NAV Discount Provides Context for PSH's Ongoing Share Repurchase Programme
A key metric for investors in closed-ended funds is the relationship between the market price and the underlying NAV. PSH's NAV per Public Share was calculated at 83.35 USD (62.46 GBP) as of 10 November 2026, while shares were repurchased at an average of approximately 52.80 USD. This implies the buyback was conducted at a material discount to NAV, a dynamic that is consistent with PSH's stated rationale for its ongoing repurchase programme. Buybacks at a discount to NAV are generally considered accretive to remaining shareholders in a closed-ended fund structure.
