Established in 1978, NK is a designer, manufacturer and distributer of rugged, waterproof environmental and sports performance instruments for active lifestyles and technical applications.

Having first invested in NK in December 2010, JZCP received proceeds of $8.6 million from the sale, representing a realised gross multiple of invested capital of 3.3x and a realised gross IRR of 19.2%.

David Zalaznick, JZCP’s Founder and Investment Adviser, commented: “We are pleased with the successful outcome of both investments. The combined uplift of $13.4 million in these two realisations demonstrates the soundness of the Company’s NAV and our ability to achieve realisations above the current valuations in the NAV.”
