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.

Chairman
