Comments by the CEO
NAXS net asset value per share decreased by 4.9% to SEK 72.46 during Q3 2024. The company reported a net loss of MSEK 41.5 for the quarter, mainly due to a decline in the value of private equity fund investments. Net cash stood at MSEK 222, following repayments from private equity funds.
