GROWTH METRICS

Sabcap’s primary financial metric is growth in NAV per share. This 
is measured annually and growth rates over different periods are 
included in the year end results. The 15-year compounded annual 
growth rate to the 2020 year-end was 18,6%, calculated without re-
investing dividends. The compounded annual growth rate in NAV per 
share over 15 years with dividends reinvested was 19,89%*. 

With regard to the discount of the share price to NAV per share, 
Sabcap hopes to facilitate a reduction through buybacks, continued 
sound investment performance, improved communications to 
shareholders and a more long-term shareholder profile of family 
offices, HNWIs and institutions. However, it should be noted that 
shareholders investing at a particular discount get the same 
growth in share price as the growth in NAV as long as the discount 
doesn’t widen, and any reduction in discount is an added return.

* Calculated with dividends notionally not paid and the amounts 
  notionally retained by the Company growing at 9% per annum.
