AJOT’s NAV increased by +1.1% during an active month for corporate activity. The two largest contributors to performance were Alps Logistics, (+76.6% share price) which was subject to a takeover bid from the KKR-owned Logisteed, and Nihon Kohden, (+11.5%) which released a transformative mid-term plan. Takuma (-12.8%), which released a disappointing mid-term plan, and NC Holdings, (- 22.6%) which shortly after month end was subject to a takeover bid from a US fund that is set to more than reverse the share price decline, were two significant detractors.
