Schroders Capital Global Innovation Trust Realises £6.5m from Bluewater Bio Sale in Ongoing Wind-Down

The latest update is out from Schroder UK Public Private Trust ( (GB:INOV) ).

Schroders Capital Global Innovation Trust has announced that its interest in the Salica Environmental Technology Fund has completed the sale of underlying portfolio company Bluewater Bio Limited to a European private equity-backed strategic buyer, with proceeds broadly matching the trust’s previously disclosed third-quarter 2025 valuation and therefore not expected to materially affect its net asset value. The disposal, which stems from an option structured in 2020 to retain exposure to Ombu Group assets via a partnership interest in the fund, forms part of the trust’s wider asset realisation and wind-down programme begun in February 2025; the Board plans a further capital return to shareholders later this year, and the £6.5 million distribution due from this exit—one of the final sales from the fund, which has delivered around 2.8x money multiple—is described as a significant realisation that will be reflected in the trust’s forthcoming FY25 annual report.
