Real Estate Credit Investments Ltd (LON:RECI) announced its Investment Manager’s monthly Fact Sheet as at 31 March 2022. 

The highlights of the monthly update are provided below:

• NAV as at 31 March 2022 was £1.499 per share after payment of the latest dividend, representing an overall decrease of 2.2p per share from the 28 February 2022 NAV of £1.521 per share.
• The change in NAV per share was due to:-
  • the payment of the fourth interim dividend of 3.0p, which went ex-dividend in March,
  • receipt of 1.0p of interest income; and
