Fondul Proprietatea’s portfolio structure still remains focused on the power utility generation sector (76.5% of NAV) with Infrastructure (7.3%) and Power & Gas supply and distribution (7.1%) following. This is also why the three most significant holdings, Hidroelectrica, Aeroporturi Bucuresti, and Engie Romania amount to 84.4% of the total NAV of the Fund.
