UIL Limited reports 13.5% NAV return in June amid geopolitical tensions

LONDON - UIL Limited announced a 13.5% increase in net asset value (NAV) total return for June 2025, significantly outperforming the FTSE All Share total return Index which rose by 0.5% during the same period, according to a company press release.

The month was marked by heightened geopolitical tensions, including Israeli attacks on Iranian facilities, Iranian reprisals, and U.S. strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites on June 21. Markets subsequently rallied after President Trump announced a ceasefire, with the S&P 500 Index ending the month up 5.0% and the Dow Jones Index rising 4.3%.

While the U.S. Federal Reserve and Bank of England maintained interest rates, the European Central Bank implemented a 25 basis point rate cut. This divergence in monetary policy contributed to mixed market performance, with the Eurostoxx Index declining 1.2% and the FTSE 100 Index dropping 0.1%.

In the company’s portfolio, Australian mortgage lender Resimac delivered a 15.6% return for the month, including dividends. Zeta Resources, another key holding, saw valuation increases driven by its investments in gold miners Kumarina and Horizon Gold, with the latter’s share price rising 9.8%.

Allectus Quantum’s portfolio company Diraq experienced a significant valuation increase following a AUD 15.0 million investment round. Diraq has recently announced partnerships with Quantum Machines and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) DGX Quantum, and was selected for the U.S. DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative.

UIL’s ordinary share price increased 1.7% to 118.00p during June, with 42,900 shares bought back at 116.50p. The company’s 2026 and 2028 ZDP shares decreased by 1.4% and 0.4% respectively to 137.00p and 118.00p.
