"LF Equity Income Fund holds £31 million in liquidation, primarily Nexeon and cash. Completed Benevolent AI disposal before delisting."

Executive Summary

The LF Equity Income Fund remains in liquidation with £30.97 million in assets as of March 2025, comprising primarily Nexeon valued at £21.66 million and £9.17 million in cash equivalents through Northern Trust Sterling Liquidity Fund. The fund completed disposal of its Benevolent AI position through market sales before the company delisted from Euronext. Link Fund Solutions deferred making a capital distribution of approximately £20 per 10,000 shares to minimize costs, preferring to wait for a more significant distribution opportunity. The Settlement Scheme has made no additional payments since March 2024, with the next review scheduled for September 2025. Management continues seeking opportunities to dispose of the Nexeon position, expressing hope for completion in the latter part of 2025. Share values range from 0.68 to 0.86 pence across different classes. The fund operates with extended accounting periods and six-monthly NAV publications, with the next update expected in January 2026 unless material developments occur.
