TORONTO, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Partners Value Split Corp. (the “Company”, TSX: PVS.PR.F, PVS.PR.G, PVS.PR.H, PVS.PR.I, PVS.PR.J, PVS.PR.K) announced today that the net asset value per unit was $128.34 as at June 30, 2024. All amounts are in U.S. dollars.
Income available for distribution for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, was $42 million compared to $37 million in the prior year period. Dividend income was higher in the current period due to an increase in the dividend rate by Brookfield Corporation (the “Corporation”, NYSE/TSX: BN) and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (the “Manager”, NYSE/TSX: BAM). Net comprehensive income of $160 million decreased compared to the prior period primarily due to lower unrealized mark-to-market gains on the Corporation and Manager shares prices. On a per share basis, the fair value of a Corporation share was $41.54 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $40.12). On a per share basis, the fair value of a Manager share was $38.05 as at June 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023 - $40.17).
