In this episode, our director of content for investment companies, Milosz Papst, talks about Patria Private Equity Trust (PPET), a UK 250 vehicle investing predominantly in European private equity funds and direct investments through a concentrated group of core managers. Milosz covers PPET's results for the six months to 31 March 2026, including 13.7% revenue growth and 13.4% EBITDA growth across its top 100 underlying holdings, alongside a 5.5% share price total return, achieved despite Middle East-driven volatility and a sell-off in software valuations. He discusses the trust's active deployment into new funds and direct deals such as Omilia and AlphaPet, strong realisations including the Uvesco exit, and its growing direct-investment programme. Milosz also touches on PPET's dividend record of 12 consecutive years of increases and its ongoing share buyback programme.
