Risk Considerations
The value of investments, and the income from them, may go down as well as up, and is not guaranteed and an investor may not get back the amount of money invested. There is no assurance that the investment objective of PIN will be achieved. Further, the market price of PIN shares may not fully reflect their underlying net asset value and it is not uncommon for the market price of PIN shares to trade at a substantial discount to their net asset value. This discount may increase or reduce due to market factors which are unrelated to PIN’s net asset value or performance. You should also remember that past performance cannot be relied on as a guide to future performance and that rates and levels of taxation may change. The spread between the purchase and sale prices for certain investment trusts, and classes of investment trust, can be wide. This means the purchase price can be considerably higher than the sale price.
You should also note the following risks relating to investments made by PIN:
PIN invests in private equity funds and unquoted companies which are less readily marketable than quoted securities and may take a long time to realise. In addition, such investments may carry a higher degree of risk than investments in quoted securities. PIN may be adversely affected by these risks notwithstanding the level of diversification which PIN seeks to achieve in relation to its investment portfolio.
PIN uses its borrowing facilities to make investments in order to manage its cash flow flexibly without having to retain significant cash balances. The use of borrowings should enhance net asset value per share where the value of PIN’s underlying assets is rising, but will lead to a correspondingly greater percentage reduction in net asset value per share in the event of a reduction in the value of PIN’s investments. In addition, PIN may from time to time invest in private equity funds or unquoted companies which are geared by loan facilities which rank ahead of PIN’s investment both for payment of interest and capital. Accordingly, PIN may be exposed to gearing by such private equity funds and unquoted companies.
There is no guarantee that PIN will find sufficient suitable investment opportunities, or that private equity funds in which PIN invests will find suitable investment opportunities, to achieve the level of diversification which PIN seeks to achieve in relation to its investment portfolio.
Private equity investments are long term in nature and may take some years before reaching a level of maturity at which they can be realised. Accordingly, it is possible that PIN may not receive a return on investments made by it for a number of years.
In valuing its investments in private equity funds and unquoted companies and in publishing its net asset value, PIN relies to a significant extent on the accuracy of financial and other information provided by these funds and companies to Pantheon. Valuation methods used by those funds and companies may be inconsistent.
At any given time, PIN typically has outstanding, unpaid commitments to private equity funds which are substantial relative to PIN’s assets. PIN’s ability to meet these commitments (and avoid the potentially adverse consequences of default) depends on PIN receiving cash distributions from its investments and, to the extent these are insufficient, on the continuing availability of PIN’s financing facilities.
PIN invests in overseas markets. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may cause the value of an investment to go up or down.
Most of the private equity funds and unquoted companies in which PIN invests are not subject to regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority or an equivalent regulatory body. Such funds and companies may be in jurisdictions which do not provide an equivalent level of investor protection to that provided in the United Kingdom.
PIN is dependent upon Pantheon UK as its manager and may be adversely affected if the services of Pantheon cease to be available to PIN.
If PIN fails to continue to meet the qualifying conditions for an investment trust, this may result in the loss of the exemption from liability for corporation tax on chargeable capital gain.
Other principal risks associated with PIN’s activities are described in the notes to the financial statements in PIN’s latest annual report and accounts.
