It highlighted a robust 2025 portfolio performance with double-digit EBITDA growth, strong realisation activity and proactive management. The presentation also covered the benefit of having ICG as the manager. ICGT gives investors a unique portfolio of private companies, which have delivered superior long-term growth compared with public markets.

Hardman Talks | UK tech sector outlook for investors. In Part One of this Hardman Talks series, technology analyst at Hardman & Co, Richard Jeans, meets with Larissa Adams to discuss the latest outlook for the UK tech sector. Despite a challenging period for share prices and notable underperformance versus the wider market, many companies continue to deliver positive trading updates, supported by strong balance sheets and resilient demand. The conversation explores the growing gap between market sentiment and underlying fundamentals, as well as broader trends shaping the sector.
