Cordiant is an investment firm focused on digital infrastructure assets.

Net asset value per share at September 30 was 112.7 pence, down 0.6% from 113.4p at March 31, due to the payment of the 2.0p per share second interim dividend in July 2023, Cordiant Digital explained. NAV total return was 1.1%.

The company said it is well positioned, and looks forward to the second half of the year "with confidence".

Chair Shonaid Jemmett-Page said: "I am pleased to report a solid performance by the company for the first six months of the year, despite the challenging economic conditions during the period...The strength of the portfolio has been achieved with a conservative level of debt and through a disciplined acquisition strategy."

Shares in Cordiant Digital rose 0.5% to 71.35 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.
