APQ Global Ltd - Guernsey-incorporated emerging markets investor - Book value as at December 31 is $7.2 million, down by more than two thirds from $23.6 million at the start of 2022. Suffers a drawdown across the year. The decrease in book value is due to a decline in the value of liquid markets portfolio and currency effects in the valuation of the direct investment portfolio, APQ Global says. Pretax loss widens to $16.3 million in 2022 from $7.6 million in 2021, as book value per share drops to 9.21 cents from 30.07 cents. Revenue, however, edges up to $7.2 million from $6.9 million, and administrative expenses are cut to $303,405 from $4.2 million.

Looking ahead, APQ Global says it has been able to take opportunities to develop its direct investment portfolio which is now ‘very well positioned to capitalise from several growing trends globally’.
