TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2023 (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 $103.16 at June 30, 2023. All amounts are in U.S. dollars.
Income available for distribution for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 was $37 million compared to $34 million in the prior year period. Dividend income was higher in the current period due to the receipt of shares of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. (the "Manager", NYSE/TSX: BAM) as part of the spinoff of Brookfield Corporation's (formerly known as Brookfield Asset Management Inc.) asset management business on December 9, 2022. The net comprehensive income in the period of $379 million was primarily driven by unrealized mark-to-market movement on the share price of the Brookfield Corporation (the "Corporation", NYSE/TSX: BN) and Manager shares. On a per share basis, the fair value of a Corporation share was $33.65 as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $31.46). On a per share basis, the fair value of a Manager share was $32.63 as at June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022 - $28.67).
