Half-Yearly Board Report (continued) Chairman's Statement

Since the annual report and financial statements were published in July 2021, I am pleased to report another successful period with the NAV of the Oryx International Growth Fund Limited (the "Company") rising another 14.13% to £18.74 for the six month period ended 30th September 2021. Likewise, we have seen a narrowing of the discount so that the share price rose during the period by £3.10; a rise of 20.81%.

As you will see from the Investment Adviser's Report and the description of the top ten holdings, the investments of the Company continue to perform well. In the current uncertain climate with new Covid-19 variants now in circulation and stock markets skittish, it is difficult to make any firm predictions other than to reiterate that the Company is invested in well run businesses with good management and excellent prospects for value creation; an investment philosophy that has served so well in the past and will in the future.

Investment objective

The investment objective of the Company is to seek to generate consistently high absolute returns whilst maintaining a low level of risk for shareholders.

Investment policy

The Company principally invests in small and mid-size quoted and unquoted companies in the United Kingdom and the United States.

The Investment Manager targets companies that have fundamentally strong business models, but where there may be specific factors which are constraining the maximisation or realisation of shareholder value, which may be realised through the pursuit of an activist shareholder agenda by the Investment Manager. Dividend income is a secondary consideration when making investment decisions.
