6,276

The amount relates to balance of the bank account maintained by FMO on behalf of the Fund. This balance was previously recognized and presented as ‘Cash balances with banks’, however, it has been reclassified to ‘Current account with FMO’ in the current year to ensure fair presentation. The current account can freely be disposed of.

2. Short-term deposits

Short-term deposits are very liquid accounts with high credit ratings and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in fair value. The fund has on demand full access to the carrying amounts. Short-term deposits consist of money market funds, which are measured at FVPL. Short-term deposits have a maturity of less than three months.

The net result on sales represents the reversal of accumulated previously recognised unrealised fair value movements on the instruments sold and the actual realised result on sale of the instrument compared to the initial cost of the investment. Unrealized results from FX differences on non-monetary financial assets (investments in equity instruments) are a component of the change in their entire fair value. This amount is calculated using a spot-spot revaluation of the outstanding FV carrying amount on a daily basis and is presented separately.

17. Off-Balance Sheet information

To meet the financial needs of borrowers, the Fund enters into various irrevocable commitments (loan commitments, equity commitments). Though these obligations are not recognized on the statement of financial position, they do obtain Credit Risk similar to the loan portfolio. Therefore, provisions are calculated for loan commitments according to ECL measurement methodology. Refer to the 'Accounting Policies' chapter.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 – Valuation technique for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

Valuation processes

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, FMO has a valuation process in place to decide its valuation policies and procedures and analyze changes in fair value measurement from period to period.

The Fund’s fair value methodology and governance over its methods includes a number of controls and other procedures to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure its quality and adequacy. The responsibility of ongoing measurement resides with the relevant departments. Once submitted, fair value estimates are also reviewed and challenged by the Financial Risk Committee (FRC). The FRC approves the fair values measured including the valuation techniques and other significant input parameters used.

Valuation techniques

When available, the fair value of an instrument is measured by using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument (level 1). A market is regarded as active if transactions of the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

If there is no quoted price in an active market, valuation techniques are used that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation techniques applied by FMO to determine the fair value of its financial instruments are described below:

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Debt instruments

Type of loans

Valuation methodology

Fixed rate loans at FVTPL (Level 3)

Performing fixed‑rate loans are valued using a discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, where contractual cash flows—including any performance‑related additional cash flows—are discounted using a curve built from a risk‑free base curve (Reuters zero‑curve) and an individual credit spread reflecting client‑specific credit quality.

Floating rate loans at FVTPL (Level 3)

Floating‑rate loans are valued using a method that approximates an amortised‑cost–based approach, because changes in risk‑free rates are neutralised at each interest reset. Fair value is defined as gross outstanding minus the change in lifetime expected credit losses (LECL) between current and initial ratings, reflecting credit‑spread‑driven market value changes. Embedded options, if any, are priced separately and added to the loan’s value.

Debt funds at FVTPL (Level 3)

The Net Asset Value from investee's financial statements and investor reports prepared by fund manager

Non‑performing Fixed/floating loans at FVTPL, debt funds at FVTPL (Level 3)

Non‑performing loans are valued at gross outstanding minus a specific impairment, reflecting the best estimate of recoverable value. The valuation incorporates all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors, including restructuring prospects, collateral realisation, or firm offers, and follows the standard Investment Review Committee impairment process used for amortised‑cost loans.

Loans with Margin Adjustments (Level 3)

Loans containing EBITDA-, ROAE- or profit‑linked margin features require additional inputs beyond standard fixed or floating loan valuation. Forward‑looking financial forecasts must be considered to determine whether additional margin components (e.g., interest step‑ups) are expected to apply. These expected adjustments are reflected in the cash flow schedule and discounted. For loans without outstanding balances, the value of the margin adjustment is set to zero.

Loans at FVPL with Other Features (Level 3)

Some loans are designated at FVPL due to unique or complex contractual features that do not fit the standard valuation models. Where none of the prescribed fair value methodologies apply, these loans are valued at amortised cost plus impairment, effectively approximating nominal value unless material differences exist.

Derivatives

The Fund uses internal valuation models to value derivative financial instruments. Valuation inputs include valuation curves provided by specialized price-makers for emerging markets currencies. Consequently, derivatives involving emerging market currencies are classified as level 2.

Equity investments

Equity investments are measured at fair value when a quoted market price in an active market is available or when fair value can be estimated reliably by using a valuation technique. The main part of the fair value measurement related to equity investments (level 3) is based on net asset values of investment funds as reported by the fund manager and are based on advanced valuation methods and practices. When available, these fund managers value the underlying investments based on quoted prices, if not available multiples are applied as input for the valuation. For the valuation process of the equity investments, we further refer to the accounting policies within these financial statements as well as section 'Equity Risk', part of the Risk Management chapter. The determination of the timing of transfers is embedded in the quarterly valuation process and is therefore recorded at the end of each reporting period.

Firm Offer

When a credible firm offer exists, the fair value should be based on the firm offer price minus all transaction costs. This method reflects the most concrete and observable market-based exit price available at the valuation date.

Put Option

Where the Fund holds an exercisable put option, the fair value may be based on its strike value, considering also the counterparty’s ability to execute the option. This method relies on counterparty risk assessment and contractual clarity.

Multiples (Book, earnings, Market/industry, Anchored)

Multiples apply when comparable financial or market data can be used to estimate value. Book multiples are applied to reflect equity performance. Earnings multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/E) are applied for companies with maintainable earnings. Market/industry multiples rely on peer benchmarks. Anchored multiples use the post‑money valuation at investment entry, performance are subsequently assessed.

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)

DCF values an investment based on the present value of expected future cash flows or earnings, discounted using a risk‑adjusted rate

Net Asset Value (NAV)

Net asset value involves the application of the reported NAV. This is directly applied as the valuation input for the investment. And it could also be applied to direct investments of which the value is indirectly derived from the respective NAV. 

Cost as Best Estimate

If no reliable valuation inputs are available - typically during the first 12 months of an investment, the cost of Fund's investment may serve as the best estimate of fair value.

Other Methods

When none of the standard methodologies are applicable, other valuation methods may be used, but only with clear, enhanced justification explaining why all typical alternatives are unsuitable.

Other financial assets carried at FVPL represent amounts attributable to the Dutch State in return for their co-investment in the FMO Ventures Program. The amount attributable to co-investors is based on a predefined value sharing waterfall which utilizes the values of the underlying investments in the program. The underlying investments in the program are valued using the existing equity investment fair valuation techniques described in the paragraphs above. The waterfall calculation defines the timing and amount of distributions to respective co-investors and is therefore applied to estimate the fair values of the related financial asset.

The table below presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value. 

The carrying values of the financial asset and liability categories in the table below are measured at AC. The underlying changes to the fair value of these assets and liabilities are therefore not recognized in the statement of financial position.

The valuation technique we use for the fair value determination of these financial instruments is the discounted cash-flow method. The discount rate we apply is a spread curve based on the average spread of the portfolio. The fair value calculation is mainly based on level 3 inputs.
