The Interim Results statement towards the end of the year more likely, Closing Price: £3.23 in our view, to provide a better indication of progress since the public listing in June. Post Gerry Hennigan IPO commentary in the statement largely reflected the £3.1m investment in Stockholm- +353-1-641 9274 based Lifesum, a digital health company, and the sale of Movidius. The former saw our [email protected] portfolio value rise to £79.5m. The latter, which was guided to provide a 21% uplift (c.£16m) to the pro-forma NAV of £76.4 at IPO, led us increase our projected value as of December 2017 from £140m to c.£151m or £3.71 per share and our PT to £3.75. Also on Friday, Zendesk, which delivers a customer service platform to more than 81,000 paid customer accounts in over 150 countries, and a more traditionally-aligned competitor to Conversocial, announced a new integration that lets businesses engage with customers on non-traditional support channels. Target channels include Amazon, eBay, and Conversocial’s Draper stable-mate, Trustpilot. Driven by consumer demand for companies to expand the breadth of service channels, Zendesk has enabled customer service agents to respond to online reviews on Trustpilot, which, according to the statement from Zendesk, is publishing 500,000 reviews each month. Positives that we would draw from Zendesk statement are the pace of expansion of the traditional customer service offering beyond the confines of voicemail and email, indirectly reinforcing the social media offering of Conversocial, and Zendesk’s recognition of the Trustpilot franchise within the corporate review market. Conversocial contributes £5.4m and Trustpilot £8.9m to our Draper Esprit portfolio NAV at IPO of £76.4m.

Home… Commercial Property Interest in Dublin office market from UK firms An Irish Times article this morning indicates that the Central Bank is to split its market Eamonn Hughes +353-1-641 9442 supervision division into two units as it deals with a surge of inquiries from London-based [email protected] investment funds and firms following the Brexit vote. The report also notes a UK Telegraph article over the weekend that a number of top law firms, insurers and asset managers in the City have quietly appointed property agents to seek out new offices in Dublin, naming Freshfields, Slaughter & May and Allan & Overy among the list.

In the US, a rate hike has been pretty [email protected] much taken off the table for this week’s meeting as a result of the weaker run of data over the past few weeks. However, there will be plenty of focus on the economic forecasts published at the meeting, the all-important “dot-plots” and the post-meeting press conference with Janet Yellen. Currently, the market is 50/50 on a rate hike at the December meeting. It is likely that Yellen will keep to the mantra that the next move by the Fed will be data-dependent, but it will be interesting to see whether the recent poor data has changed views on the durability of the US expansion. While it is likely that the next Fed move is upwards, much of the rest of the developed world is in easing mode. This is why this week’s Bank of Japan meeting will be watched closely. There has been plenty of speculation about what the BoJ may do on Wednesday, but there remains significant uncertainty about the specifics, with even more negative rates, a bigger QE programme or a shift in the maturity of assets that are purchased all being a possibility. Given that the BoJ has really been the test-case for many of the unconventional monetary policy measures that central banks have employed over recent years, their actions may again be a foretaste of things to come in other regions. Bond yields moved up over the past week, with the market seemingly questioning whether central banks have run out of road in their policy efforts. This week’s meeting will give us some clues as to whether this is a reasonable view.
