Following the popular two-part series format from last year, Mark Thomas meets with Colm Walsh, Co-Manager of ICG Enterprise Trust, to answer reader-submitted questions across a range of topics. In this first episode, Colm discusses the trust’s approach to investing in private equity and its positioning in an uncertain economic environment. The conversation explores why investors should consider investing in ICGT, how its defensive growth strategy works, the reasons NAV growth has lagged investee company EBITDA and revenue growth, what a recovery in private equity realisations could mean, the outlook for exit uplifts, and how the trust is well positioned for the AI-driven changes affecting software.
