How this figure is calculated
It divides net debt, after cash, by the value of the assets, rather than gross borrowings by gross assets: that is why it differs from the share above.
These borrowings are the investment company's own — the ones its published bridge to net asset value deducts. They cover the same perimeter as the gross assets the chart divides, so the share above really does measure how much of those assets is debt-financed.

The whole journalGBL and Recordati: persuading sellers now comes at a higher price
A €53 offer, a major seller already committed and more shares still needed. How far has the consortium come, and what does that mean for GBL shareholders?
GBL borrows another €500m: where does the private investment debt sit?
A 4% bond at the holding company and a separate acquisition financing plan for Recordati are two different layers of leverage.
Recordati resists EUR51.29: why the offer is a EUR1.3 billion test for GBL
The pharmaceutical group is meant to embody GBL's new control strategy. Minority opposition turns price, threshold and future governance into its first full-scale examination.

Average return .
Method and sources
Each panel carries its own scale: lengths compare within a panel, never from one panel to the next.
A return is never converted from one currency to another: that would take the exchange rate move over the whole period, not the rate on one reporting date. The company's series are served in the issuer's currency only.
Every company covered is compared with the same benchmark, never with the index their own manager picked: a manager who picks his index also picks the bar he had to clear. This benchmark is not the MSCI ACWI itself, which belongs to MSCI and may not be redistributed. It is the median, recomputed by Opulion, of the net asset values published by three ETFs from three different managers tracking that index: iShares (IE00B6R52259), State Street SPDR (IE00B44Z5B48) and Amundi (LU1829220133). A single fund is never served on its own. Convention: last net asset value on a date at or before the reporting date, within a seven calendar day window; geometric annualisation over the nominal horizon; conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of the day of the net asset value actually retained, a cross rate being an Opulion computation that is declared as such. The recomputation reproduces the performance each manager publishes for its own fund, to the second decimal, fifteen times out of twenty, and never departs from it by more than 0.04 point. Funds used: BlackRock, State Street and Amundi.
Converted at the reference rate of Jun 30, 2026, published by the European Central Bank.

Getting to know GBL
Each answer links to its source.
Who decides?
Pargesa, which holds 35.1 % of the capital and 48.6 % of the voting rights. Pargesa is jointly owned by Canada's Power Corporation group and Belgium's Frère group, bound for more than thirty years by a shareholders' agreement, a contract that organises their joint control.
Sourcegbl.comWhat does it own?
Three pockets. Listed stakes, 54 % of the portfolio, led by SGS; private companies held directly, 38 %, such as Affidea, almost wholly owned; and a non-core pocket of funds and co-investments that it is gradually exiting.
Sourcegbl.comHow does it choose its investments?
As “permanent capital”: since it depends on no fundraising, it can keep a company with no set exit date. It favours private companies held directly, alongside founders, families and management teams, without excessive borrowing.
Sourcegbl.comHow does it make money?
Through two channels. Dividends paid by its holdings make up most of its cash earnings, the income it actually receives in cash. Capital gains, for their part, arise when it sells a holding for more than it paid for it.
Sourcegbl.comHow are shareholders paid?
Through a dividend, 5.13 € gross per share for the last financial year, which the company intends to keep stable. It is funded by cash earnings and by a share of disposal gains that it sets itself. Share buybacks come on top.
Sourcegbl.comWhat sets it apart
Its share buybacks strengthen those who control it. Shares repurchased by GBL and its subsidiary Sagerpar add to those of Pargesa and the Frère and Desmarais families, who act in concert: this bloc has thus reached 60.0 % of the voting rights.
