Investment company LMS Capital reported a fall in annual net assets as its investment portfolio was hurt by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

For the year ended 31 December 2020, net asset value fell to £47.9 million, or 59.4 pence per share, from £56.0 million, or 69.3 pence per share in 2019.

The reduction was blamed on the impact of Covid-19 on portfolio investment valuations in the first half of the year, that widened portfolio losses to £2.1 million from £0.8 million year-on-year.

'The previously announced Dacian Petroleum transaction remains in the final stage of government approvals, and we have backed two real estate teams, George Capital and Cavera, that have a pipeline of opportunities,' the company said.
