Summary by 6ix AI

Seneca Growth Capital VCT Plc, a venture capital trust, and its investment manager Seneca Partners Limited reviewed its portfolio valuations for the quarter ending September 30, 2026. They set an unaudited net asset value (NAV, the value of its holdings per share) of 9.7p per Ordinary share and 36.7p per B share.

Key details

  • B shares: NAV rose 0.1p from 36.6p at June 30, 2026, due to a slight net increase in the value of the B share pool's quoted holdings. Valuations of its unquoted investments were unchanged. Total return was 57.7p per share, compared with 57.6p at June 30, 2026.
  • Ordinary shares: NAV fell 23% from 12.6p at June 30, 2026. The 2.9p decrease was principally due to a fall in the share price of Scancell Holdings Plc, which is quoted on AIM (the London Stock Exchange's growth market). Valuations of unquoted investments were unchanged.
  • Ordinary share total return was 90.9p per share at September 30, 2026, compared with 93.8p at June 30, 2026.
  • Dividends of 1.5p per B share and 4.0p per Ordinary share were paid on October 2, 2026. Before any other movements, these reduced NAV per B share from 36.7p to 35.2p and NAV per Ordinary share from 9.7p to 5.7p.
  • Quoted investments are valued at closing bid prices as at September 30, 2026, and unquoted investments are carried at fair value.

Unaudited Net Asset Value ("NAV")

The Directors of Seneca Growth Capital VCT Plc (the "Company") and the Investment Manager of the Company, Seneca Partners Limited ("Seneca"), have reviewed the valuation of the Company's investment portfolios for the quarter ending 30 September 2026 and announce an updated NAV for each of the Company's Ordinary and B share classes as at 30 September 2026.

For the purposes of calculating the NAV per share for both share classes, quoted investments are valued in line with closing bid prices as at 30 September 2026 and unquoted investments are carried at fair value.                 

B share NAV as at 30 September 2026

As at 30 September 2026, the unaudited B share NAV was 36.7p per share, a 0.1p increase from the previously published unaudited NAV as at 30 June 2026 of 36.6p.

The 0.1p increase in NAV was due to a slight net increase in the value of the B share pool's quoted holdings. The valuations of the B share pool's unquoted investments remained unchanged compared with 30 June 2026.

Total Return as at 30 September 2026 was 57.7p per share, compared with 57.6p as at 30 June 2026.

Following the quarter end, a dividend of 1.5p per B share was paid on 2 October 2026. The effect of this payment, before any other movements in NAV, was to reduce the NAV per B share from 36.7p to 35.2p.

Ordinary share NAV as at 30 September 2026

As at 30 September 2026, the unaudited Ordinary share NAV was 9.7p per share, a 23% decrease from the previously published unaudited NAV as at 30 June 2026 of 12.6p.

The 2.9p decrease in NAV was principally due to the decrease in the share price of AIM-quoted Scancell Holdings Plc. The valuations of the Ordinary share pool's unquoted investments remained unchanged compared with 30 June 2026.

Total Return as at 30 September 2026 was 90.9p per share, compared with 93.8p as at 30 June 2026.

Following the quarter end, a dividend of 4.0p per Ordinary share was paid on 2 October 2026. The effect of this payment, before any other movements in NAV, was to reduce the NAV per Ordinary share from 9.7p to 5.7p.
