Commentary

Managing Director, Koen Dejonckheere, on the past quarter: "The intensive investment and divestment activities continued in recent months. Realised capital gains on exits and the sustained value creation processes at our portfolio companies again resulted in a strong portfolio return and further growth in equity. This confirmed the positive trend of the first semester."
