Corporate

Managing Director Koen Dejonckheere, on the past financial half-year's results:"The last six months we once again plucked the fruit of the value creation in our companies. This expressed itself in a record amount of realised gains and in a portfolio that is well on its way to producing an above-average return for the third year in a row. In addition, last year's pace of investment was maintained with eight new shareholdings."
