The figures reflect a challenging year, especially in the latter half, as investment income experienced dips compared to previous quarters and the prior year. The financial highlights include a net investment income of $0.48 per share for the last quarter of 2025, a modest decrease from $0.57 in Q3 2025. This downward trend is mirrored in the adjusted net investment income which also fell to $0.52 per share in the same quarter from $0.57.

Yearly Overview

Overall, for the year 2025, the company was able to achieve a net investment income of $2.34 per share, down from $2.90 reported for 2024. A notable aspect of the financial report is the total net realized and unrealized loss of $2.30 per share, indicative of the challenges faced by their portfolio investments, compared to a loss of $0.81 per share in 2024.
