East Capital Explorer AB - Fund Investment Performance May 2015
East Capital Explorer discontinues monthly fund performance reports
East Capital Explorer has decided to discontinue the published monthly fund
performance reports. This report is thereby the last. The reason for the
decision is that the proportion of funds without publicly available Net Asset
Values (NAV) has been reduced to a non-substantial part of the Company's NAV,
while Private Equity and Real Estate investments have increased. In the event of
major value changes in the fund holdings, with a material effect on the
Company's NAV, the market will be informed in accordance with Nasdaq Stockholm's
Rule book for Issuer. East Capital Explorer's NAV is published quarterly in the
Company's interim reports.
