Industry outlook
Investor sentiment towards the IPC sector in general has remained negative with stocks typically trading at a meaningful discount to NAV. In 2019, investor frustration at a lack of material exits/value realisation across the sector are only likely to intensify leading to greater differentiation between stocks that offer the potential for meaningful exits in a realistic timeframe and those that do not.
