, may positively influence the volatility of the Company’s discount and its trading liquidity. The Board reconfirms the long-term share buyback programme is intended to operate at any discount to NAV.

    The opportunistic buyback programme is intended to enable us to take advantage of attractive trading levels when we have the ability to purchase a meaningful number of shares. The size of the opportunistic buyback programme will be subject to a number of considerations, including the availability of shares and our cash flow experience and expectations.

    The Board has renewed both long-term and opportunistic buyback programmes for FY27, with the opportunistic buyback sized at up to £25m.

    Post Period-end: Volatility In Public Market Software Companies

    Post period-end, public market software companies experienced increased share price volatility amid concerns over the impact of Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’) on the sector.

    The investment team’s view is that, in general, software companies can be very attractive investments. Business models are characterised by high margins, sticky recurring revenues, low capital intensity and structural growth driven by digitalisation. The understandably strong investor appetite drove software valuations to become elevated and, in our view, unsupportable. Over the past six years, ICGT has taken a disciplined approach to software investing, declining opportunities in several high-quality companies where valuations were considered unsustainable.

    As a result, ICGT’s software exposure is 12%, which we believe is below the private market average. This exposure is focused on mission-critical businesses in areas such as accounting, payroll and compliance, which we consider resilient and, in every case, we only invested after stress-testing the impact of reduced exit valuations.

    Looking ahead, we believe a number of our software companies are well-positioned to benefit from AI, particularly those with deterministic products and deep domain expertise.

    The average EV/EBITDA multiple of our software investments at year-end was 21.6x. By comparison1, the S&P 500 Software Industry Index stood at 27x at the start of 2026.

    As public market movements feed through to private valuations over the coming quarters, we believe ICGT’s limited exposure, the quality of the existing software companies and our disciplined approach should continue to support portfolio resilience.

    HOW WE MANAGE RISK

    Identifying and evaluating the strategic, financial and operational impact of our key risks

    The execution of the Company’s investment strategy is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, and the Board and Manager have identified several principal risks to the Company’s business.

    As part of this process, the Board has put in place an ongoing process to identify, assess and monitor the principal and emerging risks facing the Company, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity.

    RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

    The Board is responsible for risk management and determining the Company’s overall risk appetite. The Audit Committee assesses and monitors the risk management framework and specifically reviews the controls and assurance programmes in place.

    Principal Risks

    The Company’s principal risks are individual risks, or a combination of risks, that could threaten the Company’s business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity.

    Details of the Company’s principal risks, potential impact, controls and mitigating factors are set out on pages 23 to 26.

    Other Risks

    Other risks, including reputational risk, are actively managed and mitigated as part of the wider risk management framework of the Company and the Manager.

    Emerging Risks

    Emerging risks are considered by the Board and are regularly assessed to identify any potential impact on the Company and to determine whether any actions are required. Emerging risks often arise from regulatory, legislative, macro-economic and political changes.

    The Company depends upon the experience, skill and reputation of the employees of the Manager. The Manager’s ability to retain the services of these individuals, who are not obligated to remain employed by the Manager, and recruit successfully, is a significant factor in the success of the Company.

    PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

    The Company considers its principal risks (as well as several underlying risks comprising each principal risk) in four categories:

    1.   Investment risks

    The risk to performance resulting from ineffective or inappropriate investment selection, execution or monitoring.

    2.   External risks

    The risk of failing to deliver the Company’s investment objective and strategic goals due to external factors beyond the Company’s control.

    3.   Operational risks

    The risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems and external events, including regulatory risk.

    4.   Financial risks

    The risk of adverse impact on the Company due to having insufficient resources to meet its obligations or counterparty failure and the impact any material movement in foreign exchange rates may have on underlying valuations.

    RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS

    A comprehensive risk assessment process is undertaken regularly to re-evaluate the impact and probability of each risk materialising and the strategic, financial and operational impact of the risk. Where the residual risk is determined to be outside appetite, appropriate action is taken. Further information on risk factors is set out within the financial statements.

    Risk Appetite And Tolerance

    The Board acknowledges and recognises that in the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to risk and it is willing to accept a certain level of risk in managing the business to achieve its targeted returns. The Board’s risk appetite framework provides a basis for the ongoing monitoring of risks and enables dialogue with respect to the Company’s current and evolving risk profile, allowing strategic and financial decisions to be made on an informed basis.

    The Board considers several factors to determine its acceptance for each principal risk and categorises acceptance for each risk as low, moderate and high.

    Where a risk is approaching or is outside the tolerance set, the Board will consider the appropriateness of actions being taken to manage the risk. In particular, the Board has a lower tolerance for financing risk with the aim to ensure that even under a stress scenario, the Company is likely to meet its funding requirements and financial obligations. Similarly, the Board has a low risk tolerance concerning operational risks including legal, tax and regulatory compliance and business process and continuity risk.

    INVESTMENT RISKS      
    INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

    The Manager selects the fund investments and Direct Investments for the Company’s Portfolio, executing the investment strategy approved by the Board. The underlying managers of those funds in turn select individual investee companies. The origination, investment selection and management capabilities of both the Manager and the third-party managers are key to the performance of the Company.
    Poor origination, investment selection and monitoring by the Manager and/or third-party managers which may have a negative impact on Portfolio performance. The Manager has a strong track record of investing in private equity through multiple economic cycles. The Manager has a highly selective investment approach and disciplined process, which is overseen by ICG Enterprise Trust’s Investment Committee within the Manager, which comprises a balance of skills and perspectives.
    Further, the Company’s Portfolio is diversified, reducing the likelihood of a single investment decision impacting Portfolio performance.
    STABLE
    The Board is responsible for ensuring that the investment policy is met. The day-to-day management of the Company’s assets is delegated to the Manager under investment guidelines determined by the Board. The Board regularly reviews these guidelines to ensure they remain appropriate and monitors compliance with the guidelines through regular reports from the Manager, including performance reporting. The Board also reviews the investment strategy at least annually.
    Following this assessment and other considerations, the Board concluded that investment performance risk has remained stable.
    VALUATION

    In valuing its investments in private equity funds and unquoted companies and publishing its NAV, the Company relies to a significant extent on the accuracy of financial and other information provided by the underlying managers to the Manager. There is the potential for inconsistency in the valuation methods adopted by the managers of these funds and companies and for valuations to be misstated.
    Incorrect valuations being provided would lead to an incorrect overall NAV. The Manager carries out a formal valuation process quarterly including a review of third-party valuations.

    This process includes a comparison of unaudited valuations to latest audited reports, as well as a review of any potential adjustments that are required to ensure the valuations of the underlying investments are in accordance with the fair market value principles required under UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (‘IAS’).
    STABLE

    The Board regularly reviews and discusses the valuation process in detail with the Manager, including the sources of valuation information and methodologies used.

    Following this assessment and other considerations, the Board concluded that there was no material change in valuation risk.
    EXTERNAL RISKS      
    POLITICAL AND MACRO-ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY

    Political and macro-economic uncertainty and other global events, such as pandemics and conflicts, that are outside the Company’s control could adversely impact the environment in which the Company and its investment portfolio companies operate.
    Changes in the political or macro-economic environment could significantly affect the performance of existing investments (and valuations) and prospects for realisations. In addition, they could impact the number of credible investment opportunities the Company can originate. The Manager uses a range of complementary approaches to inform strategic planning and risk mitigation, including active investment management, profitability and balance sheet scenario planning and stress testing to ensure resilience across a range of outcomes.
    The process is supported by a dedicated in-house economist and professional advisers where appropriate.
    INCREASING

    The Board monitors and reviews the potential impact on the Company from political and economic developments on an ongoing basis, including input and discussions with the Manager.

    Incorporating these views and other considerations, the Board concluded that this risk had increased.
    CLIMATE CHANGE

    The underlying managers of the fund investments and Direct Investments in the Company’s Portfolio fail to ensure that their portfolio companies respond to the emerging threats from climate change.
    Climate-related transition risks, driven in particular by abrupt shifts in the political and technological landscape, impact the value of the Company’s Portfolio. The Manager has a well-defined, firm-wide Responsible Investing Policy and sustainable investing framework in place.

    A tailored sustainable investing framework applies across all stages of the Company’s investment process.
    STABLE

    The Board monitors and reviews the potential impact to the Company from failures by underlying managers to mitigate the impact of climate change on portfolio company valuation.
    THE LISTED PRIVATE EQUITY SECTOR

    The listed private equity sector could fall out of favour with investors leading to a reduction in demand for the Company’s shares.
    A change in sentiment to the sector has the potential to damage the Company’s reputation and impact the performance of the Company’s share price and widen the discount the shares trade at relative to NAV per Share, causing shareholder dissatisfaction. Private equity continues to outperform public markets over the long term and has proved to be an attractive asset class through various cycles. The Manager is active in marketing the Company’s shares to a wide variety of investors to ensure the market is informed about the Company’s performance and investment proposition.

    In setting the capital allocation policy, including the allocations to dividends and share buybacks, the Board monitors the discount to NAV and considers appropriate solutions to address any ongoing or substantial discount to NAV.
    STABLE

    The Board receives regular updates from the Company’s broker and is kept informed of all material discussions with investors and analysts.
    FOREIGN EXCHANGE
    The Company has continued to expand its geographic diversity by making investments in different countries. Accordingly, most investments are denominated in US dollars and euros.
    The Company does not hedge its foreign exchange exposure. Therefore, movements in exchange rates between these currencies may have a material effect on the underlying sterling valuations of the investments and performance of the Company. The Board regularly reviews the Company’s exposure to currency risk and reconsiders possible hedging strategies on at least an annual basis. Furthermore, the Company’s multicurrency bank facility permits the borrowings to be drawn in euros and US dollars, as required. STABLE
    The Board reviewed the Company’s exposure to currency risk and possible hedging strategies and concluded that there was no material change in foreign exchange risk during the year and that it remains appropriate for the Company not to hedge its foreign exchange exposure.
    OPERATIONAL RISKS      
    REGULATORY, LEGAL AND TAX COMPLIANCE
    Failure by the Manager to comply with relevant regulation and legislation could have an adverse impact on the Company. Additionally, adherence to changes in the legal, regulatory and tax framework applicable to the Manager could become onerous, lessening competitive or market opportunities.
    The failure of the Manager and the Company to comply with the rules of professional conduct and relevant laws and regulations could expose the Company to regulatory sanction and penalties as well as significant damage to its reputation. The Board is responsible for ensuring the Company’s compliance with all applicable regulatory, legal and tax requirements. Monitoring of this compliance has been delegated to the Manager, of which the in-house Legal, Compliance and Risk functions provide regular updates to the Board covering relevant changes to regulation and legislation.
    The Board and the Manager continually monitor regulatory, legislative and tax developments to ensure early engagement in any areas of potential change.
    STABLE
    The Company remains responsive to a wide range of developing regulatory areas; and will continue to enhance its processes and controls in order to remain compliant with current and expected legislation.
    KEY PROFESSIONALS
    Loss of key professionals at the Manager could impair the Company’s ability to deliver its investment strategy and meet its external obligations if replacements are not found in a timely manner.
    If the Manager’s team is not able to deliver its objectives, investment opportunities could be missed or misevaluated, while existing investment performance may suffer. The Board has frequent dialogue with the Manager about its resourcing model and succession planning. The Manager employs an active and comprehensive approach to attract, retain and develop talent. This includes a well-defined recruitment process, succession planning, competitive long-term compensation and incentives. STABLE
    The Board reviewed the Company’s exposure to people risk and concluded that the Manager continues to operate sustainable succession, competitive remuneration and retention plans.
    The Board believes that the risk in respect of people remains stable.
    THE MANAGER AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS (INCLUDING BUSINESS PROCESSES, BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND CYBER)
    The Company is dependent on third parties for the provision of services and systems, especially those of the Manager, the Administrator and the Depositary.
    Failure by a third-party provider to deliver services in accordance with its contractual obligations could disrupt or compromise the functioning of the Company. A material loss of service could result in, among other things, an inability to perform business critical functions, financial loss, legal liability, regulatory censure and reputational damage.
    The failure of the Manager and Administrator to deliver an appropriate cyber security platform for critical technology systems could result in unauthorised access by malicious third parties, breaching the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Company data, negatively impacting the Company’s reputation.
    The Audit Committee formally assesses the internal controls of the Manager, the Administrator and Depositary on an annual basis to ensure adequate controls are in place.
    The assessment in respect of the current year is discussed in the Report of the Audit Committee.
    The Management Agreement and agreements with other third-party service providers are subject to notice periods that are designed to provide the Board with adequate time to put in place alternative arrangements.
    STABLE
    The Board carries out a formal annual assessment (supported by the Manager’s internal audit function) of the Manager’s internal controls and risk management systems.
    The Board also received regular reporting from the Manager and other third parties.
    Following this review and other considerations, the Board concluded that there was no material change in the Manager and other third-party suppliers risk.
    FINANCIAL RISKS      
    FINANCING
    The Company has outstanding commitments to private equity funds in excess of total liquidity that may be drawn down at any time. The ability to fund this difference is dependent on receiving cash proceeds from investments (the timing of which are unpredictable) and the availability of financing facilities.
    If the Company encountered difficulties in meeting its outstanding commitments, there would be significant reputational damage as well as risk of damages being claimed from managers and other counterparties. The Manager monitors the Company’s liquidity, overcommitment ratio and covenants on a frequent basis, and undertakes cash flow monitoring, and provides regular updates on these activities to the Board. STABLE
    The Board reviewed the Company’s exposure to financing risk, noting the Net Debt position, the increase in available liquidity and the short-term realisation forecast, and concluded that this risk was stable.

    1 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

    General information

    These financial statements relate to ICG Enterprise Trust Plc (‘the Company’). ICG Enterprise Trust Plc is registered in England and Wales and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and its registered office is Procession House, 55 Ludgate Hill, London EC4M 7JW. The Company’s objective is to provide long-term growth by investing in private companies managed by leading private equity managers.

    (a) Basis of preparation

    The financial information for the year ended 31 January 2026 has been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards (‘UK-IAS’) and the Statement of Recommended Practice (‘SORP’) for investment trusts issued by the Association of Investment Companies in July 2022.

    UK-IAS comprises standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and the IFRS Interpretations Committee.

    These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and on the historical cost basis of accounting, modified for the revaluation of certain assets at fair value. The directors have concluded that the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis continues to be appropriate.

    Going concern

    In assessing the appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis of accounting, the Board has assessed the financial position and prospects of the Company. The Company’s business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development, performance, position and cash flows, are set out in the Chair’s statement on page 6, and the Manager’s review on page 8.

    As part of this review, the Board assessed the potential impact of principal risks on the Company’s business activities, the Company’s cash position, the availability of the Company’s credit facility and compliance with its covenants, and the Company’s cash flow projections.

    Based on this assessment, the Board expects that the Company will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due until, at least, 31 May 2027, a period of more than 12 months from the signing of the financial statements. Therefore it is appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of the Company’s financial statements.

    Climate change

    In preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the impact of climate change, particularly in the context of the climate change risks identified in the Principal risks and uncertainties section of the Strategic Report, and the impact of climate change risk on the valuation of investments.

    These considerations did not have a material impact on the financial reporting judgements and estimates in the current year, nor were they expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s going concern or viability.

    Accounting policies

    The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently throughout the current and prior year. In order to reflect the activities of an investment trust company, supplementary information which analyses the income statement between items of revenue and capital nature has been presented alongside the income statement. In analysing total income between capital and revenue returns, the directors have followed the guidance contained in the SORP as follows:

    Capital gains and losses on investments sold and on investments held arising on the revaluation or disposal of investments classified as held at fair value through profit or loss should be shown in the capital column of the income statement.

    Returns on any share or debt security for a fixed amount (whether in respect of dividends, interest or otherwise) should be shown in the revenue column of the income statement.

    The Board should determine whether the indirect costs of generating capital gains should also be shown in the capital column of the income statement. If the Board decides that this should be so, the management fee should be allocated between revenue and capital in accordance with the Board’s expected long-term split of returns, and other expenses should be charged to capital only to the extent that a clear connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of investments can be demonstrated.

    The accounting policy regarding the allocation of expenses is set out in Note 1(j).

    In accordance with IFRS 10 (amended), the Company is deemed to be an investment entity on the basis that:
    (a) it obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing investors with investment management services;
    (b) it commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds for both returns from capital appreciation and investment income; and
    (c) it measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
    As a result, the Company’s controlled structured entities (‘subsidiaries’) are deemed to be investments and are classified as held at fair value through profit and loss.

    New and amended standards and interpretations

    The Company adopts new standards, if applicable, when they become effective. There are no new standards that are expected to have a material impact on the Company. IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements is not expected to have a material impact on the results or net assets of the Company, the impact on the presentation of the financial statements is still being assessed.

    (b) Financial assets

    The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss; and at amortised cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. The classification of financial assets is determined at initial recognition.

    Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

    The Company classifies its quoted and unquoted investments as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These assets are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value and further details of the accounting policy are disclosed in Note 1(c).

    Financial assets at amortised cost

    Financial assets at amortised cost are non-derivative financial assets which pass the contractual cash flow test and are held to receive contractual cash flows. These are classified as current assets and measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The Company’s financial assets at amortised cost comprise cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables in the balance sheet.

    (c) Investments

    Investments comprise fund investments and portfolio company investments held by the Company directly, together with the fair value of the Company’s interest in controlled structured entities (see Note 9) which themselves invest in fund investments and portfolio company investments.

    All investments are classified upon initial recognition as held at fair value through profit or loss (described in these financial statements as investments held at fair value) and are measured at subsequent reporting dates at fair value. All investments are fair valued in line with IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value Measurement’, using industry standard valuation guidelines such as the International Private Equity and Venture Capital (‘IPEV’) valuation guidelines. Changes in the value of all investments held at fair value, which include returns on those investments such as dividends and interest, are recognised in the income statement and are allocated to the revenue column or the capital column in accordance with the SORP (see Note 1(a)). More detail on certain categories of investment is set out below. Given that the subsidiaries and associates are held at fair value and are exposed to materially similar risks as the Company, we do not expect the risks to materially differ from those disclosed in Note 17.

    Unquoted investments

    Fund investments and Co-investments (collectively ‘unquoted investments’) are fair valued using the net asset value of those unquoted investments as determined by the investment manager of those funds. The investment manager performs periodic valuations of the underlying investments in their funds, typically using earnings multiple or discounted cash flow methodologies to determine enterprise value in line with IPEV guidelines. In the absence of contrary information, these net asset valuations received from the investment managers are deemed to be appropriate by the Manager, for the purposes of the Manager’s determination of the fair values of the unquoted investments. A robust assessment is performed by the Manager’s experienced Investment Committee to determine the capability and track record of the investment manager. All investment managers are scrutinised by the Investment Committee and an approval process is recorded before any new investment manager is approved and an investment made. This level of scrutiny provides reasonable comfort that the investment manager’s valuation will be consistent with the requirement to use fair value.

    Adjustments may be made to the net asset values provided or an alternative valuation method may be adopted if deemed to be more appropriate. The most common reason for adjustments to the value provided by an underlying manager is to take account of events occurring between the date of the manager’s valuation and the reporting date, for example, subsequent cash flows or notification of an agreed sale.

    Subsidiary undertakings

    The investments in the controlled structured entities (‘subsidiaries’) are recognised at fair value through profit and loss.

    The valuation of the subsidiaries takes into account an accrual for the estimated value of interests in the Co-investment Incentive Scheme. Under these arrangements, ICG (the ‘Manager’) and certain of its executives and, in respect of certain historic investments, the executives and connected parties of Graphite Capital Management LLP (the ‘Former Manager’) (together ‘the Co-investors’), are required to co-invest alongside the Company, for which they are entitled to a share of investment profits if certain performance hurdles are met. At 31 January 2026, the accrual was estimated as the theoretical value of the interests if the Portfolio had been sold at the carrying value at that date.

    Associates

    The Company holds an interest (including indirectly through its subsidiaries) of more than 20% in a small number of investments that may normally be classified as subsidiaries or associates. These investments are not considered subsidiaries or associates as the Company does not exert control or significant influence over the activities of these companies/structured entities as they are managed by other third parties.

    (d) Prepayments and receivables

    Receivables include unamortised fees which were incurred directly in relation to the agreement of a financing facility. These fees will be amortised over the life of the facility on a straight-line basis.

    (e) Borrowings

    Borrowings drawdowns are recognised initially at cost being the fair value of the amounts received upon utilisation. They are subsequently stated at amortised cost.

    (f) Payables

    Other payables are non-interest bearing and are stated at their amortised cost, which is not materially different from fair value.

    (g) Cash and cash equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.

    (h) Dividend distributions

    Dividend distributions to shareholders are recognised in the period in which they are paid.

    (i) Income

    When it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount can be measured reliably, interest is recognised on a time apportionment basis.

    Dividends receivable on quoted equity shares are brought into account on the ex-dividend date. Dividends receivable on equity shares where no ex-dividend date is applicable are brought into account when the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

    UK dividend income is recorded at the amount receivable. Overseas dividend income is shown net of withholding tax. Income distributions from funds are recognised when the right to distributions is established.

    (j) Expenses

    All expenses are accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenses are allocated to the revenue column in the income statement, consistent with the SORP, with the following exceptions:

    • Expenses which are incidental to the acquisition or disposal of investments (transaction costs) are allocated to the capital column.
    • The Board expects the majority of long-term returns from the Portfolio to be generated from capital gains. Expenses are allocated 90% to the capital column and 10% to the revenue column, reflecting the Company’s current and future return profile. Other expenses are allocated to the capital column where a clear connection with the maintenance or enhancement of the value of investments can be demonstrated.
    • All expenses allocated to the capital column are treated as realised capital losses (see Note 1(m).

    (k) Taxation

    Investment trusts which have approval as such under Section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 are not liable for taxation on capital gains.

    Tax recognised in the income statement represents the sum of current tax and deferred tax charged or credited in the year. The tax effect of different items of expenditure is allocated between capital and revenue on the same basis as the particular item to which it relates.

    Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

    Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are not recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward to future periods.

    Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the assets are realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

    (l) Foreign currency translation

    The functional and presentation currency of the Company is sterling, reflecting the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.

    Transactions in currencies other than sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on the balance sheet date.

    Gains and losses arising on the translation of investments held at fair value are included within gains and losses on investments held at fair value in the income statement. Gains and losses arising on the translation of other financial assets and liabilities are included within foreign exchange gains and losses in the income statement.

    (m) Revenue and capital reserves

    The revenue return component of total income is taken to the revenue reserve within the statement of changes in equity. The capital return component of total income is taken to the capital reserve within the statement of changes in equity.

    Gains and losses on the realisation of investments including realised exchange gains and losses and expenses of a capital nature are taken to the realised capital reserve (see Note 1(j). Changes in the valuations of investments which are held at the year end and unrealised exchange differences are accounted for in the unrealised capital reserve.

    Net gains on the realisation of investments in the controlled structured entities (see Note 9) are transferred to the Company by way of profit distributions.

    The revenue reserve is distributable by way of dividends to shareholders. The realised capital reserve is distributable by way of dividends and share buybacks. The capital redemption reserve is not distributable and represents the nominal value of shares bought back for cancellation.

    (n) Treasury shares

    Shares that have been repurchased into treasury remain included in the share capital balance, unless they are cancelled.

    (o) Critical estimates and assumptions

    Estimates and judgements used in preparing the financial information are continually evaluated and are based on historic experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable. The resulting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

    In preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the impact of climate change on the key estimates within the financial statements.

    The only estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next financial year relate to the valuation of unquoted investments. Unquoted investments are primarily the Company’s investments in unlisted funds, managed by investment fund managers and ICG. As such there is significant estimation in the valuation of the unlisted fund at a point in time. Note 1(c) sets out the accounting policy for unquoted investments. The carrying amount of unquoted investments at the year end is disclosed within Note 10.

    (p) Segmental reporting

    Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the segments has been identified as the Board. It is considered that the Company’s operations comprise a single operating segment.

    5 DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION AND INTERESTS

    No income was received or receivable by the directors from any other subsidiary of the Company.

    6 TAXATION

    In both the current and prior years the tax charge was lower than the standard rate of corporation tax of 25%, principally due to the Company’s status as an investment trust, which means that capital gains are not subject to corporation tax. The effect of this and other items affecting the tax charge are shown in Note 6(b) below:

    Effect of:    
    – net investment returns not subject to corporation tax (4,279) (33,357)
    – dividends not subject to corporation tax (363) (52)
    – expenses not deductible for tax purposes 1,588 1,353
    – taxable allocation of income and expenses from partnerships 138 489
    – current year management expenses not utilised/(utilised) 5,024 4,777
    Total tax charge

    The Company has £89.5m excess management expenses carried forward (2025: £70.0m). No deferred tax assets or liabilities (2025: nil) have been recognised in respect of the carried forward management expenses due to the uncertainty that future taxable profit will be generated that these losses can be offset against. For all investments the tax base is equal to the carrying amount. There was no deferred tax expense relating to the origination and reversal of timing differences in the year (2025: nil).

    10 INVESTMENTS

    The tables below analyse the movement in the carrying value of the Company’s investments in the year. In accordance with accounting standards, subsidiary undertakings of the Company are reported at fair value rather than on a ‘look-through’ basis.

    An investee fund is considered to generate realised gains or losses if it is more than 85% drawn and has returned at least the amount invested by the Company. All gains and losses arising from the underlying investments of such funds are presented as realised. All gains and losses in respect of fund investments that have not satisfied the above criteria are presented as unrealised.

    Direct Investments are considered to generate realised gains or losses when they are sold.

    Investments are held by both the Company and through its subsidiaries.

    The Company and its subsidiaries had no other unfunded commitments to investment funds. Commitments made by the Company and its subsidiaries are irrevocable.

    As at 31 January 2026, the Company (excluding its subsidiaries) had uncalled commitments in relation to the above Portfolio of £174.4m (2025: £114.3m). The Company did not have any contingent liabilities at 31 January 2026 (2025: none).

    The Company’s subsidiaries, which are not consolidated, had the balance of uncalled commitments in relation to the above Portfolio of £460.9m (2025: £438.9m). The Company is responsible for financing its pro-rata share of those uncalled commitments (see Note 9).

    17 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

    The Company is an investment company as defined by Section 833 of the Companies Act 2006 and conducts its affairs so as to qualify as an investment trust under the provisions of Section 1158 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (‘Section 1158’). The Company’s objective is to provide long-term growth by investing in private companies managed by leading private equity managers.

    Investments in funds have anticipated lives of approximately 10 years. Direct Investments are made with an anticipated holding period of between three and five years.

    Financial risk management

    The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (comprising currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), investment risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance. The Board has overall responsibility for managing the risks and the framework for monitoring and co-ordinating these risks. The Audit Committee regularly reviews, identifies and evaluates the risks taken by the Company to allow them to be appropriately managed. All of the Company’s management functions are delegated to the Manager which has its own internal control and risk monitoring arrangements. The Committee makes a regular assessment of these arrangements, with reference to the Company’s risk matrix. The Company’s financial risk management objectives and processes used to manage these risks have not changed from the previous period and the policies are set out below:

    Market risk

    (i) Currency risk

    The Company’s investments are principally in continental Europe, the US and the UK, and are primarily denominated in euro, US dollars and sterling. There are also smaller amounts in other European currencies. The Company’s investments in controlled structured entities are reported in sterling. The Company is exposed to currency risk in that movements in the value of sterling against these foreign currencies will affect the net asset value and the cash required to fund undrawn commitments. The Board regularly reviews the level of foreign currency denominated assets and outstanding commitments in the context of current market conditions and may decide to buy or sell currency or put in place currency hedging arrangements. No hedging arrangements were in place during the financial year.

    The composition of the net assets of the Company by reporting currency at the year end is set out below:

      Sterling Euro USD Other Total
    31 January 2026 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000
    Investments 1,026,902 85,458 196,546 (6) 1,308,900
    Cash and cash equivalents and other net current assets/(liabilities) (44,933) 6,233 2,369 3 (36,328)
      981,969 91,691 198,915 (3) 1,272,572
               
      Sterling Euro USD Other Total
    31 January 2025 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000
    Investments 1,201,166 81,755 186,623 5 1,469,549
    Cash and cash equivalents and other net current assets/(liabilities) (139,168) 1,385 618 8 (137,157)
      1,061,998 83,140 187,241 13 1,332,392

    On a look-through basis to the currency of the portfolio company, the effect of a 25% increase or decrease in the sterling value of the euro would be a fall of £117.4m and a rise of £114.9m in the value of shareholders’ equity and on profit after tax at 31 January 2026 respectively (2025: a fall of £71.3m and a rise of £65.1m based on a 25% increase or decrease). The effect of a 25% increase or decrease in the sterling value of the US dollar would be a fall of £181.5m and a rise of £178.4m in the value of shareholders’ equity and on profit after tax at 31 January 2026 respectively (2025: a fall of £158m and a rise of £152.1m based on a 25% movement). The percentages applied are based on market volatility in exchange rates observed in prior periods.

    (ii) Interest rate risk

    The Company’s assets primarily comprise non-interest bearing investments in funds and non-interest bearing investments in portfolio companies. The fair values of these investments are not significantly directly affected by changes in interest rates. The Company’s net debt balance is exposed to interest rate risk; the financial impact of this risk is currently immaterial.

    The Company is indirectly exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of interest rates on the performance of investments in funds and portfolio companies as a result of interest rate changes impacting the underlying manager valuation. This performance impact as a result of interest rate risk is recognised through the valuation of those investments, which will be affected by the impact of any change in interest rates on the financial performance of the underlying portfolio companies and also on any valuation of those investments for sale. The Company is not able to quantify how a change in interest rates would impact valuations.

    (iii) Price risk

    The risk that the value of a financial instrument will change as a result of changes to market prices is one that is fundamental to the Company’s objective, which is to provide long-term capital growth through investment in unquoted companies. The investment Portfolio is continually monitored to ensure an appropriate balance of risk and reward in order to achieve the Company’s objective.

    The Company is exposed to the risk of change in value of its private equity investments. For all investments the market variable is deemed to be the price itself. The table below shows the impact of a 30% increase or decrease in the valuation of the investment Portfolio. The percentages applied are reasonable based on the Manager’s view of the potential for volatility in the Portfolio valuations under stressed conditions.

      31 January 2026 31 January 2025
      Increase in variable Decrease in variable Increase in variable Decrease in variable
      £’000 £’000 £’000 £’000
    30% (2025: 30%) movement in the price of investments        
    Impact on profit after tax 372,686 (382,564) 423,339 (370,568)

    A reasonably possible percentage change in relation to the earnings estimates or Enterprise Value/EBITDA multiples used by the underlying managers to value the private equity fund investments and co-investments may result in a significant change in fair value of unquoted investments

    Investment and credit risk

    (i) Investment risk

    Investment risk is the risk that the financial performance of the companies in which the Company invests either improves or deteriorates, thereby affecting the value of that investment. Investments in unquoted companies whether indirectly or directly are, by their nature, subject to potential investment losses. The investment Portfolio is highly diversified in order to mitigate this risk.

    (ii) Credit risk

    The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises principally from its investment in cash deposits. The Company aims to invest the majority of its liquid portfolio in assets which have low credit risk. The Company’s policy is to limit exposure to any one investment to 15% of gross assets. This is regularly monitored by the Manager as a part of its cash management process.

    Additionally, the Company is exposed to credit risk through its investments in unquoted companies and the company’s subsidiaries (refer to Note 10).

    Cash is held on deposit with Royal Bank of Scotland (‘RBS’) and totalled £33.8m (2025: £3.9m). RBS currently has a credit rating of A1 from Moody’s. This represented the maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date. No collateral is held by the Company in respect of these amounts. None of the Company’s cash deposits or money market fund balances were past due or impaired at 31 January 2026 (2025: nil) and as a result of this, no ECL provision has been recorded.

    Liquidity risk

    The Company makes commitments to private equity funds in advance of that capital being invested, typically in illiquid, unquoted companies. These commitments are in excess of the Company’s total liquidity, therefore resulting in an overcommitment. When determining the appropriate level of overcommitment, the Board considers the rate at which commitments might be drawn down, typically over four to six years, versus the rate at which existing investments are sold and cash realised. The Company has an established liquidity management policy, which involves active monitoring and assessment of the Company’s liquidity position and its overcommitment risk. This is regularly reviewed by the Board and incorporated into the Board’s assessment of the viability of the Company.This process incorporates balance sheet and cash flow projections, including scenarios with varying levels of Portfolio gains and losses, fund drawdowns and realisations, availability of the credit facility, exchange rates and possible remedial action that the Company could undertake if required in the event of significant Portfolio declines.

    At the year end, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totalling €33.8m and had access to committed bank facilities of £260m maturing in May 2029, which is a multi-currency revolving credit facility provided by SMBC and Lloyds. The key terms of the facility are:

    • Upfront cost: 120bps.
    • Non-utilisation fees: 115bps per annum.
    • Margin on drawn amounts: 300bps per annum.

    As at 31 January 2026 the Company’s total financial liabilities amounted to £71.7m (2025: £143.1m) of payables which were due in less than one year, which includes accrued balances payable in respect of the credit facility above.

    Movement in financial liabilities arising from financing activities

    The following table sets out the movements in total liabilities held at amortised cost arising from financing activities undertaken during the year.

      31 January 2026 31 January 2025
      £’000 £’000
    At 1 February 134,775 22,062
    Proceeds from borrowings 126,608 139,762
    Repayment of long term borrowings (196,875) (27,831)
    Foreign exchange and other movements 2,061 782
    At 31 January 66,569 134,775
         

    Capital risk management

    The Company’s capital is represented by its net assets, which are managed to achieve the Company’s investment objective. As at the year end, the Company had net debt of £32.7m (2025: £128.0m).

    The Board can manage the capital structure directly since it has taken the powers, which it is seeking to renew, to issue and buy back shares and it also determines dividend payments. The Company complied with its externally imposed capital requirements with respect to the obligation and ability to pay dividends by Section 1159 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 and by the Companies Act 2006, respectively. Total equity at 31 January 2026, the composition of which is shown on the balance sheet, was £1,272.6m (2025: £1,332.4m).

    Fair values estimation

    IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements of financial instruments categorised according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

    • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
    • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
    • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

    The valuation techniques applied to level 3 assets are described in Note 1(c) of the financial statements.
    No investments were categorised as level 1 or level 2.

    The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting year when they are deemed to occur.

    The sensitivity of the Company’s investments to a change in value is discussed on page 49.
    The following table presents the assets that are measured at fair value at 31 January 2026 and 31 January 2025:

    Subsidiary undertakings 1,164,320 1,164,320
    Total investments held at fair value 1,469,549 1,469,549

    All investments are valued at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13. The Company has no quoted investments as at 31 January 2026 (2025: nil); quoted investments held by subsidiary undertakings are reported within Level 3.

    Investments in Level 3 securities are in respect of private equity fund investments and co-investments. These are held at fair value and are calculated using valuations provided by the underlying manager of the investment, with adjustments made to the statements to take account of cash flow events occurring after the date of the manager’s valuation, such as realisations or liquidity adjustments.

    The following tables present the changes in Level 3 instruments for the year to 31 January 2026 and 31 January 2025.

    The additions figure includes amounts of £11.1m (2025: £8.9m) from the parent to subsidiary which relate to incentive payments that are included in the ‘Cash flow to subsidiaries’ investments line in the Cash Flow Statement. The gains and losses recognised in profit or loss in the note do not align directly with the Income Statement due to difference in classification and disclosure requirements.

    GLOSSARY

    Term Short form Definition
    Alternative Performance Measures

    APMs Alternative Performance Measures (‘APMs’) are a term defined by the European Securities and Markets Authority as ‘financial measures of historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows, other than a financial measure defined or specified in the applicable financial reporting framework’.
    APMs are used in this report if considered by the Board and the Manager to be the most relevant basis for shareholders in assessing the overall performance of the Company and for comparing the performance of the Company to its peers, taking into account industry practice.
    Definitions and reconciliations to IFRS measures are provided in the main body of the report or in this Glossary, where appropriate.

    Buyback impact on NAV per Share























      Buyback impact on NAV per Share is calculated by comparing the NAV per Share with an adjusted NAV per Share as follows:
      Year ended
    31 January 2026
    Since inception (Oct. 22)  
    Opening number of shares 64,278,192 68,517,055 A
    Number of shares bought back in period 2,038,722 6,277,585  
    Closing number of shares 62,239,470 62,239,470 B
    31 January 2026 NAV £1,273m £1,273m C
    Add back cash invested in buybacks £28m £79m  
    31 January 2026 NAV
    + cash invested in buybacks
    £1,300m £1,351m D
    31 January 2026 NAV per Share 2,044.6 p 2,044.6 p E (C/B)
    Pro forma NAV per share excluding buybacks 2,023.1p 1,972.0p F (D/A)
    Impact of buybacks 21.5p 72.6p G (E-F)
    NAV per Share accretion
    from buybacks
    1.1% 3.7% G/F
    Note: scenario excluding buyback does not include any cash impact of dividends that would have been paid to holders of those shares had the buyback not been undertaken.
    Carried Interest   Carried Interest is equivalent to a performance fee. This represents a share of the profits that will accrue to the underlying private equity managers, after achievement of an agreed Preferred Return.
    Cash drag   Cash drag is the negative impact on performance arising as a result of the allocation of a portion of the entity’s assets to cash.
    Co-investment   Co-investment is a Direct Investment in a company alongside a private equity fund.
    Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual   Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual represents the estimated value of interests in the Co-investment Incentive Scheme operated by the subsidiary partnerships of the Company.
    Commitment   Commitment represents the amount of capital that each investor agrees to contribute to a fund or a specific investment.
    Compound Annual Growth Rate CAGR The rate of return that would be required for an investment to grow from its beginning balance to its ending balance, assuming the profits were reinvested at the end of each period of the investment’s life span.
    Deployment   See ‘Total new investment’
    Direct Investment   An investment in a portfolio company held directly, not through a private equity fund. Direct Investments are typically co-investments with a private equity fund.
    Discount   Discount arises when the Company’s shares trade at a price below the Company’s NAV per Share. In this circumstance, the price that an investor pays or receives for a share would be less than the value attributable to it by reference to the underlying assets. The Discount is the difference between the share price and the NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. For example, if the NAV was 100p and the share price was 90p, the Discount would be 10%.
    Drawdowns   Drawdowns are amounts invested by the Company when called by underlying managers in respect of an existing Commitment.
    EBITDA   Stands for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, which is a widely used profitability measure in the private equity industry.
    Enlarged Perimeter   The aggregate value of the Top 30 Companies and as many of the managers from within the Top 30 funds as practicable (70% of Portfolio Value at 31 January 2026).
    Enterprise Value EV Enterprise Value is the aggregate value of a company’s entire issued share capital and Net Debt.
    Exclusion List   The Exclusion List defines the business activities which are excluded from investment.
    FTSE All-Share Index Total Return   The change in the level of the FTSE All-Share Index, assuming that dividends are re-invested on the day that they are paid.
    Full Exits   Full Exits are exit events (e.g., trade sale, sale by public offering, or sale to a financial buyer) following which the residual exposure to an underlying company is zero or immaterial; this does not include Fund Disposals. See ‘Fund Disposals’.
    Fund Disposals   Fund Disposals are where the Company receives sales proceeds from the full or partial sale of a fund position within the secondary market.
    General Partner GP The General Partner is the entity managing a private equity fund. This is commonly referred to as the manager.
    Hedging   Hedging is an investment technique designed to offset a potential loss on one investment by purchasing a second investment that is expected to perform in the opposite way.
    Initial Public Offering IPO An Initial Public Offering is an offering by a company of its share capital to the public with a view to seeking an admission of its shares to a recognised stock exchange.
    Internal Rate of Return IRR Internal Rate of Return is a measure of the rate of return received by an investor in a fund. It is calculated from cash drawn from and returned to the investor, together with the residual value of the investment.
    Investment Period   Investment Period is the period in which funds are able to make new investments under the terms of their fund agreements, typically up to five years after the initial Commitment.
    Last Twelve Months LTM Last Twelve Months refers to the timeframe of the immediately preceding 12 months in reference to financial metrics used to evaluate the Company’s performance.
    Limited Partner



    LP The Limited Partner is an institution or individual who commits capital to a private equity fund established as a Limited Partnership. These funds are generally protected from legal actions and any losses beyond the original investment.

    Limited Partnership





      A Limited Partnership includes one or more General Partners, who have responsibility for managing the business of the partnership and have unlimited liability, and one or more Limited Partners, who do not participate in the operation of the partnership and whose liability is ordinarily capped at their capital and loan contribution to the partnership. In typical fund structures, the General Partner receives a priority share ahead of distributions to Limited Partners.



    Net Asset Value per Share NAV per Share

    Net Asset Value per Share is the value of the Company’s net assets attributable to one Ordinary share. It is calculated by dividing ‘shareholders’ funds’ by the total number of ordinary shares in issue, excluding treasury shares. Shareholders’ funds are calculated by deducting current and long-term liabilities, and any provision for liabilities and charges, from the Company’s total assets.
    Net Debt

      Net Debt is calculated as the total short-term and long-term debt in a business, less cash and cash equivalents.
    Ongoing charges   Ongoing Charges are calculated capturing management fees and expenses, excluding finance costs, incurred at the Company level only. The calculation does not include the expenses and management fees incurred by any underlying funds.

        Included within General expenses above are £0.5m (2025: £0.2m (credit)) of other expenses which are non-recurring and are excluded from the Ongoing Charges.
    Other Net Liabilities   Other Net Liabilities at the aggregated Company level represent net other liabilities per the Company’s balance sheet. Net other liabilities per the balance sheet of the subsidiaries include amounts payable under the Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual.
    Overcommitment   Overcommitment refers to where private equity fund investors make Commitments exceeding the amount of liquidity immediately available for investment. When determining the appropriate level of Overcommitment, careful consideration needs to be given to the rate at which Commitments might be drawn down, and the rate at which realisations will generate cash from the existing Portfolio to fund new investment.


    Portfolio   Portfolio represents the aggregate of the investment Portfolios of the Company and of its subsidiary Limited Partnerships. This APM is consistent with the commentary in previous annual and interim reports. The Board and the Manager consider that disclosing our Portfolio assists shareholders in understanding the value and performance of the underlying investments selected by the Manager. It is shown before the Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual to avoid being distorted by certain funds and Direct Investments on which ICG Enterprise Trust Plc does not incur these costs (for example, on funds managed by ICG plc). Portfolio is related to the NAV, which is the value attributed to our shareholders, and which also incorporates the Co-investment Incentive Scheme Accrual as well as the value of cash and debt retained on our balance sheet.

    The value of the Portfolio at 31 January 2026 is £1,352.9m (31 January 2025: £1,523.1m).
