The Company’s return was 9.74% from the beginning of the year, against returns of 11.83% recorded by FTSE/Χ.Α. Large Cap, 11.17% recorded by FTSE/Χ.Α. MID CAP and 14.88% recorded by the General Index of the ATHEX for the same period.
ANDROMEDA’s assets at the end of the quarter stood at euro 12.31 mil while the Company’s portfolio in current prices was totally invested in Greece, by approximately 90.85% in stocks, 5.02% in bonds and by 4.13% in cash reserves.
The Company’s net asset value per share at the end of the quarter stood at euro 29.46 while its share price at euro 22.90, thus trading at a discount of 22.27%.
