    Comments by the CEO

    NAXS delivered a robust performance during the first half-year of 2017,
    with the NAV/share growing by 8.6%.

    Public markets continued to offer an attractive exit route for our
    managers during the second quarter, with 4 new listings and several
    share sell-downs for previously listed portfolio companies.

    During the quarter, NAXS divested its entire stake in MIPS, which it had
    acquired in the initial public offering the company on Nasdaq Stockholm
    in March. This investment, which was one of the first made in accordance

    with NAXS’ revised investment policy, generated a multiple on invested capital of 1.3x in
    under two months.
